About the Show

Confirmation attempts to have an honorable dialogue, real and imagined, with extremist thinking and the toughest political issues of our time. Set in an arena-style ring, a series of conversations between Thorpe and a British activist from the extreme right unfold; tackling frustrations that happen within political discourse and the phenomenon of “Confirmation Bias”.

Confirmation challenges notions of what it means to be open minded and asks whether any of us are really listening to the other side of an argument. The effects of confirmation bias is often stronger for emotionally charged issues and for deeply entrenched beliefs, an area which Thorpe and Chavkin are not afraid to tread.
