Toggle Between Mono and Stereo Playback?

Is there a way to toggle between mono and stereo during editing playback only? I record interviews and have the interviewer and interviewee on discreet left and right tracks which makes cleaning up and editing more efficient. However, I would like to be able to listen back in mono because it becomes fatiquing when editing with headphones to listen to (primarily the interviewee) in just one ear. I haven't figured out a way to do this and would appreciate any insights. Thanks.

All stereo tracks have a mono monitoring button on them them (easiest to see in Mixer view) and just as importantly, so does the Master channel. I'd show you a picture of it if I could, but not from this android device! Should be easy enough to locate though.

Thanks Steve. I guess I should have mentioned I edit the dialog in the stereo waveform editor.

OK I found a solution from a user on a different platform: Put the channel mixer in the effects rack and select the All Channels 50% preset which gives me a mono output.
