Flip Side of the Coin
Flip Side of the Coin is a podcast where people can go to explore different viewpoints on many issues. We take an issue and in one episode we examine and explore one viewpoint, and then in the next episode we do the same for the other side of the issue. Our goal is to give our listeners a place where they can explore differing viewpoints and their merits without feeling the need to defend themselves or argue back. Join us as we explore political and social issues, and even break down some issues that are just for fun, as we examine how others view the world in Flip Side of the Coin.

In Support of the Department of Education
The Department of Education, as we know it today, was founded by Jimmy Carter in 1980, and has been a topic of debate ever since. Critics argue that it is federal overreach and adds to government bureaucracy, while supporters argue that the Department of Education provides important support necessary to help schools in need.
We look at some of the reasons supporters argue in favor of the Department of Education. We look at how it consolidates government educational support and how it helps reduce educational disparity between schools in wealthier communities and schools in more economically challenged areas, with the goal of ensuring that every American student has access to a quality education.
