Every week Grant Reeher, a professor of political science and former Director of the Campbell Public Affairs Institute at Syracuse University, leads a conversation with a notable guest. Guests include people from central New York - writers, politicians, activists, public officials, and business professionals whose work affects the public life of the community - as well as nationally prominent figures visiting the region to talk about their work.
The Campbell Conversations are longer interviews that encourage the character of the interviewee to be revealed. This allows you to learn not only about the issue being discussed, but also about the person—how they got to where they are, and where they might go. Grant attempts to go beyond the usual press conference questions and sound bites.
Podcasts of the show are available via iTunes.
