Welcome Instapundit Readers, to Loquitur.

And thank you, Professor Reynolds, for the link. We really appreciate it.

Now, I’m sure that more than a few of you out there are wondering about who we are and what this podcast is all about.

In short, Loquitur is a brand-new Internet podcast dedicated to interviewing academic and professional experts on current National Forensic League debate topics for the free educational benefit of high school students competing in Lincoln-Douglas and Public Forum Debate. 

To that end, for those of you who are familiar with the world of competitive high school debate — particularly, Lincoln-Douglas Debate and Public Forum Debate — please read our open letter to high school debate coaches and students.

And for those of you academics and professionals out there visiting our blog for the first time, please read our open letter to academics and professionals.

Please also visit our About Page to learn more about the “geniuses” behind Loquitur.

Otherwise, we hope you enjoy the show!

And do tell us what you think about the podcast and our mission — or if you’d like to help us out with what we’re trying to accomplish here.
