    Ian Wishart (Season 4 Ep 4)

    Well, here it is!  The tables are turned on creator, co-host and jingler-in-chief, Ian Wishart. Soundman Mark takes off his headphones and takes on the co-pilot's seat as he and Simon interrogate Ian on all the usual parts of the show. Tales of Bournemouth, British Home Stores, Banking and Biblical underwear.  And an apparent in ability to answer a simple question.   Oh, and if you switch over to our YouTube channel to listen, you'll get to see a surprising pic of a wee Ian in 1969.  #faith #fun #laugh #lifestory #christian #christianity #podcast  Thanks for listening!

    Another marvelous guest pops into Take A Pew Towers for more fun- and faith-filled chat.  This time it's creator and long-time host of the brilliant Unbelievable? podcast, Justin Brierley.  We chat about early years in a cloistered Christian community, 20 years at Premier Radio, and new ventures with the Re-Enchanting podcast and new book - The Surprising Re-birth of Belief in God.  Honourable mentions along the way for CS Lewis, cheese & pickle sandwiches, Homer Simpson and the advantages of 24 hour days.  A right old chuckle. #faith #fun #faithstories #lifestory #'christian #christianity #podcast #surreal #flightsoffancy Thanks for listening!

    The Very Reverend Dianna Gwilliams, Dean of Guildford (Season 3 Ep13)

    Wrapping up Season 3, it's the awesome Dianna Gwilliams.  A story which takes in motor racing in California and engineering sound at the Royal Albert Hall, through to being among the first women to be ordained in the Church of England and going on to become Dean of Guildford.  But what we really want to know is, what is her favourite board game?  Laughs aplenty along the way, of course.

    The Take A Pew Podcast goes to the Movies

    In standing feature My Favourite Things, we've had 125 Top-5 Films from our guests thus far. With a few duplicates.   Here, we present the selections of three vicars who are self-professed film enthusiasts. 14 films (one duplicate - can you guess what it will be?), and a wide and perhaps unexpected range of genres.  What would be your Top 5?
