Origami Elephants Podcast

Origami Elephants celebrates the tension between beauty and certainty. Hosts Bryne Lewis and JR. Forasteros tackle the elephants in the room – the topics we either avoid or fight about. Bryne, JR. and their guests choose instead to investigate the elephants, to let them draw us together rather than divide.

Forasteros tackle the elephants in the room, talking about issues that often go ignored for fear of a fight.
