What happens when political opposites interview the same politician? Stuff columnists Verity Johnson and Damien Grant bring their sharply different world views and personalities to long-form conversations with some of the most interesting political figures in New Zealand. No echo chamber. Just two very different perspectives, one politician and wide-ranging conversations that can go anywhere.
