    S6E3: Are we all tired of "leaders"?

    In this episode I talk about two big incidents in recent news: the re-election of Trump and the resignation of Archbishop Justin Welby. On the one hand, a toxic masculine man, trusted to rescue the USA, on the other, a safeguarding scandal that has cost him his job. What does this all tell us about leadership? Are we asking too much? Or lost to stereotypes of those we want in power? There are few answers but lots of questions. Thank you for listening!

    S6 E2: Police - Assisted Dying: Chris Kaba and Public Mercy

    In this episode, I share some thoughts on the connection between two public events in recent news: the 'not guilty' verdict for the policeman who killed Chris Kaba and the assisted dying debate. Who deserves mercy and whose lives do we fight for? This is a bit of a ranty episode, but one I could not skip. Thanks for listening.

    S5E6 Bringing Beauty to the World ft. Jake Isaac

    Today we continue conversations with creatives, with the gem that is Jake Isaac. We discuss his beginnings playing the drums in church, and his ability to transcend the divide between 'sacred' and 'secular' spaces. Also, what we can learn from MJ, Kanye West and Jon Batiste, and what he hopes his children will learn from his artistic journey. This is a beautiful conversation, I hope you enjoy it. *Notices* The competition closes on Sunday 11th August at 12 noon.
