Fighting Words with Robbie Soave Podcast

Ironically, in this day and age of media, it can often times feel like a lot gets lost in the noise. From large news corporations covering the same stories with the same bias, to foreign powers influencing social media trends and news, finding a clear voice can be hard. Robby Suave cuts through that noise and gets right down to the facts in his new podcast, Fighting Words. Listen into each episode as Robby discusses free speech in a free society, political correctness, government policy, what’s happening in the tech industry of Silicon Valley and on college campuses. And when you want to hear more from Robby in between episodes, don’t forget to follow him on Twitter @robbysoave and his work as an Associate Editor at Reason.com.

    College Campuses turned Battlegrounds: Title IV & Free Speech

    College campuses have been a hot spot for change and activism for generations, looking back at the Civil Rights protests at the University of Cincinnati in 1964, or Vietnam War protests at Kent State University which lead to the tragic death of student Jeffrey Miller. But on this premiere episode of Fighting Words, host Robby Suave takes a deep look at the more recent outcries happening around college campuses in America. Students have been protesting guest speakers or professors because of their work or comments they have made, frequently resulting in violence. This leads Robbie to ask, how can the epicenters of America’s education that are tasked with challenging students, ironically have such a problem with free speech? Robby also takes a look at Title IV on colleges, and both the good and bad that it does for students.
