Lost Debate is a non-profit media company founded to tell the stories of those misunderstood, overlooked, or just plain threatening to those with privilege and power.
We’re ethically contrarian, which means we challenge conventional wisdom —not to be different or provocative —but to tell stories and highlight issues we believe are valid and underrepresented.
Through originally produced podcasts, long and short-form videos, written commentary, and investigative journalism, we’ll build fresh narratives.
On this episode, Melanie Kirkpatrick joins Mark Bauerlein to discuss her new book, "Lady Editor: Sarah Josepha Hale and the Making of the Modern American Woman."

Does it feel impossible trying to maneuver through the minefield of free speech, inclusivity, and "wokeness"? Or are we experiencing a much-needed disruption to the status quo? Today we're joined by Suzanne Nossel, Chief Executive Officer of PEN America, the leading human rights and free expression organization, to talk about navigating and defending free speech and free expression while also cultivating a more inclusive public culture.
Wilfred Reilly joins the podcast today to talk about his essential article, “The Whiteness of Wokeness.” As we discuss the phenomenon of well-to-do Caucasians supposedly speaking on behalf of the needs of African-Americans and those of color, we delve into the brilliant observations of George Orwell 85 years ago in his book, The Road to Wigan Pier. Then we talk about the Virginia governor’s race. Source
