ABOUT THE SHOW

America is more divided than ever—but it doesn’t have to be. Open to Debate brings multiple perspectives together for real debates that are structured, respectful, clever, provocative, and fact driven. We examine the issues of the day with influential thinkers to build a stronger, more united democracy through the civil exchange of ideas. Be open-minded. Be curious. Be ready to listen. Join us in being Open to Debate.
