The BothAnd Project is a joint initiative of the Mainstream Media Project & the Harvard Global Negotiation Project


The objective of BothAnd is to shift the national conversation from destructive debate to creative problem-solving by demonstrating new forms of constructive interaction in the broadcast media as a catalyst to a broader transformation of our civic culture. 

Our goal is to replace either/or with BothAnd thinking as a more productive approach to divisive public issues.

BothAnd radio programs are a special edition of the weekly, award-winning radio program “A World of Possibilities.” BothAnd programs pair individuals from opposite ends of the political spectrum not to confront one another but to clarify their core values and seek common ground where possible. 

Guided by host Mark Sommer, the conversations demonstrate how differences can be bridged through mediated conversations, and often reveal surprising points of agreement between the guests.

The BothAnd Project is offering telephone orientations for persons who need to advocate their cause in the media as well as engage in conversations with others who see things differently. Specific skills for talking on talk radio are practiced using the BothAnd approach.
