About the show

Reuniting the world,one conversation at a time.

The Reset Talk Show is a live, weekly, multidisciplinary conversation on the issues shaping our lives, from City Hall to the Caribbean.

Our story

Born in a pandemic. Built on conversation.

When the world shut down, J.R. Giddings opened a conversation. What began as a way to keep people connected and informed during the pandemic grew into a weekly gathering place: a live table where elected officials, clergy, doctors, strategists, entrepreneurs and everyday New Yorkers talk honestly about the issues that matter.

Six seasons and more than 300 episodes later, The Reset Talk Show is still live every Wednesday, still unscripted, and still committed to the idea that people with different views can learn from one another.

InformNews analysis that explains what's happening and why it matters.
EducateHealth, policy and community resources in plain language.
UniteFaith, cultures and politics at one respectful table.
InspireStories and leaders that move communities to act.
