Welcome to Down To Debate, the podcast where we dive into the topics that ignite our curiosity and fuel our discussions. Brought to you by No Single Individual, our podcast embraces the idea that while some issues should be universally agreed upon— human rights, for example—we should have an open mind about everything else. Like should a toilet paper roll be hung with the loose end over or under? Is it really “cats rule, dogs drool”? Are pennies worth keeping? Each week we’ll be joined by guests who are randomly assigned a “side” of a seemingly mundane issue and then have to defend their position in a lively debate. Why are we doing this? Because we believe that debate is a muscle everyone should exercise. Join us as we explore diverse perspectives, challenge conventional thinking, and engage in thought-provoking conversations about a wide range of topics, from the existential to the just-for-fun.
