This is a debate style show, but not so much the two shouting heads on cable TV kind. More so the type of nuanced and respectful disagreement you might have with someone at a cocktail party. The idea is to have two experts join for a moderated, fact-based disagreement. Conversations/episodes have ranged from nuclear energy, Israel/Palestine, aliens, parenting methods and the ethics of having children.

This show has really scratched so many of my curiosity itches. It’s been so much fun working on this up-and-comer of a podcast and learning about so many wide-ranging topics. With a small, dedicated team, this show is all hands on deck. I pitch episode ideas, research topics, flesh out arguments, contact and screen potential guests, story edit episodes, run recording sessions, and just help fill any gaps in a given week.

I’ve enjoyed immersing myself in complicated topics and expanding my working knowledge of these major issues!
