Is Donald Trump Bad for the Republican Party?

INDUBITABLY: The Debate Podcast ·

2024/02/02

Donald Trump is almost certainly set to be the Republican nominee for President in November, but that does not mean that he is universally supported within his own party. In this episode we weigh the good odds he brings to the table of recapturing the White House against some long term concerns he poses for Republicans. With the party standing at a crossroads, is Trump the right path to follow into the future?

Israel / Hamas War Pt.2: The Power of Propaganda

INDUBITABLY: The Debate Podcast ·

2023/12/22

In part 2 of our series on the conflict between Israel and Hamas we look at how the messaging from both sides has evolved over the past couple of months, and ask exactly how effective it is in garnering support to its side. Is the world starting to experience compassion fatigue for the people whose lives are defined by this conflict? Or is our collective attention span simply not long enough to provide the support needed to solve the world’s most pressing problems.

2023/10/16

Plenty of movies and tv shows have attempted to tap into debate as a source of impassioned and quick witted speeches, but do they get it right? Debates on the screen, in politics, and in academic tournaments take a variety of forms, and have their own distinct strengths and weaknesses. We examine each of these and point out the lessons that you can learn to improve your own debating skills.

Killing for Profit: Should Criminals Make Money Off...

INDUBITABLY: The Debate Podcast ·

2023/09/20

Our society is obsessed with stories about crime, and most of the time the more heinous it is, the better. That means that there are millions of dollars to be made off of the retelling of the lives and misdeeds of criminals. Do they have a right to share their stories under free speech protections? Does that include the profit that follows? Or should a consideration of their victims prompt us to forbid such cashing in on crime?

2023/08/29

The recent fires in Maui and the continuing aftermath have brought attention to the impacts that tourism can have on popular destinations. Many local, or even national, economies can be completely dependent on the tourism industry, but how do we ensure that same dollars are not having destructive long term effects on the people, cultures and environments of fragile locales?

Generative AI: Is it the End for Human Artists?

INDUBITABLY: The Debate Podcast ·

2023/08/06

Hollywood is currently on strike, in large part over the fear actors and writers have of AI generated art. What implications does this new technology have for the creative content that we consume? Will human artists be replaced by computers in Movies? Music? Photography? And if the quality of AI generated art can compete or surpass our own capabilities, is that even a bad thing?

With the clash in Eastern Europe seemingly escalating, Indubitably asks the question: Can War Ever Be Justified?

INDUBITABLY: The Debate Podcast ·

2023/07/03

It’s no secret that many news sources suffer from bias and influence from special interests. As a result, average citizens are taking it upon themselves to report on the happenings of their communities and the world at large. How do large media corporations do at holding to their own ethical standards? And are these citizen journalists a better alternative?

What is the Meaning of Life?

INDUBITABLY: The Debate Podcast ·

2023/06/15

Indubitably tackles the greatest question of them all! In this episode we do for you what no scholar or philosopher in the history of humanity has managed to yet. We reveal the secret to the meaning of life! (Alright, not quite, but we get as close as we can.) Does life even have meaning at all? If yes, does that meaning apply to all of us universally? Is it centered around self? Or service?

A World Without Men: “Hervana?”

INDUBITABLY: The Debate Podcast ·

2023/05/30

If we had to escape Earth and flee to a new planet, but only half of the human population could go, how would we choose who to save and who we would leave behind? In an Indubitably plot twist, Josh proposes that we should sacrifice all men, to start over with a female led civilization. Would this choice save us from the sexism that exists on our planet? Or is it discriminatory in it of itself?

Vigilantes! Taking Justice Into Their Own Hands

INDUBITABLY: The Debate Podcast ·

2023/04/20

When heinous crimes go unpunished by authorities, do we just let the perpetrators get away? Or, as private citizens, do we have the right to serve as judge, jury and sometimes, executioner? While various justice systems have standardized rules for what constitutes crime and appropriate punishment, what happens if we let people decide these things for themselves?

2023/04/10

Discourse around gun control is always contentious, but rarely productive. Part of the blame lies in the failures of both sides to argue in good faith. After recent events in Tennessee, we are re-releasing this “Adjudication” episode from our archives, where, rather than present arguments on a topic, we judge the arguments that are already commonly forwarded to either uphold or erode the right to bear arms.

Senior Citizens are the largest and most active voting block in the US.

INDUBITABLY: The Debate Podcast ·

2023/03/27

Quiet Quitting refers to doing the minimum requirements of one’s job and putting in no more time, effort, or enthusiasm than absolutely necessary. Is this a fair response to employers placing ever increasing burdens on their workers? Or are quiet quitters being unfair to their companies, coworkers, or even themselves?
