Any chance of a podcast of the debate will be made available?
Someone should take credit here for the photos! And mention that the event will be recorded.
Congratulations to the Econ Society for successfully putting on this debate. Much gratitude for making it open to the public and feeding me cheese.
I was told the pre-debate liberty vs. efficiency audience vote was 42-10, while the post vote was 25-20. I've posted my amateur audio recording here. I look forward to seeing the video recording that was made. Thanks to Bryan for being a perfect gentleman and conversational companion!
It was a fun event.
From what I understand, the Econ Society did film the event and are editing it so that they can post it online.
Whats up, This is a wonderful summation, I located your blog checking google for any similar subject and observed this. I couldnt find as well significantly other tips and information on this posting, so it was fantastic to discover this one. I will almost certainly be returning to think about a number of other articles which you have written another time.
