Intelligence Squared

You should be listening to Intelligence Squared. I listen in the audio podcast format during my exercise routine. A motion is stated, and 2 people argue for it while 2 people argue against it. The audience is polled before and after the debate, and the team that shifts the greatest number to their side wins the contest. Just got done listening to the debate on the topic “Big Government is Stifling the American Spirit.” Last week I listened to two sides debate “Islam is a Religion of Peace.” Surprisingly, the New York audience agreed with the first and disagreed with the second.
