Welcome back to The Stacks, the podcast where we believe information is power, misinformation is annoying, and arguing about politics is best done without throwing chairs.

I'm Gwen, your friendly Techy Librarian, and today I'm stepping away from my library desk and into the moderator's chair.

We've got artificial intelligence regulations, tariffs and the economy, and college affordability to discuss. Joining me today are Kim, a 19-year-old college student from the Bay Area and Tyler, a Texas Republican. We debate the issues, but respectfully. No insults, no talking over each other, and no claiming that your political opponents are secretly plotting to destroy civilization.
