Flashpoint - Since 1991

Flashpoint is the regular television program of the Lawrence Debate Union at the University of Vermont. The program now has over 370 shows to its credit. Flashpoint is a program of issues and ideas. Debaters and coaches from the LDU pick a topic and research it intensively before the program.

The program consists of a fast-paced discussion of the topic and its related issues. Experts are not sought for the program, because it attempts to show that intelligent citizens can learn about an issue for themselves and then have informed and logical opinions -- which is what citizens should do. If you have comments about our program, please contact us at debate@uvm.edu.

The program has been filmed at UVM and around the world, but is mostly filmed at the studios of Vermont Community Access Media (VCAM) in Burlington. It is aired on Burlington cable channel 15 three times a week. It is also available through Burlington Telecomm. Selected programs can also be viewed online as streaming videos at this and other sites. Older programs can be seen at http://debate.uvm.edu/flashpoint.html.

We want to thank Karen McGregor for her support over the years and her work as the program's Director. She will be missed and remembered.

Remember our motto, "Think for yourself!"

The programs here can be downloaded or viewed depending on whether they are in the QuickTime or the RealPlayer format. Some episodes are now provided via Google Video.
