Lost Debate

Ravi Is the mind behind the excellent show but the privileged Rikki is in La La Land

As a Canadian listener, many of the topics covered in this show point out just how different our systems and policies are - politics, education, healthcare, etc. It’s nice to hear from informed and relatively level headed hosts and guests, usually without significantly bias lens and/or objectives. What we consume in the media is so often telling the perspectives that are from one side or the other. That said, the show has drifted a bit over the past 12 months from a format that contains discussions with debate to more interviews and information. I miss hearing informed and civilized debate - please don’t lose that initial fundamental element of this pod!

I unfollowed this show after listening to the most recent recent episode on Ravi’s “MAGA father”. The contempt and arrogance was palpable, and it struck me that some on the left of the political spectrum are completely blind to the humanity of what they would consider to be “right wing” individuals, even referring to them as being members of some sort of “cult“. The bias was stunning, and my only advice would be to get more toward the middle.

If you can get past Rikki’s inconsistent views and often frustratingly privileged takes , the topics are interesting and presented in a balanced manner
