In the country I’m from and have never left, speech and debate is not taught in schools, neither is policy. What Americans seem to be taught in Civics is barely touched on here. Instead, debate is an after school competitive “cultural” activity or club. You do it against other schools if your school can afford to travel to meets. You have a coach if your school can afford to pay one. A teacher might volunteer to coach or help you, but they have not been trained to teach or coach it. The money matters, as we’re one of the most unequal countries on Earth.

Apart from a few exceptions, debate is only accessible in English, which is the home language maybe of 1 of 4 people here. If you speak something else at home it’s TERRIFYING going up against kids from a school with native English speakers. It’s even more scary when your opponents have had regular practice and coaching because they can afford it.

Despite that, thousands of kids here do choose debate. They do it poor and scared and in their second or third language. They are so brave. Our system is underfunded and unfair and a bunch of coaches don’t get paid, it often costs them money to be able to volunteer. Too many kids don’t get the chance to debate but so many of those who do come back to volunteer in turn.

Anyway, this Saturday on Lovett Or Leave It, Jon Lovett ended his live NYC show by thanking his high school speech and debate teacher, who was in the audience. The man has worked for Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Aaron Sorkin, but this was the longest thank you I’ve heard him give in in the 7 years I’ve been listening to him.

If like me, you got to speak because people took the time to nurture you, if you came back and helped more kids learn, also like I did… well, it was a lot to hear his thanks. I don’t know anything that builds confidence like debating does. I can’t even begin to describe what it feels like to see kids get that confidence when you know how much it’s altered your life for the better.

If you are thinking about teaching or coaching those skills, please, do it. Make sure new generations get the mic. If you’re a young person thinking about debating, do it, take the mic.

Episode 592: Alison Leiby and Halle Kiefer

[Apologies for the poor audio quality on my end. I was unknowingly dealing with microphone issues.]

Ruined’s premise is simple enough. One host loves horror movies. The other can’t bring herself to watch them. She does, however, want to know everything about what she’s missing out on. 

Good podcasts are rarely so simple, of course. The Crooked Media program is as much a meditation on friendship and society as genre films.

When not podcasting, Alison Leiby is a standup comedian, whose has performed her one-woman show, "Oh God, A Show About Abortion” off-Broadway and various East Coast cities.

Halle Kiefer is a television writer and blogger for New York Magazine’s Vulture.

Who To Watch When The Political World Seems Too Much

#WhoToWatch #NewsJunkieResources

I’ve not written, and barely read a word of anything, anywhere. Not even this new ebook I bought a few weeks back. All hot to trot to dive in to this fantastic book by Egyptian specialist Dr. Kara Cooney, The Good Kings: Absolute Power in Ancient Egypt and the Modern World. Saw her interviewed on this YouTube channel I follow, MythVision, and was intrigued. I know, maybe not everyones cup’a, but…

Sharing because I’m glad I listened to this today! I always learn something new from this podcast and I appreciated the discussion about how peoples’ perceptions of the GOP are often way off from the reality - in this case, in terms of how much money each party has on hand going into 2024. Plus some more interesting stories you probably didn’t hear this week.

I’ve found donating to be very cathartic after I start spiraling while reading the endless tragic news about trigger laws and even worse laws the GOP is proposing. Linking a good source here so you can feel a little better about your spiral too.

“Pod Save America” ’s Jon Lovett on Trump: “The Threat of Jail Time Sharpens the Mind”

"Jon Lovett and his co-hosts have gathered millions of politically engaged listeners—“nerds,” Lovett calls them—to “Pod Save America,” “Lovett or Leave It,” and other podcasts. But Lovett is more worried about voters who no longer get a steady stream of reliable political coverage at all, as local news outlets wither and platforms like Facebook downplay the sharing of news. “The vast majority of people do not know about Joe Biden’s accomplishments,” he says. “When they say to a pollster that this is not someone they view as being up to the job, they’re not . . . understanding how he performed in the job so far.” Lovett shares the widespread concerns about Biden’s apparent aging, but notes that his performance remains effective, whereas, “in Trump, the reverse: he is more energetic—I think the threat of federal jail time sharpens the mind!—but by all accounts is emotionally, psychologically, and mentally not up to the job.”
