About This Podcast

Searching for Common Ground is a podcast that dares to ask the hard questions—without shutting down the conversation. Hosted by Rabbi Mark Perman, this thought-provoking show invites listeners on a journey beyond the boundaries of fixed perspectives and entrenched beliefs. Each episode explores how we can challenge ourselves to grow, reflect, and connect with ideas and people we might otherwise overlook. From insightful commentary to interviews with guests from all walks of life, Searching for Common Ground is a space for dialogue, not division. Whether discussing faith, culture, politics, or personal values, the goal is simple: to find moments of connection in unexpected places. Listeners are encouraged to be part of the conversation by suggesting future topics or guests—because finding common ground is something we can all do, together.
