The City Club Forum

The City Club of Cleveland firmly believes in the free expression of all ideas and the benefits of an open exchange. It is nonpartisan and does not take positions on issues. All speakers must answer unfiltered, unrehearsed questions directly from the audience.

In partnership with The City Club of Cleveland, ideastream broadcasts Friday Forums, panel discussions, debates and other programs on WKSU, WCLV, WVIZ and The Ohio Channel, and archives them on the web.
