I just learned about this podcast via a survey that I am conducting (though it is anonymous, so I do not know who filled it out). Would you be interested in a public debate with us? Conditional immortality is not annihilationism: https://www.dropbox.com/s/i4kyfdghjm3ri66/Conditional%20Immortality%20is%20NOT%20Annihilationism.pdf?dl=0
