Anne McElvoy presents the debate programme which invites two people who disagree on an issue to listen closely to each other's arguments - and then to find out what drives them.

In each edition, Anne works with one of our two regular conflict resolution specialists, Gabrielle Rifkind and Louisa Weinstein, to foster a more exploratory conversation, to encourage both speakers to probe the values and experiences that underpin each other's beliefs.

In the first edition of the new series, the journalists Daniel Finkelstein (the Times) and Mary Harrington (Unherd) debate whether, in an age of upheaval, political centrism is obsolete - or more vital than ever. And then Anne and Gabrielle invite each guest in turn to try to discover what drives the other's viewpoint - and to articulate it back to its holder.
