fuck the framing.

and so, the end is here. thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who has supported us and proven that there is a space in this often claustrophobic event to say what's on our minds. we hope you continue to carry a critical mindset—because really, fuck debate. goodbye for now. love, rina and sherry

on our podcast today, we invited our teammate, oliver, to talk about his perspective on kritiks, not only as a policy debater, but as a trans debater! this is our second-to-last episode, so we're beyond thrilled that this episode is filled with so much insight. if you're looking to learn more about actual k literature or the culture around it, you won't want to miss this one!

ftf is on a roll for exploring other events! while mingyi (bellaire) has primarily done pf, he has also dabbled in ld. sharing the best (and not) of both worlds, this episode features mingyi telling us about his experiences in debate holistically. tune in for our conversations about memorable rounds, camp, and more!

here on ftf, we've mainly discussed the ins and outs of the debate space; speech is foreign to our podcast. however, speech and debate go hand-in-hand. that's why we've invited our friend, daniel rupawalla, who is (mainly) an extemper, to share his insight and experiences with the speech world. we hope you're just as excited as we are to learn more about the other half of this acti...

debate organizations have been on the rise, and here's what we think about it!

roger (strake) has been a good friend of ours on the circuit for a while now. he's debated for two schools and he's the best spikeball player we know! join us for a super chill episode talking about roger's experiences with debate, what we think about debate as a whole, and more!

we've never really talked about what exactly fuck the framing is supposed to be, so here's a long-overdue introduction.

raj (strake) gives us an insider's look on what goes on in the team of one of debate's most prominent and decorated schools, strake jesuit.

debate is so unnecessarily, egregiously expensive, and we definitely have opinions about it.

*sherry's personality (jk!). nicky (millburn) joins us in talking about the debate community and how important it is to so many people, straight from nsd - definitely before curfew.

it's camp season!! special shoutout to epsilon cw lab leaders josh (masterman) and sadie (chapin), as well as dessie & bela (bergen) and ethan & arvind (princeton) for joining us!!

debate isn't try-or-die, so let's keep it civil. - sorry for the unprecedented hiatus! regular uploads will start again now.

taking the public out of public forum!!

*judge screwed. mostly, but not always, by lays.

you didn't see us at the tournament of champions, and here's why.
