The first episode of a brand new podcast series from the RSA, 'Polarised'.
Matthew Taylor and the author of 'Born Liars' and 'Curious', Ian Leslie, investigate the forces driving us further apart – and what can be done about them.
They start by asking the sociologist Paula Surridge whether we've become a nation divided into two tribes: liberals and authoritarians.
Produced by James Shield, with production help from Alex Atack in Bristol. Artwork design by Emily Power.
