Ivory Tower is a new show that will most likely be held on Friday afternoons at 2 PM CST and will be cohosted by Applejack, Twilight Sparkle, and me. The goal of this show is to serve as a more serious place for discussing topics which may be sensitive or controversial (and likely has no or only a tangential relation to ponies). That being said, this show is still for you, the listeners. So, what would you like us to discuss? It seems unlikely that we’ll shy away from a suggestion unless we feel that it isn’t relevant, so don’t worry about crossing a line (unless that line is related more to obscenity than political correctness).
Depending on the liveliness of our discussion, we may talk about a few topics per show or maybe even just one if it holds our attention well enough. As always, we will be monitoring the shoutbox for your input on these matters as well.
So leave a comment with any questions that you may have or any topics that you’d like for us to discuss and one of us will do our best to get you an answer!

Addendum: In case you're curious about what we've already discussed or what we have planned for the upcoming week, feel free to check back here. I will try to keep it updated weekly.
