Hello. Hello. Hi there. I'm Connor Boyle. I'm Mia Sorenti. I'm Margarita Valpado. Welcome to Intelligence Squared, the podcast about ideas that matter. There's a new lineup of hosts here at Intelligence Squared. And with them come fresh perspectives. New conversations and different ways of looking at the world.

From the people and movements that transformed the past. I wonder how you feel about the label revolutionary when it comes to both these characters and the times that they lived through and the things they enacted. Well, it's such a controversial question. To the cultural moments that captured our collective imagination. When was the last good day on the internet? So it was November twenty fifteen, and when you say it to people, they immediately get it. It was the day that we had this pointless but hugely entertaining debate about the dress. About what the future holds. What do you think is coming next? Margarita, I think it's make or break time. I think it's to be or not to be.

Get to know your new hosts and discover the ideas they'll be exploring. Right here on Intelligence Squared. What is an idea that you wish you'd had? This is such a great question. And don't forget to follow this feed so you never miss an episode. Intelligence Squared. Ideas that matter.
