All Sides with Ann Fisher is a two-hour, daily public-affairs talk show designed to – over time – touch upon all sides of the issues and events that shape life in central Ohio. Listeners participate via telephone, e-mail, Twitter and text messaging, to add to the conversations. As always at WOSU, the coverage is fair and balanced with a civil tone.
Topics are driven by the top news stories of the day – local, regional, national and international -- and the trends in what we read and what we like to eat, where we worship and play, and more. Local issues and news-related topics tend to dominate the first hour with larger issues and authors saved for the second.
MONDAY 2/22
10:00 AM - Obama and theCivil Rights Movement In celebration of Black History Month, how the election of President Barack Obama had its roots in the civil rights eram, and a look one year later, what does the election of the first black President mean for the future of the civil rights movement and the lives of ordinary African Americans, with Ohio State University Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity Deputy Director Andrew Grant-Thomas, University of Florida History Professor Paul Ortiz and Miami University History Professor Nishani Frazier.
11:00 AM - Regulating Payday Lending Two points of view about legislation to regulate the payday lending industry in Ohio, with Legal Aid Society of Greater Cincinnati Consumer/Housing Managing Attorney Nick DiNardo and “Small Short-Term Consumer Loan Industry” spokesperson Jamie Fulmer, and State Representative Matt Lundy ( 57th Ohio House District ), sponsor of HB 209.
All Sides is a forum for civil conversation. We ask that our callers follow certain guidelines while participating:
Callers are welcome to call in every other week. For example, you call and get on the air on Thursday, skip the next week, and you are allowed to call the following week on Monday (or any other day that week).
We appreciate thoughtful, courteous, and civil contributions to the conversation. Our callers respect the opinions of others and engage in meaningful dialogue.
Think about what you want to say before you dial. Please be brief and express your thoughts clearly with the call screener. The same goes for email messages; the more concise the better.
Don't use a speakerphone-the sound quality is inadequate for the radio. Don't call from a cell phone WHILE DRIVING-it's dangerous for you and other motorists.
TURN OFF YOUR RADIO as soon as the screener answers the phone! The 10-second delay on the radio broadcast causes confusion for caller and screener.
Our callers are an integral part of All Sides. The show relies on a steady flow of engaged and thoughtful listeners to keep the program moving. By following these guidelines we'll be sure to hear you on the radio!
