Programming

The Cascade PBS Ideas Festival offers a program that provides a spectrum of viewpoints, experiences and affiliations, and welcomes members of many communities. As a public media organization, we are responsible to act as a neutral mediator. We believe that the best way to bridge our divides is to hear from people with whom we might disagree, and to ask each other hard questions.
