Reviews

4.6 out of 5 stars from 2.7k ratings
  • Very slanted.

    The problem with this show is the selection of debaters. Instead of modeling civil discourse between two very different points of view (say right v. Left) they consistently choose debaters who are left vs. far left. A great example is the gender pay gap episode. Instead of having the hard debate about whether it exists (which many don’t think it does), they choose two who agree that it exists but disagree on policy. more

  • A standard bearer of civil discourse

    I do appreciate the purpose of this show. It models the seemingly lost art of disagreeing without demonizing or demeaning. I especially enjoyed listening to the debate about color blindness between Jamelle Bouie and Coleman Hughes. Thank you so much for this work.

  • Open To Debate Podcast

    I enjoyed both sides of the debate. 9/29/2023 Cultural Exchange is important. The 'but' analogy was horrific but funny at 27:32 minutes into the show, and I felt embarrassed for them. Funny. Dated 9/29/2023 more

  • Jan 19th episode is great!

    Loved Nayeema Raza's moderation on the debate on the American dream! She was excellent. Refreshing to hear some thought provoking debate instead of the echo chambers we've gotten used to.

  • What happened

    Really enjoyed intelligence squared a few years ago and came back to start listening again - only to find a new title and format? Really confused how any of this is an improvement; miss the old show.
