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 Xeriscaping
This week we look at some of the arguments of supporters of alternative methods of landscaping, particularly xeriscaping. Xeriscaping was coined as a term in 1981 by combining "xero" (meaning "dry") with "Landscaping", and aims to create a lush welcoming yard with minimal use of irrigation.
We look at some examples of how xeriscaping can reduce water usage, and look at some of the creative ways that designers use xeriscaping methods to enrich their property while also enriching their local environments.
