Every episode we blast anyone who gets in our way. We bring critical thinking, skepticism, and irreverence to any topic that makes the news, makes it big, or makes us mad. It’s skeptical, it’s political and there is no welcome mat.

In this podcast, I briefly examine marginalized groups within the context of current and past America to clarify why affirmative action exists, discuss the history of affirmative action and its history in the Supreme Court, as well as touch on some of the controversies surrounding the topic. In addition, I analyze and consider how successful affirmative action is in making up for past discrimination and helping underrepresented individuals by weighing in on the opinions of Mauricio Sosa, Edward Stern, and Erin Shea, three fellow Beloit College students who answer questions such as: Is affirmative action effective in assisting women and ethnic minorities? Can it be improved? Is there a more effective method to address inequalities?
