There are 538 episodes in the Debate topic.

These are the latest episodes from the Debate topic added to soundcarrot, but be careful, many of these are serialised shows so jumping in at episode 10, for example, could confuse matters.

We'd recommend starting with the first episode of your show of choice, and if you like it, listening from there.

Should you eat your pet?
18:31 | June 22nd, 2016

Unless you’re a vegetarian, there are some animals you probably eat regularly.  But how would you cope if your next dinner was some stir-fried dog?  Why is it okay to eat a baby cow (veal) or sheep (lamb) and not a cute little puppy?  Are our ideas about eating animals a bit of a mess?  And does this matter?

Is Dumbledore as great as he seems?
22:19 | June 22nd, 2016

He is wise and old and learned and kind, but the Principal of Hogwarts is not perfect.  He deceives, he holds back really important information about issues of life and death, and is willing to sacrifice Harry Potter for the good of the many, leading him (as Professor Snape says) “like a pig to slaughter”.  So, is Dumbledore an ethical person?  How flawed are we allowed to be and still be counted as “good”?

Should you move to Mars?
21:18 | June 22nd, 2016

There are 1,000 people currently shortlisted for the trip of a lifetime, from which they will never return!  They want to be the first stage in the human habitation of the red planet.  But do humans have a right to inhabit other planets, and which humans specifically?  Would colonizing Mars be a chance to create a better world from scratch, or will it become an environmental and ethical nightmare?  Would you want to go?

Is it ever okay to lie?
19:33 | June 22nd, 2016

Kind lies. White lies. Little lies. We take a trip to the fun park to look at all sorts of lies we tell for all sorts of reasons. Like what if your parent asks you to pretend to be younger than you are to get a cheaper entry fee? What’s the right thing to do? Amidst the rides and games, junk food and excitement, we explore a few stories about lying, a subject which has divided some of the greatest thinkers in history.

Children under the microscope — the ethics of science
19:10 | June 22nd, 2016

In the 1950s, a group of young boys took part in a now famous experiment to find out how easy it would be to turn two groups of children into enemies. The boys didn’t know they were in a scientific study, and many later regretted the things they did to each other. Is the knowledge we might get from such an experiment worth the pain it might cause to get it?

Can competitive sport be truly fair?
18:19 | March 28th, 2016

Do coaches, equipment and healthy food make for a level playing field?

Is it ever okay to fight back against a bully?
18:18 | March 27th, 2016

Is the victim blameless if they become aggressor?

Should chimps have the same rights as kids?
17:54 | March 26th, 2016

Perhaps the line between humans and other animals is more blurred that you’d think.
