Fault Lines - Podcast & Newsletter
Fault Lines is a podcast and newsletter exploring how trust is built, broken, and rebuilt across organizations, institutions, and public life. Hosted by Richard Roman, Ph.D./MPP candidate, it's designed for practitioners who want more than theory. They want to know what to do on Monday morning.
The Podcast
Each episode features conversations with researchers, practitioners, and leaders who are doing the work of building trust in complex systems. Episodes follow a structured arc (from diagnosis to intervention to reality check) and close with The Monday Brief: one question to ask yourself, one question to ask your team, and one thing to change this week.
