On the Air, March 25 edition

Winter is giving us one last smack in the face, just so we know who's boss. But not even that will stand between us and the microphones at WFTR for our biweekly Radio Forum! Coach James Taafel, Ben Schoonover, Jon Pederson, Paige Hollis, Maddi Orem, and Team Captain Micah Peregrino braved the blizzard and made it to the studio. Internet integrity, government surveillance, and other items of interest were thoroughly discussed. Here's the link to the podcast: https://archive.org/details/20140325RMA

On the Air, March 11, 2014


What should we do, or can we do, about the Ukraine and Crimea? In the first half hour of the R-MA Speech and Debate Team's Radio Forum, Ben Schoonover, Jon Pedersen and Micah Peregrino discussed the foreign policy implications while coach J...ames Taafel and host Doug Pratt tried to work in "Crimea river." In the second segment the New York mayor's overt attack on successful charter schools was discussed in the general atmosphere of the school choice debate and the reaction against Common Core. In spite of suffering through the current SAT tests, our group is not impressed with the coming changes to the SAT. Hear it all on our podcast (link below) and listen to us again on Tuesday March 25 at 6 pm on good old faithful WFTR.
