How can we argue in good faith? How can we communicate with confidence? How can we uncover new ideas through the art of debate? Journalist, broadcaster, and best-selling author Mehdi Hasan has made a career out of doing just that.

John Donvan sits down with Hasan to go over the tricks of the trade, and examining methods of rooting out truths through argument.
