The Enthymeme - what is it and how can it help you?
In every argument there are hidden premises as well as stated ones; sometimes revealing that hidden premise can help you expose a weakness in your opponent's case.
What are fallacies, how do you spot them, avoid them and deal with them when you come across them?
Debate coaches Lo and William discuss logical fallacies based on Lo's excellent workshop on logical fallacies in debating.
William chats to Sarah Beckwith, a long-standing memeber of 104 London Debaters and an accomplished Toastmaster, on how she overcame her fear of public speaking and how debating is both fun and useful.
What makes a debate a debate? It's the clash between the two sides of the controversy or argument. But even in everyday life, work and other contexts you'll be called upon to defend your views against the counter-arguments presented against them.
How do you do that effectively?
Listen to this podcast and learn 3 great strategies used by the world's leading debate experts.
Presented by Debate Coach William Hagerup.
