Dialogue Media Group brings together the talent behind over 100 critically acclaimed and award-winning Socratic Dialogue programs on PBS, produced through DMG or our predecessor organization, the Fred Friendly Seminars.

We are masters of the Socratic Dialogue format, using extensive research to craft hypothetical scenarios with choices that participants must work through together. The result is spontaneous role-play around tough, real-world choices. The audience is drawn into the experience, emotionally and intellectually, as the story creates a link between abstract issues and concrete, dramatic experiences.

A global pandemic. The overruling of Roe v. Wade. Judicial ethics. Terrorism. A mental health crisis.

We have been using scenarios to make leaders and viewers think about these challenges years before they were in the headlines — and changing our lives.
