Customer Reviews
Terminology
The podcast is great, & I need it as a 1st year Debate teacher. It would be great if you could do an episode explaining the terminology one would need to know, even beyond the definition. Like “spreading” in LD, or card cutting!
Great podcast, very needed for today
Handles both side of political issues with humor and depth. Great work.
