Let's Just Talk with Hammi is a talk show designed to bring nuance and complexity to public discourse. We do this by engaging scholars, and experts from across disciplines and institutions in conversation with one another to offer their perspectives on the issues that truly matter.
The show has various segments and editions that caters to different audiences. The regular programming hosted by Hammi, engages faculty and experts in conversation with one another to address difficult and complex topics.
We have our Art and Soul Edition co-hosted by our correspondents, guest-stars, and Hammi. This edition showcases upcoming artist (Musicians, Poets, Rappers, Visual Artist, etc…). On this segment you can expect fun and dynamic late night talk show style performances and conversations.
Lastly, our student segment engages students with different point of views in conversation with one another in the spirit of dialogue and learning.
