Insightful, entertaining, encouraging and uncomfortable

I look forward to every episode.
David’s is always insightful and thought provoking.
His vast range of topics and musical interludes add to the appeal of the Pod.
He is never ever dull or boring and occasionally acerbic.
I recommend this far and wide!

News with a Christian perspective

This is such a great podcast from a Christian perspective! I love how I hear news that isn’t on mainstream media. I’m not told what I should think but it does make me think more closely about things. I also really love how all the current news stories are able to be linked with something in common for all of them and with a song. It’s a very well planned and presented podcast!
