Joe Marra (right) and Landon Reid participated in StoryCorps' and WDET's One Small Step.

One Small Step from StoryCorps is a program that brings together people from opposite ends of the political spectrum for a personal conversation. Over this past year, WDET has been collecting conversations — and the results have been fascinating.

In this section of a One Small Step conversation, Joe Marra (57) and Landon Reid (50) talk about how important their parents were to their development, the joys of both having a 5 year old and how to make some politics a win-win situation.

“When you were talking about your personal political philosophy, you said something that blew my mind, which is something that I never hear in politics, which was, ‘I changed my mind. I could be wrong.’” — Landon Reid, One Small Step participant
