Podcast Overview

We host dinners, now zoom, on controversial topics with people who have opposing views, with the aim of having a dialogue. It's about the relating rather than the debating. We create a safe space for all views to be heard. Our aim is not for them to agree, but to understand each other. We don’t take sides. We believe that we need more spaces where opposing perspectives can co-exist and maybe learn from each other.
