Should Students Speak about Controversy in the Public Speaking Class?

I was asked by the people at Power of Public Speaking if I would like to be a guest host on their POPs Community podcast. In thinking about what to talk about for 45 minutes or so, I thought a great topic would be why we are obligated to allow students to speak about very real, very immediate controversies in the world.

Here’s the podcast. I think it went really well and I had a great time. Makes me think I should do some solo In the Bin episodes once in a while. Might be a good way to mix up the modality of shared ideas.

As always let me know your thoughts, questions, comments, and of course opposition to my ideas in the comments here or over in the POPs Community. Would love to hear what you have to say.
