Up For Debate episodes

  • #70 - The Best & Worst of 2016
    On this episode, we review our performances in 2016. We recap our best episodes (making our own baseball team, eating chocolate covered crickets) and our worst episodes (our failure of a board game, the time Matt fell asleep in the middle of an episode). Then we discuss what we're looking forward to in 2017 (can we really do an episode on trees?).

    On this episode we play another round of This or That, the game that makes you choose either this or that. Is Will Smith a better rapper or actor? Which would you rather win: an Oscar or the World Series? And which video game profession made less sense: Dr. Mario or tennis player Mario? You won't have any choice but to enjoy this episode of Up For Debate!

  • Bonus - Baseball: the Teams, the Stats and the Playoffs
    Recorded on October 13:
    On this special bonus mini-episode, we discuss America's pastime: baseball! We begin with the Chicago Cubs crazy history, then talk about stats (what the heck is an ERA exactly?) and then the wild card format. Is a one game wild card really that fair? And should playoffs be 5 series or 7 series? Listen as we swing for the fences (but settle for a double) on this bonus Up For Debate!

  • #62 - The Teachers of Television
    On this episode we discuss educational television programming. Did Ms Frizzle's kids actually learn anything or were they too scared to notice? Were Bill Nye's antics emblematic of the 90s? How did Reading Rainbow make books so awesome? Plus, Shaun apologizes for some incorrect comments made regarding The Office.
