Season Three of You Might Be Right builds on the show’s commitment to modeling civil conversations by taking on timely topics from affirmative action to AI. The season opens with two high-profile secretaries of state from different parties – Brad Raffensperger (R) of Georgia, and Jocelyn Benson (D) of Michigan – discussing one of the Country’s top issues, election security. Hosts and former Tennessee Governors Phil Bredesen and Bill Haslam later travel to Knoxville to record a live episode on the challenges facing America’s youth, modeling, along with their expert guests throughout the season, the ability to discuss difficult issues with humility and respect for alternative points of view.
