The Half Hour is a current events podcast on the One Clap Speech and Debate feed designed with the intention of helping Extemp competitors (and other Speech and Debate members, as well as listening for the general public) understand the importance of political, social, or economical events on a domestic and international scale.

Conflict in Afghanistan
The United States withdrawal from Afghanistan has sparked a major bipartisan uproar. The Taliban regained control of Afghanistan faster than people had expected. In this podcast, YuYu Yuan and Spencer Travis work to break down the conflict in Afghanistan and answer questions (from both sides) to explain the issues pertaining to the United States’ withdrawal.
