Lonely Hearts

This weekend we’ve just had Valentine’s Day – for some it’s very much a romantic occasion, but for many others the day isn’t anything to celebrate at all – it compounds their sense of loneliness. In this week's programme the guest presenter Richard Littledale, a retired Baptist minister and a writer and podcaster working in Colwyn Bay, explores the subject from a personal perspective. Nine years ago his wife Fiona died of cancer and loneliness has been a fact of life for him ever since. During the programme, Richard visits a café, a farm and a hospice and talks to a psychology student who's has battled loneliness. And, Richard introduces us to a polar bear called Arthur.

Polyphonic Church

Today, churches around thew world are marking Candlemas, and stepping into that moment in the Temple when the infant Jesus was presented, and Simeon proclaimed him a light for all nations — a light that still reaches into every culture, every community, every corner of our world. But what does that look like in multicultural Wales today? How does that light sound, feel, and take shape among the many voices that make up our shared life? Jonathan Thomas explores the concept of a Polyphonic Church with Craig Gardner from Cardiff Baptist College; Tim Gill from Newtown Evangelical Church; Jessica Morgan from the Bont Church in Pontypridd, and Rev. Dominic DeSouza who recently co-authored a chapter in the book 'Polyphonic God'.

Saints and Saintliness

It sounds like the novel Jane Austen never got to write! But on this day dedicated to St Dwynwen, the Welsh patron saint of lovers, Azim Ahmed looks at what makes a saint in both medieval and modern times. In this panel discussion, four experts compare stories from Catholic, Anglican, medieval and Islamic traditions. Dr David Callander has studied Welsh saints' lives in both Latin and Welsh, and fills in some of the scant detail on the life of Dwynwen, whose cult was based at Ynys Llanddwyn in Anglesey. Father Sebastian Jones of Cardiff Oratory presents the contemporary Catholic view of saints, whilst Bishop Mary Stallard, Bishop of Llandaff, gives shares her insights into the Anglican tradition. Saints are not unique to Christianity, and Professor Mark Sedgwick, based at the University of Aarhus in Denmark, explains about saints in Islam and gives some fascinating glimpses of saints in Sufi practice.

If I could listen to this podcast all day I would be happy - happier than Matilda making banana pancakes and getting adopted, happier than a Saturday full of puppies, Netflix and Pinot

I may be an american listening to a british podcast, but the content is still interesting to hear, and introduced me to many people I would have never even heard of. Mr. Jenkins and the other moderators are fair and each discussion is never chaotic.
Always interesting

This is one of my most favorite podcasts. Although it is listed in the Christianity category, it is not a sermon or anything like it. It can be a discussion regarding beliefs and differences, sometimes it is about secular issues and how various churches/religions react, it can be to discuss a timely event, but it is always intelligent, respectful dialogue with a wonderful moderator and I always learn something.
