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.

You Can Separate the Art from the Artist
We continue our conversation around art and whether or not you can separate art from the artist. This week we take the position that you can separate art from the artist and look at some of the logic behind the position.
We explore the concept that literary critic, Rowland Barthes argues in his essay "The Death of the Author" in which he argues that once a piece of art is created, the ownership of assigning meaning to it is released from the author and belongs to the reader, or the audience.
