I'm currently planning to do a Twitch live stream podcast where people debate on various random topics chosen by the live stream chat (or by a digital wheel if there's no one in the stream chat at the time). Topics can be pretty much anything (nothing political though since the internet tends to go overboard with political stuff). Here are some examples of the debation topics...
DEBATION TOPIC EXAMPLES
  • TOMATOS: "are a fruit" vs "are a vegetable"
  • PEANUT BUTTER: crunchy vs smooth
  • TOILET PAPER: under vs over
  • COLOR: "black IS a color" vs "black is NOT a color"
  • SODA: Coca-Cola vs Pepsi
  • STREAMING PLATFORMS: Twitch vs YouTube
  • CONTENT CREATION TYPES: video vs live stream
  • COMPUTERS: desktop vs laptop
  • MOBILES: Samsung vs Apple
  • DEVICES: mobile vs PC
  • REALITY: real vs virtual
  • GAMES: physical (board games, card games, dice games, etc) vs digital (Minecraft, Roblox, Jackbox, etc)
Of course the list above is just an example. There are many MANY more debation topics. And it doesn't have to include any facts either. It is mostly opinion related and all of the topics are typical popular internet debates.

HOW WILL EACH DEBATION TOPIC WORK?
Simply each time we start a new topic, someone will get to go first and the debations will start with a turn-based method...
  1. [PERSON A] explains why they agree/support their half of the topic within 3 minutes.
  2. [PERSON B] does the same within the same 3 minute limit.
  3. [PERSON A] argues for 1 minute (they get to explain how [PERSON B]'s half of the topic SHOUN'T be chosen, why [PERSON A]'s half of the topic SHOULD be chosen, where [PERSON B] went wrong with their explanations, etc)
  4. [PERSON B] does the same for 1 minute
  5. [PERSON A] gets 3 minutes to sum up why they SHOULD be chosen and why [PERSON B] should NOT be chosen, why their half of the topic is better, etc... pretty much whatever it takes (verbally of course) to get the viewers to vote for them
  6. [PERSON B] gets 3 minutes to do the same

Now, with all of that being said, this WILL require a minimum of 3 people (myself and at least 2 others). So would anyone be interested?

NOTE 1: The times mentioned above are mainly examples. They can (and probably will) change

NOTE 2: Some topics may involve 3 or more people (EXAMPLE OF A 4-PERSON DEBATE TOPIC: which typical color is best: red, blue, yellow, or green?)

REQUIREMENTS
  • You will need to have Discord (must be in the following form otherwise Discord won't recognize it: [username]#0000 )
  • You will need a mic and headset (or a headset with built in mic) so it is easier to communicate with myself and amongst each other
  • You MUST be willing to work on a more improv-like setting during these streams (meaning you'll be required to talk about whatever topic you get on an on-the-spot moment). NOTE: You'll only have up to 1 minute between topics to think but that's all you'll get for thinking time (not like you'd need it since you'll have time to think while another person speaks)
  • You MUST be at least 18 years of age or older (mainly because some stuff spoken may not be suitable for all viewers, creators, and other people who may be involved. Plus some of us may drink during the streams)
  • OPTIONAL: Yes you CAN live stream this as well. If you decide to stream this, I'd suggest adding some form of credit to myself and those involved. This makes it easier for the viewers to understand who all is speaking, who all is involved in general (even if they're just moderating the debated topics), and it'll give the viewers the option to watch others who may be streaming during the debate-like podcasts as well (some tend to do duo-stream viewing meaning they watch 2 or more streams at once).
