Every week, the intellectual arena heats up as Gary Stocker and Joseph Pellerito, Jr. lock verbal horns in no-holds-barred and entertaining debate about the most recent and the most pressing issues in American higher education.  Forget dated textbooks, old blogs, and snoozy lectures -- this is a fast-paced, witty brawl of ideas that will leave you informed, intrigued, and maybe even entertained.

Each episode, we'll take on a set of topics and recent college news stories examining it from our different perspectives. Whether it's the role of technology in the classroom, the value of liberal arts education, or the ongoing trend of college finances and closures – we’ll provide you with a comprehensive and balanced view. 

We believe that the best way to understand the complexities of higher education is by engaging in thoughtful and, we hope, entertaining dialogue. That's why we've designed this podcast to feature point and counter-point arguments, giving you a 360-degree view of each issue.

Whether you're a student, educator, parent, college leader or just someone curious about the future of learning, College Counterpoints is a podcast that will give you an “A” for informed and entertained.
