Some light topics like Abortion, euthanasia and vivisection could be interesting! |

I came here today when I noticed that your former podcast appears to be dead (last episode Oct.11). I've been looking around for a new podcast version of your program. With all these changes, is that now gone?
Say it ain't so, say it ain't so!

How about a "next President" debate, with an advocate each for Obama, Clinton, McCain or whoever. Also it would be good to hear a debate between aggressive atheism of the Harris/Dawkins type and more passive, open-to-religious-ideas atheism of the Bob Price type. |

I'd say a hot issue right now is the sudden shift in power on Capital Hill. What must congress do to avoid repeating the same thing in 08. |

I would love to see veganism or vegetarianism as a debate topic. I would be willing to participate as well. |

I'd really like to hear conspiracy theorists and people that don't believe in conspiracy debate. |

I'd like to hear a libertarian view/debate on crime and punishment and social welfare Vs State welfare programmes via taxation etc. It could also cover things like the minimum wage, health care and how to disseminate public policy in non-statist Vs state systems.
may I suggest someone like Stefan Molyneux, or Franc Tremblay Vs a Democrat or a socialist (can't think who at the moment). |

Another idea. I'd like to see a moral relitvist debate someone like Alanzo Fyfe.
I'd also like to see a theist in this... maybe a three-way debate? I'd love to see a theist respond to the argument that theistic morality doesn't escape relitivism. |

Okay, another one. I'd like to see theists of opposing views debate each other.
Two theists of opposing views who both use the cosmological argument, for example, would be very interesting.
Or different christian sects on the issues seperating their sects.
Seeing a mormon, scientologist, or other "fringe" religions defend their faith would be interesting as well. |

I saw
this article
, and was wondering if the "life comes from space" scientists and those discussing a more "traditional" standpoint would make for a good debate. Although it might get bogged down in technical jargon or somthing. I don't know, just an idea I had. |

i think someone familiar with the documentary hypothesis would be great.especially someone like richard elliot friedman>>>>documentary hypothesis: that the Five Books of Moses (the Torah) represent a combination of documents from different sources rather than a single text authored by one individual.

I have a few ideas. A show on Marxism would be cool. Also, perhaps a show between two christians. Have a traditional hell-fire christian stand off against a christian universalist. And maybe have a show with some new-ager. Just some ideas for some different things. |
