Ethically Speaking

Series produced by Dean Ritz

Weekly exploration of real world ethics

On-going weekly production for Montana Public Radio. Each episode is built around a particular ethical question, listener comments are noted, and then the comments of two ethicists are added.

The show's purpose is to stimulate a greater awareness of ethical theory and its usefulness for individuals seeking to live and promote positive ethical values.

Shows are tied to a particular date for broadcast. This is necessary because we collect anonymous comments on the how's website and incorporate them into the how.

Each new episode will be made available on Wednesday evening. Broadcasts should be scheduled between Thursday and Sunday of each week.

We cease taking comments for the then-current topic on Wednesday, early AM.
