Live interactive video platform 2WAY adds new original shows

Posted

2WAY, the interactive live video platform devoted to unique conversations, unbiased discourse and open debate, today announced a significant expansion of its programming slate with the launch of three new shows: “The Group Chat,” “Real America with Bridget Phetasy” and “Random Offense with Ethan Strauss.” These new programs underscore that 2WAY is a growing home for dynamic conversations across a range of topics such as politics, culture and sports.

“The launch of three new programs marks a major milestone as we continue to build our community,” says Mark Halperin, editor-in-chief of 2WAY. “Each of these shows speaks to a different part of the American experience, but all are built on the same foundation of authentic, intelligent and civil conversations that invite the audience in. And more verticals and topics are on the way.”

Premiering on Wednesday, May 21, at 7 p.m. EDT, “Real America with Bridget Phetasy” will spotlight the lives of everyday people, exploring the nuanced middle ground where most Americans reside. Drawing on her years as a waitress and her hilarious, authentic style, she will uncover what unites us, motivates us and shapes our shared stories. New episodes will air every Wednesday on the 2WAY platform and the Real America YouTube channel. 

Debuting Thursday, May 22, at 6 p.m. EDT on a special edition of 2WAY TONIGHT, “The Group Chat,” features a dynamic political panel, moderated by Batya Ungar-Sargon, that includes Nina Turner, Robby Soave, Emma-Jo Morris and Dan Turrentine. Bringing together five of America’s most interesting voices from across the political spectrum, “The Group Chat” offers unfiltered conversations on the week’s biggest political stories. The program will feature live audience participation, grounded in the 2WAY ethos of “peace, love and understanding.” Following its special debut on 2WAY TONIGHT, the program will then return on Thursday, May 29, at 4 p.m. EDT with new episodes airing live every Thursday. 

Rounding out the new slate is journalist Ethan Strauss, who’ll bring his signature insight and sharp commentary to “Random Offense with Ethan Strauss,” exploring the intersection of sports, culture and media. With new format elements like video messages, live moderated chat and audience “super chats,” the series invites open conversations with Strauss and the 2WAY audience. The first episode premieres on Friday, May 23, at 4 p.m. EDT with new episodes every Friday on the 2WAY platform and the Random Offense YouTube channel.

As 2WAY continues its rapid growth since its launch in October 2024, additional new shows in development include planned programs on cancer, dogs, personal finance and mental health. 

These new programs join 2WAY’s robust lineup, which includes “The Morning Meeting,” “Citizen McCain,” “The Moynihan Report” and “2WAY Tonight.”
