<![CDATA[The Viral Candidate]]> http://www.allysonroberson.com A podcast about positive, plausible solutions based on inspiration from the ideas of others. This is a nonpartisan, practical look at how we can change our actions and make a difference that will foster genuine forward progress.

The theory that functions as the foundation of this podcast is that the birth of industrialization and public education created the problems we now experience, and how the fields of study that dominate this situation (education and economics) are also the source of the solutions.

This is the introduction to the theory that drives The Viral Candidate's platform and worldview. This is the first unscripted episode. The intention is to move beyond explaining the sources of my theory (though those episodes will still be coming) to sharing how we got to our modern dystopia and how we can get out of it. The answers will surprise you, so I hope you're ready to get your mind blown.

This is the announcement that I intend to focus on how we can solve problems and make the world around us a less unpleasant place. This podcast is the positive spin to contrast with my blog: The Conversation.

It is my hope that this podcast helps you think about what the problems really are and what we can do to make measurable change. I'm going to start with education and with small fixes. There are many large and controversial topics I want to cover, but that will be after my style is established and the ideas have been presented.
