Many of you remember when WPR Rebuttal first launched on April 26, 2016. That pre-recorded "press announcement" podcast was followed by WPR Rebuttal's first live podcast on April 29, 2016.
Although the two-part, two-hours-long podcasts of the early days have given-way to briefer podcasts of between 10 and 25 minutes, WPR Rebuttal continues timely discussion of the sides of the story and unconventional perspectives left unexplored by other outlets.
Our focus continues to be regional news. This is reflected by the fact that this season's lineup will include episodes on Wisconsin farmers' reactions to Canadian dairy tariffs; the trade-off between restricting opioids and allowing adequate pain therapy; and an examination of not one, but several "economic impact" analyses that have been assumed "true," for lack of critical-thinking skills by those parroting those fabricated numbers.
Last but not least, WPR Rebuttal remains committed to sharing useful information that helps our audience avoid the school-to-work scams perpetuated by private and nonprofit universities alike. Don't trust a school just because it's financed -- and thereby tacitly endorsed -- by your state's Board of Regents.
They're no trustworthier than are the CEOs of big corporations; and the paucity of reliable jobs-placement data reflects their duplicity over what counts to the bottom-line-oriented student. This is why WPR Rebuttal exists: To push-back against the hegemonic narratives of those who own the media and the educational institutions!
Let's share another year together: Hear you soon on WPR Rebuttal! Call-in at (920) 477-3965 during our live shows.
