For years now, Hollywood has come under criticism for its lack of diversity, particularly when it comes to awards shows. Will this year be any different? Despite recent efforts to be more inclusive when it comes to the talent and stories brought to the silver screen, is greater representation automatically a good thing? How do we balance authenticity with tokenism?

Happy Valentine’s Day? Or Single’s Awareness Day?

INDUBITABLY: The Debate Podcast ·

2023/02/14

On this holiday of (corporatized?) romance, we examine the question of whether or not it is better to be single or in a relationship? Do societal expectations surrounding partnership push people into "situationships" that are unhealthy and inauthentic? What about marriage?

INDUBITABLY: The Debate Podcast ·

In 2021 the National Football League made over $17 Billion. As each of us attends games, buys jerseys and supports our teams, what kind of organization are we handing our money over to?

Virtually every system of morality constructed by any society throughout history has been based on the idea that we, as humans, possess free will. But what if that isn’t the case?

Perhaps the strongest biological urge that any species faces, and quite possibly the meaning of life itself, is procreation.

INDUBITABLY: The Debate Podcast ·

2023/01/16

Several countries around the world have very recently elected corrupt leaders: Brazil, the Philippines, (the USA?).

Police Militarization: When Security Clashes with...

INDUBITABLY: The Debate Podcast ·

2023/01/09

Police forces everywhere are looking less like the patrolmen of the past and more like a modern military unit.

The World Cup: Should FIFA and Qatar Be Shown Red Cards?

INDUBITABLY: The Debate Podcast ·

2022/12/12

With the World Cup in full swing, the drama on the field is rivaled perhaps only by the scandals that run rampant behind the scenes of football (soccer)’s organizing body.

Cultural Appropriation? Or Appreciation?

INDUBITABLY: The Debate Podcast ·

2022/11/21

What should we call it when one group of people consumes the culture of another? Is it offensive or harmful to dress as, eat like, or create art in a fashion that originates from different ethnicities or nationalities?

INDUBITABLY: The Debate Podcast ·

2022/11/11

Back in July, Twitter’s future was uncertain at best as Elon Musk was taken to court by the company as it attempted to force him to follow through with his original plans to buy the platform. Now, that takeover is complete, but the company’s future is just as uncertain as ever.
