20-- Suneeti Sreekumar: "Breaking was a bonus, but it was never the final objective..."
Description
The finale of Season 2 is very much a "lost" episode-- it was supposed to be released in September of 2021, but it stayed in the vault for a good 9 months beyond that due to my other commitments. I spoke to Suneeti Sreekumar, ex-President of NJC Debate and current Oxford Law undergraduate, back in August to talk about her experiences in NJC Debate across 6 years. She talked about the challenges of keeping afloat a debate club with little access to resources, the surprises and turmoils along her journey, and what current batches of NJC-ians and other debaters can take away about how to run a debate society at the pre-university level. (P.S Many apologies to Suneeti, who had to wait many months for this episode to be released!)
Also coming up-- Season 3! The first episode of the new format (a serialized conversation with two stalwarts of the SG circuit across multiple episodes) will be released in only a matter of weeks. Till then, stay tuned!
