As I have mentioned on another thread . . . the radio programme this video comes from, Unbelievable, is excellent! It's hosted by Justin Brierly who is pretty good at listening to both sides of whatever discussion he is hosting. I subscribe to the audio podcast version and have done for many years.. I can't say I find every episode interesting but many, many are. For the last couple of years the show has produced some particularly good episodes under the label The Big Conversation. If you check out thosee episodes you will hear some rather famous atheists and Christians having very collegial discussions. I'd call these episodes the best of the best but you may find that some other regular episodes address a particular topic you find engaging. https://www.thebigconversation.showJVL
