Question the Authorities
Live interviews of Ohio State's authorities on current economic, business and policy issues. OSU’s Department of Agricultural, Environmental, and Development Economics sponsors this series of short interviews on the stage beside the Leaper Antique Building in Alumni Park on Friday Avenue. Stan Ernst leads the discussion, then opens things up for audience questions – your chance to question the authorities.
Each day of the Review, you’ll hear about timely topics – everything from current market behavior, marketing and economic performance, to energy economics, trade policy and new legal questions for rural America. Join the host in trying to stump the authorities with your toughest questions. This projected schedule is subject to change. Check the signboard along Friday Ave. for daily lineups.
