This short podcast is for anybody who wants to know how to develop an argument. If you make claims you must have evidence to justify them. Conclusions drawn need to weigh up the evidence for and against the proposition which is the premise of your argument. We may use logic to do so. Remember statements can be logical but false as well as true. So you need to be critical when you listen to arguments. For example you may here politicians make claims but before you accept their argument you should weigh up the evidence they provide, if any. Sceptical is a good starting point when you listen to any argument.
