This is the first episode of our new podcast, Stock Issues, presented by the Missoula Debate League. Visit www.missouladebateleague.com for more information! This year's NSDA policy debate topic takes on the issue of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, specifically calling into question U.S. contributions to the Cold War era organization. As such, MDL's founder, Eli Brown, discusses the context which gave rise to NATO along with the history of the organization through the fall of the Soviet Union.
