Introducing Intelligence Squared US
I am so excited to share with you Intelligence Squared US, America’s leading platform for fair and balanced debate. I am a huge fan of their work, and have been on the show many times. They always have interesting, meaningful, rigorous discussions about tough subjects. It’s a debate series, and they pull together the world’s top thinkers on each topic to compare and contrast both sides of an issue. The discussions are impartial, informative, and importantly, civil. They’re truly doing great stuff over at Intelligence Squared, bringing reason to controversial topics, and navigating them superbly. I always learn something, whether I’m listening or participating in one of the debates.
It’s a terrific series, an important nonprofit project which the country needs now more than ever, and you should subscribe now. Coming up now, an episode from Intelligence Squared, Is Nationalism a Force For Good? Have a listen. -- Andrew
