Welcome to a special segment called "The Heart Speaks Politics". In the coming weeks I'll be releasing a series of segments where I dive deeper into the things that make us all tick - Love, Culture, Politics and Music.

I speak with Winston Marshall, a British musician and podcaster best known as a lead guitarist of the British folk rock band Mumford & Sons.

In some respects, I get the sense that is both a pragmatic and a wisdom move designed to help us overcome social division and conflicting cognitions.
