Alex Kopytko is a ”radical centrist” that wants to understand the extremes. He has worked in politics and has studied public policy and political science. Alex argues that centrism is less about being a contrarian, it is about being able to change your mind and embrace an openness to new ideas. He is concerned about where the United States is headed and through conversations with people from all sides of the political spectrum, he wants to know how Americans can limit the tribalism that is flourishing. As someone that dances along the center-right of the political spectrum, Alex thinks the country needs to come together and talk to one another before it could be too late. This podcast covers domestic politics, as well as political philosophy, and international issues.

In this episode of Centered From Reality, host Alex Kopetko is joined by recurring guest Cole Costello, future historian and PhD candidate out of Montana, to break down the internet backlash surrounding Christopher Nolan’s upcoming adaptation of The Odyssey. While both agree that the “woke” outrage over casting and historical accuracy is mostly overblown, Alex and Cole do find themselves increasingly confused by the movie’s bizarre, focus-group-feeling cast lineup — especially when compared to older epics like Troy. The conversation expands into Hollywood trends, modern horror movies, strange music rabbit holes, and an extended ranking of their favorite Stephen King books.
