What is Calidae Sententiae?
Calidae Sententiae (Hot Takes) is a segment in which the interviewee prepares a classical-themed hot take to present to the hosts and convince the hosts why they should believe the hot take.
What should I prepare?
You should prepare your argument and hot take beforehand, and be comfortable with questions asked by us. Hot takes should be sent to us beforehand, and your argument should have digital sources provided to us.
How is it scored?
Before each interviewee starts their presentation, they state their hot take in a sentence or two. The interviewee will then get the chance to further explain their take and answer any questions. At the end, the hosts will give a rating on a scale of 1 to 10 based on how hot the original take is and how convincing the explanation is. Interviewees will then be placed on a leaderboard with other previous hot takes.
Example Hot Take:
"Julius Caesar was a horrible general, he got lucky and has good public relations."
