One Small Step is a scientifically backed initiative designed to foster deeper understanding between individuals. Across the country, nearly 6,000 people from diverse backgrounds and with different beliefs and perspectives have taken part in One Small Step conversations.

Through guided dialogues, One Small Step encourages participants to listen just as much as they speak and stay open to a wide range of opinions. Dialogue Vanderbilt has partnered with StoryCorps to bring One Small Step to Middle Tennessee. Jad Abumrad, co-founder of Radiolab, joins us to talk about the essentials and efficacy of this ambitious program.
