Tough Call: A Mediation Podcast
Tough Call: A Mediation Podcast invites the general public to look at conflict resolution creatively, legally, and with humor. Conflict is inevitable, but how we resolve it matters. In this podcast, we examine stories and talk to experts about the different ways we handle strife and discord: at home, at work, internally and externally. We look at how art, media, legal cases, and different cultures view and resolve arguments. Each week, listeners can contribute stories or engage in the topics CT and Dale review to make the Tough Calls more manageable through a mediation lens. This podcast is sponsored by ERB Legal LLP, and is hosted on their website: www.erblawservices.com. Subscribe and listen for access to expert advice, resources, and delightful reframing of media.

Where Mediation and Inspiration meet
We love peace... so why is it boring? People love to gather around conflict: a fire, a car wreck, a bar fight, a courtroom drama. It can be exciting and also very stressful - and the fallout can be deadly. How can we work towards dispute resolution?
Each week CT Ehler (a Mediator), and her co-host Dale Sheldon (not a Mediator) come together to discuss different types of conflict: in film, social issues, legal cases, advice columns and more. Guests join some times as well to lend their perspective and share their experience. Tune in and share.
