The State of the State Podcast discusses issues, questions, answers, policy and research on the hottest topics on the local, state and national stage. State of the State podcasters IPPSR Director Matt Grossmann, Associate Director Arnold Weinfeld, Charles Ballard, Director of IPPSR's State of the State Survey, talk together and share the air with frequent guests monthly.
The production is featured on radio stations on the air and over the internet, on SoundCloud at http://soundcloud.com/stateofthestatepodcast, over ITunes, on Facebook, Twitter and on the IPPSR website at ippsr.msu.edu. On the MSU campus, IPPSR specializes in policy education, leadership training and survey research in MSU's College of Social Science. We are the home of the Michigan Political Leadership Program, the Office for Survey Research, State of the State Survey, Legislative Leadership Program, Rosenthal Legislative Internship Program, more than 60 affiliate faculty members, student policy fellows and major research databases on topics of interest to academic researchers, legislators, policy makers, elected leaders and journalists around the world.
November's State of the State Podcast is very timely. Is Michigan on the verge of a recession? Is the Midwest taking part in the nation's job growth? And how will this translate to the November 2020 election and term limits? That takes us to Director Grossmann's latest book, Red State Blues. The book's on sale now and garnering attention from political scientists, national media, local media, podcasts and opinion writers across the country. In this podcast, Grossmann talks about the research behind the book and how the public is responding to conservative policy reforms across the country.
IPPSR thanks MSU's University Communications, MSU Director of Public Relations Jennifer Davis, Producer Russ White of MSU Advancement Marketing and Communications, and all those who support the efforts necessary to make this production possible.
