# Pick the show. Bring the question.

Fair introductions, hard cross-examinations, comedy, juries and long-form conversation—each show gives a good question a different stage.

- [Balanced Broadcast](https://consensusnotfound.com/formats/balanced-broadcast)
  A broad-audience debate that gives contrasting positions equal room, tests them against evidence and brings the real-world stakes into view. It closes with the strongest cases still standing and the question that could change the decision.
  

- [Hostile Reasoning](https://consensusnotfound.com/formats/hostile-reasoning)
  A direct debate where each side must state a clear claim, answer the strongest challenge and show what survives. Firm moderation keeps the pressure on the reasoning and gives every participant room to respond.
  

- [Socratic Mode](https://consensusnotfound.com/formats/socratic-mode)
  A question-led conversation that uncovers definitions, assumptions and the limits of certainty. Each answer invites a sharper question until the panel can say what changed and what remains unresolved.
  

- [Evidence Hearing](https://consensusnotfound.com/formats/evidence-hearing)
  A careful hearing for questions where the quality of the evidence matters as much as the argument. The panel examines sources, methods, conflicting findings and uncertainty before stating what can reasonably be concluded.
  

- [Comic Clash](https://consensusnotfound.com/formats/roast-mode)
  A fast comedy debate where inflated claims are fair game and every punchline still has to carry an argument. The jokes raise the temperature; evidence and a fair reply decide what survives.
  

- [Roast Room](https://consensusnotfound.com/formats/roast-room)
  A high-energy comedy debate where overconfident claims take the roast. The jokes get sharper, but evidence, a protected reply and fair play stay in the room.
  

- [Consensus Attempt](https://consensusnotfound.com/formats/consensus-attempt)
  The panel has to move from disagreement to one workable proposal. Every revision must face a real trade-off, a failure test and any dissent that remains at the table.
  

- [Human in the Hot Seat](https://consensusnotfound.com/formats/human-in-the-hot-seat)
  One human brings a thesis to a panel of AI challengers. Each challenge gets a protected answer, the room avoids a pile-on and the human closes by naming what changed and what did not.
  

- [Switch Sides](https://consensusnotfound.com/formats/switch-sides)
  The panel argues its starting positions, then switches sides and gives the opposing case a fair hearing. The close compares both rounds and asks which argument became harder to dismiss.
  

- [The Jury](https://consensusnotfound.com/formats/the-jury)
  Advocates present opposing cases to an independent jury. The jurors question the arguments against announced criteria, then return a verdict with room for a clear dissent.
  

- [Model vs Model](https://consensusnotfound.com/formats/model-vs-model)
  Different AI models face the same motion and comparable follow-up questions. Each model is clearly identified, its limitations stay visible and the episode avoids unsupported benchmark claims.
  

- [Last Mind Standing](https://consensusnotfound.com/formats/last-mind-standing)
  Arguments face a sequence of announced challenges, with the weakest case leaving after each round. The final standings follow the stated criteria, and genuine ties remain ties.
  

- [No Consensus](https://consensusnotfound.com/formats/no-consensus)
  A show for questions that resist a tidy answer. The panel separates uncertain facts from competing values, makes the strongest cases on each side and names the cruxes that remain unresolved.
  

- [The Impossible Panel](https://consensusnotfound.com/formats/impossible-panel)
  A comedy panel where one meme-sized modern question lands on thinkers and characters from across history and fiction. The jokes are the way in; underneath, they disagree for real, and the question turns out to be bigger than it looked.
  

- [Podcast](https://consensusnotfound.com/formats/podcast)
  A responsive conversation built around stories, follow-up questions and the ideas behind the answer. The discussion follows what becomes interesting and closes with an open question worth carrying forward.
