The Lost Debate Newsletter
Welcome to The Lost Debate. We’re ethically contrarian, meaning we challenge conventional wisdom—not to be different or provocative—but to highlight issues underrepresented in traditional media.
This newsletter is a companion to our flagship show, The Lost Debate, a twice-weekly YouTube and podcast program that brings you news, ideas, and trends of the day. It’s hosted by Ravi Gupta—former Obama administration and campaign staffer turned school principal and superintendent, Cory Bradford—former talk radio host and political organizer turned TikTok star and satirist. And, Rikki Schlott - a Gen Z New York Post columnist and libertarian fighting to protect free speech.
We’re a home for political eclectics who hold views that don’t fit neatly into any single political party. This includes independents, the undefined, and the just plain confused. We even welcome those with strong party loyalties who want to escape their echo chambers.
But this isn’t a “both sides” project in which we pretend the answer to every question comes down to an imaginary average of two partisan positions. The world is much more complicated than that, and we are far more interested in truth than balance.
