I'd like Stef to consider doing an interview with commentator, Jan Helfeld. If you haven't seen Jan's youtube videos, you're missing out on some of the best "gotcha" moments through Jan's "Socratic interviewing" with regular joes, political "celebrities", and big-wig pundits in the political media scene today. His style is seemingly nonthreatening and bumbling and imprecise, until he finally articulates the interviewees own obvious cognitive dissonance trap that they themselves have woven themselves into, often times reducing them to embarrassed little shreds of humiliated (and angry) little sophists. Here's a classic with a very angry Nancy threatening to call security on Jan's ass. Here is Jan's website: http://janhelfeld.com/ EDIT: After posting and before moderation, I remembered watching the minarchist/anarchist debate years ago. I still think he has some interesting posts, even if he's not so eloquent and he's worth having on to introduce his work to new listeners, in my view.

Matt Dillahunty has been doing some awesome work on rebutting theist arguments for the existence of deities on his youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/SansDeity/videos?view=0&sort=dd&shelf_id=0 If you're not already familiar with Matt, he is the regular host of the The Atheist Experience and the NonProphets, and recently made the decision to work as a full-time counter-apologist making videos, and traveling and debating theists. You can support his work here: http://www.patreon.com/AtheistDebates I would like discussion to center around debating techniques and tactics -- efficient use of arguments, common traps and dead ends, what to listen for from your opponent, etc. Check out his apologetics/counter-apologetics wiki at http://www.ironchariots.org
