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.

11:00 AM - School Nutrition Efforts to address the childhood obesity epidemic in Ohio by providing healthier options in school foods and beverage vending machines, including the 2010 Healthy Choices for Healthy Children Act, nutrition programs in big-city schools, and innovative efforts to replace processed and packaged ingredients with local foods, with Granville High School Executive Chef Greg Enslen, Local Matters Public Policy and Community Relations Director Noreen Warnock, Cleveland Metropolitan School District Food and Child Nutrition Services Executive Director Regis Balaban, and State Representative John Patrick Carney (22nd Ohio House District).
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!
