PBS Premiered New Debate Series 'Point Taken' Wednesday Night

First question: Is the American dream dead or alive?

“Is the American dream dead or alive?” was the focus of the premiere episode of Point Taken, a new PBS debate series that takes on one question each week with a rotating panel of guests.

“Point Taken will bring fresh and diverse voices to the table, providing a break from the ‘usual suspects’ on any given topic,” the series promises on its homepage. Guests on Wednesday’s show, moderated by host Carlos Watson, OZY’s CEO and founder, included investor/finance pundit Monica Mehta, Boston Herald Radio executive producer Tom Shattuck, Reason EIC Matt Welch and journalist and author Isabel Wilkerson.
