BIG IDEAS. SMART CONVERSATION.

Munk Dialogues

The Munk Dialogues are longform interviews with some of the world’s sharpest minds and brightest thinkers. The goal of each Dialogue is to go beyond the headlines and talking points that dominate mainstream media to have in-depth conversations about the issues and ideas that matter. The Dialogues are dedicated to restoring the art of civil and substantive exchange, free of spin, focused on the facts and animated by original insight.
