CSM8: Head to Heads

Election season is fast upon us, and several candidates aren’t wasting any time getting out on the campaign trail. The fair Scotts from Crossing Zebras have done an excellent job keeping track of who has declared their candidacy, as well as begun a series of very probing one on one interviews with them.

 

Every election cycle, each podcast takes a different approach to their campaign coverage. Xander from CZ is taking the one on one interview approach, while traditionally Lost In EVE will feature large groups of candidates in a debate format. So where do we fit in?

 

Declarations of War will be hosting one on one, head to head debates between candidates. Ranging from two candidates vying for a similar electorate to candidates of radically opposed philosophies, we will bring you a contrast of ideas moderated by the only podcast team featuring someone who’s actually BEEN a CSM.

 

Expect to see these style episodes grow in frequency over the next two months as more candidates enter the field and the election draws near. Should be awesome.
