Reporters’ Roundtable 5/25 | Millions of dollars in new revenue - but no decisions on where, or how to best use it. That's the dilemma for the Cuyahoga County Council - as casino cash starts rolling in. This week on the Reporter's Roundtable - we look at the debate in Cleveland over cashing in those chips. There's another debate in Columbus -- over the plan to reform education, starting with the Cleveland school district. But is politics about to scuttle the plans of educators?

A Military-Civilian Disconnect? | America is still at war. You might not know that as people go about their workdays, shop at the big box retailer and spend weekends catching a ball game. A small, professional military is deployed in Afghanistan. Their families live it. For most civilians, though, it's a distant concern - out of sight, out of mind. As we approach Memorial Day, let's talk on the Sound of Ideas about the growing disconnect between those who serve and the rest of us. Thursday at 9:00 a.m. | 5/24/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Transforming our Schools | A radical reconstruction of Cleveland's schools aims to properly educate kids and elevate the city. But obstacles remain for the plan even though administrators, the teachers' union and politicians from both sides of the aisle like it. Lawmakers will have to pass new state laws, get charter school advocates on board and the schools will have to solve their budget woes. Get schooled on Cleveland's education transformation plan with host Mike McIntyre Wednesday at 9 on the Sound of Ideas. | 5/23/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Cheating in Schools | Technology can enhance learning in schools, but can it enhance cheating, too? What are schools doing to make sure students are turning in their own work? And in a time when test scores are used to measure the effectiveness of educators, is the temptation too great for schools to fudge the rules? We'd love to hear your thoughts on the state of cheating in schools. Remember, no copying off of others. Tuesday at 9 on the Sound of Ideas.

Investing in Nonprofits | Non-profit organizations that rely on a good story and well-meaning efforts are bound to fail as funding becomes more scarce. So says Mario Morino, an influential philanthropist and author whose book, "Leap of Reason" seeks to change the culture of philanthropy and the non-profit organizations it supports. Non-profits should hone their long-term focus, collaborate, collect data and prove that their efforts bring results.

Discover Ohio; More People Are | Last year, Ohio set tourism records as millions of people spent $40 billion dollars riding roller coasters in Sandusky, seeing vintage military aircraft in Dayton or checking out dinosaur bones in Cleveland. Casinos promise to bring millions more this year. And the state wants to double down on marketing dollars to attract even more out-of-state visitors.

Customer Reviews
A Life Line to Life in Cleveland
The sound of ideas is one of the most well rounded discussions of life in north eastern Ohio, though the topics are not limited to the region. Dan Moulthrop is intelligent, caring and willing to get to the bottom of the issue while maintaining a balanced presentation. I used to enjoy listening to the show but have over the last few months have been unable to due so to a change in my work schedule. I am SO happy to have access to the show once again. Take a listen for yourself and be sure to catch a Thursday episode of the reporters roundtable to stay on top of all the latest local issues. Be sure to support your local NPR station.
