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.

Against Boycotts
Today we are talking about boycotts! Boycotts are a form of activism where consumers refuse to do business with an organization in an effort to pressure that organization to change their practices or policy. Some argue that boycotts are an effect and simple means of creating financial pressure on an organization, while others argue that they are not as effective as their organizers may hope.
We look at the argument against boycotts, and some of the challenges they face. We look at a couple real-world examples of boycotts that failed and explore what led to them not accomplishing their goals.
