About the Show

The Bent Independent

The Bent Independent is a weekly podcast for logical, pragmatic people who are tired of the noise around the subjects everyone is talking about. Each episode takes on two or three topics from the news and culture, skips the team-picking, and looks for practical solutions worth considering. Full episodes are also on YouTube. Less about who's right. More about what works.

Hosted by Shawn Harwell, Host & Executive Producer.
