Blind Debate Podcast

Published by Neal Kesztenbaum - Ricardo Vernaglia

  • Improv
  • Comedy

Two men ranting about random topics. We take an arbitrary topic, flip a coin and debate a side of the topic. Whoever is more convincing takes the point. Neal and Ricardo are fighting to get the "Blind Debate Cup", the highest award in the made-up debating world. Join us for some fun, light-hearted debating with special guests. Season 2 has new episodes every Friday.
