Podcast of our Election Day show on WFTR

Our November 4 show on WFTR was a lively one. In honor of election day we spent the first half hour discussing voted fraud and vting trends in general, led by Jon Pedersen. In the second half hour Maddi Orem, by far the most mellifluous voice ever to grace our show, led a discussion on euthanasia and assisted suicide. We were ably assisted by Ben Schoonover, new team member Roop Atwal, and Coach James Taafel. https://archive.org/details/20141104RMA

Election edition!

We'll be discussing the election for the first half of the show; our show prep session is going strong. The kids want to do a different topic for the second half, probably assisted suicide. Tune us in on WFTR at 6pm tonight! If you haven't voted yet, listen to us in your car on the way to the polls!

First WFTR Show of the school year!

We're back, with new and old Debaters and the same familiar attitude. For some unknown reason, WFTR-AM has allowed us to perpetrate this live panel discussion once again. The schedule this year is every other Tuesday night, at 6 pm.

This week Coach James Taafel was joined by new Team Captain John Pederson, members Maddi Orem, John Camarella, and Ben Schoonover, and newbies Tia Johnston and Natalie Pendie. We beat several topics to death including the current sort-of war in the Middle East.

WFTR has hosted the RMA Debate Team for over 12 years now. Most of those programs are archived and can be found by searching from any of the podcast links here. I'm trying to gather them up into some semblance of order. Meanwhile, if you want to get in on a little pre-show banter and show prep, feel free to join our page on Facebook, https://www.facebook.com/pages/RMA-Debate/275670899259

We finished on a strong note, with two alumni special guests! Valerie Pratt '11 and Jackson McGraw '12 were debate champions as a team and separately. Val had five first places, and Jackson went to Nationals his senior year. They discuss college, and then our current crew takes over. Graduating Team Captain Micah Peregrino is headed for George Washington University. John Pedersen, Madeline Orem and John  Camarella will be back in the fall.
