I just worked a gig on a Canadian radio show called "The Debaters", playing on CBC (Canada's national station) on Saturday afternoons.

The concept of the show is about two comedians debating on diverse subjects; so even if the subject is sometimes serious, the debate itself is meant to be comedic rather than serious. Shows are recorded in front of an audience who gets to vote on who wins the debate in the end.

I was surprised and amused to see that on of the subjects for today's recording was "Do Hobbits make the Best Heroes". Turns out it was one of the best of the 6 debates we recorded today.

Spoiler for Canadians CBC listeners on these forums; it was a tie. Something that happens only rarely apparently.

thought I'd share
