An EJMR debate is a good idea. If it was 2 people on each side, with a well-known moderator, it might work better. Also, tho logistics are harder, it would be better live. You could do it in the same city at the same time as the AEA conference and sell tickets to finance hiring the room. See our MIT Free Speech Alliance debate.

This is the sort of gladiator sport I could really enjoy. Gonna start crocheting my viewing toga now. (I got some nice linen summer-weight yarn in my stash…)
