IPPSR's State of the State Podcast: Preemption Laws and Legacy Costs

IPPSR is delighted to launch its first official podcast: State of the State. Issues, answers, policy and research on the hottest topics on the local, state and national stage.

In this second State of the State Podcast, guest political scientist Josh Sapotichne, director of Michigan State University's Public Policy Program, joins Matt Grossmann and Charles Ballard. Dr. Grossmann is a political scientist who directs MSU's Institute for Public Policy and Social Research. Dr. Ballard is an economics professor who directs IPPSR's State of the State Survey.

State of the State podcasters Matt Grossmann, IPPSR's Director, and Charles Ballard, director of IPPSR's State of the State Survey will talk together and share the air with frequent guests monthly. The production will be featured on radio stations on the air and over the internet, on SoundCloud, over ITunes, on Facebook, Twitter and on the IPPSR website at ippsr.msu.edu. We are also part of the Spartan Podcast and are excerpted on MSU Today on WJR. Please subscribe.
