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 Favor of De-Extinction
Recently you may have heard stories in the news around newly birthed pups that are modern-day dire wolves, a species of canine that went extinct around 10,000 years ago. You also may have heard about efforts to bring back woolly mammoths who also went extinct several thousand years ago.
We explore the topic of de-extinction projects like these. We look at some of the reasons that supporters argue in favor of these projects, especially when they involve species that have gone extinct due to human activity. We also look at how the technology used in these projects can be used to help repopulate species that are endangered and how they can help revitalize these vulnerable populations.
