Through a series of intellectually charged debates, Open to Debate brings ideas from across the political spectrum to millions of listeners on public radio, podcasts, and digital platforms. We do this free of charge because we believe a healthy democracy thrives on the balanced exchange of ideas. With the support of our members, we’ve hosted more than 800+ leading thinkers, debated more than 200+ topics, and built a widespread community of open-minded and intellectually curious listeners who prove that the demand for reasoned debate is not lost on the American public. But we know there’s more to be done.
Join our mission to bring the constructive, balanced, respectful exchanges of ideas back to the public square.
