Globes reports on "Vikhu'impada", a comedic podcast for children from Beit Avi Chai, whose goal is to teach how to manage a constructive argument. The podcast, created ahead of the upcoming elections, presents arguments as a sports competition with judges, commentators, and a red card for interrupters. Creator Liran Lifshitz explains that the idea was born from frustration with conversations that became dangerous, especially at family meals. World student debate champion Dr. Roee Shulman joins the process and criticizes the lack of direct debates between candidates in the elections, claiming that politicians know that debates don't bring votes. The podcast has already garnered tens of thousands of listens.
