Anne McElvoy presents the new series of the show that invites people who disagree on an issue to debate - and then to listen to each other.

Is having a public profile, and the success that comes with it, rewarding? Or - in an ever-more pressured media economy, with online aggression a perennial problem - is it no longer worth the emotional impact?

Vicky Ward has built a successful career as a journalist, first in the UK and then in the US, in print, on TV and in podcasting. Lucy Cavendish built a thriving career as a journalist for UK newspapers too - but then chose to leave it behind, to retrain as a therapist and counsellor. Vicky and Lucy meet to debate the relative merits of their choices - and then conflict resolution specialist Louisa Weinstein invites each of them to find out more about what has shaped the other's world view and beliefs, to see if they can reach a deeper understanding of each other's position.
