Campus Carry
Student Podcasts: US Federal Government and Politics, Beloit College
12/29/16 • -1 min
by Zach Jenkins and Ethan Harycki
In our podcast Zach and I cover the topics of the new campus carry law in Texas and the cocks not glocks movement which sparked from the law passing. We will primarily be focusing on the law itself because of its large implications to the larger Texas student body while brushing up on the movement. We go over what the law entails and who is and who isn’t protected under the law. We also interviewed a political science major from our very own Beloit campus to see how she views the current law.

This thrilling podcast focuses on the Supreme Court. More specifically, we discuss major cases the Supreme Court has dealt with, and how the Supreme Court has developed into a formidable power within the American political system. Furthermore, we open our podcast up to three different Beloit College students, where we ask them about how they think the recent election and the implications it will have on the Supreme Court will affect their day-to-day lives. We also ask them and discuss between ourselves the power of the Supreme Court within the American system.

By Noritsugu Shiba
This podcast talk about racism in American politics. Racism is big issue in American Politics. The history shows us discrimination and segregation. The contemporary politics also shows the racism such as young black men’s exclusion from politics and Donald Trump’s win in the Presidential election.
I will analyze the racism in American politics with three questions. The first question is what’s the problem of racism in American history. The second question is whether contemporary politics overcomes racism. The third question is what the solution of racism might be. Through these three questions, you can understand the problem of racism lurking in American politics.

The War on Drugs and Marijuana Legalization
Student Podcasts: US Federal Government and Politics, Beloit College
12/29/16 • -1 min
By Lindsey Bogott
This podcast is about the war on drugs and the legalization of recreational marijuana in the United States, more specifically in states where it has already been legalized, and how that has affected incarceration rates for minorities. I delve in to the history of the war on drugs and bring in specific examples from the Supreme Court, podcasts, and authors. Bringing in content from California’s Proposition 64, which passed on Tuesday, November 8, 2016, I then transition into the positive and negative components of legalization of marijuana in regards of minorities, using interviews from students that come from California, Washington, and Colorado. https://johnamcmahon.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/bogott.mp3 ReferencesInfuser, Jazz. “Jazz & Hip Hop.” SoundCloud.

Climate change has been debated in the past, but not as much as it has been in recent times. Science has shown that climate change (previously known as “global warming”) is impacting the planet we inhabit; many aspects of our world are heavily affected by this, such as the environment, organisms, and economies. Josh Nelson and Jay Hoffmann bring you up to speed on climate change and what it means in terms of politics in the United States. They will discuss the opinions of both Trump and Clinton on the issue.. Guest speakers Jamison Huntley (Coach Huntley), Kyle May and Joe McKay give great conversation about the issue Climate change presents and what we need to do to solve it, and one of these speakers presents a counterargument to the others. Please listen and learn about climate change so YOU can make a positive impact.

Police Brutality
Student Podcasts: US Federal Government and Politics, Beloit College
12/29/16 • -1 min
By Lillie Herbst
This is a podcast dealing with issues of police discrimination and brutality towards people of color. I discussed with Beloit faculty members the past, present, and future events that will shape and define the police force, and the rights of the black community. I analyzed two speeches that show the history of the push towards a more equal police force, and one speech that shows what may be happening with the police force in the future. In the podcast I also talk about how long this has been an issue, and I discuss a large movement which has started to end this brutality and violence.

Student Podcasts: US Federal Government and Politics, Beloit College

By Beau Fountaine
On this riveting episode of my podcast I talk about campaign finance, focusing primarily on Citizen’s United and the fallout of that Supreme Court decision. I also explore the history of campaign finance in America from the mudslinging of the election of 1800 to the 2016 election, including a great speech from Vermont senator Bernie Sanders. I discuss possible solutions to the problems of America’s campaign finance system borrowing from Richard Hasen’s very interesting book, Plutocrats United: Campaign Money, the Supreme Court, and the Distortion of American Elections. I interviewed many of my peers and found something quite surprising.
In the spirit of liberal arts in practice I played my instruments several times for this project.

Voter ID Laws
Student Podcasts: US Federal Government and Politics, Beloit College
12/29/16 • -1 min
By Carter Skolnick and Jesse Luong
In our podcast, we examined the connections between common Republican rhetoric of voter ID, low voter turnout within the American democratic system and voter ID laws. The legitimacy of American votes has become a central issue in the 2016 election with Trump making repeated claims and accusation of widespread voter fraud. However, this is not a recent issue since, in recent years, Republicans have repeatedly pushed for more restrictions on voting while justifying these restrictions by claiming they protect against “illegal votes.” We examined these allegations of voter fraud and their credibility alongside effects of voter ID laws on voter turnout. https://johnamcmahon.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/skolnick-luong.mp3Show more best episodes
