35:17Now PlayingWhat does it take to moderate a debate? How do we keep conversations civil when the world feels so polarized? In celebration of our launch on Substack, moderator-in-chief John Donvan joins “Smart Girl Dumb Questions” host Nayeema Raza and Reason’s Nick Gillespie for a lively conversation on the craft of moderation and the art of asking questions that reveal rather than enrage. Featuring audience Q&A and behind-the-scenes insight, this episode offers a candid look at how meaningful dialogue is created today.
Our Guests:
John Donvan, Open to Debate's Moderator-in-Chief and Emmy award-winning journalist
Nayeema Raza, Journalist and Host of "Smart Girl Dumb Questions"
