Doha Debates Podcast

A biweekly debate show that bridges the divide across contentious issues. Every two weeks, Doha Debates and FP Studios bring you an important and topical debate on the world’s most pressing issues. The show brings together people with starkly different opinions for an in-depth, human conversation that looks for common ground. Each show also includes young guest voices, often participants of the Doha Debates Ambassador Program, who ask insightful questions of the guests. Show hosts include Karen Given, Afia Pokua, Mariya Karimjee, Joshua Johnson and others.
