The Today Debate

Random draw open

The Today Debate is about taking a subject and pulling it apart with more time than we could ever have during the programme in the morning. 

Be part of the audience in the BBC’s Media Cafe for our next debate. Today presenter Nick Robinson will be joined by an expert panel to consider a topical issue. The Today Debate will be broadcast live on BBC Radio 4. 

The topic of The Today Debate will be chosen shortly before broadcast. Previous debates have looked at the Monarchy, the social media ban, trust in the police and taxation.

Tickets will be allocated by random draw.

You can register at any time until 9am on Friday 3 July.

You can apply for a maximum of two tickets.

Good luck!
