    Send us Fan Mail

    A spectre is haunting the podcast, no sadly not communism, but the next best thing: special guest Emma Holton.  Should Christians celebrate Halloween?  Are light parties cool?  Should Ben watch Star Trek?  All will be answered in the most spooktacular episode of Bread and Rosaries yet!

  • Ep.22 - Mind Grapes of Wrath

    Send us Fan Mail

    Last episode was far too positive, so we balance it out by getting real depressing this week. We talk through a variety of things, partially because we are interested in them but mostly because Ben didn't read the article he was meant to.  We offer half-baked thoughts on the recent Italian and Brazillian elections, and compare Theology Slam to It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia.

    Content Warning - Police violence, murder, racism. From around 28 minutes, for roughly 10 minutes we discuss the killing of Chris Kaba.

  • Ep.21 - Why Bother?

    Send us Fan Mail

    In response to a listener's question, we try to work out why we still bother with faith and the church, despite everything we moan about on every podcast. We have tried out very best to be positive this week, but theres still plenty of complaining and being annoyed, because we are grumpy leftists.

  • Ep.20 - Christian Identity in Politics

    Send us Fan Mail

    We're back after our month off. We recorded this before the Queen died, so we don't talk about that all, which may be a nice break for some of you. We also had some audio issues with the second half of the podcast, so we had to use a much worse audio source than usual, so the quality of the sound is much worse than usual. Sorry! This week we welcome Liz Truss as our leader, and discuss the role Christian identity plays in UK politics. We also both are heretics.

  • Ep.18 - Strikes

    Send us Fan Mail

    We've missed the last episode due to the horrors of Ofsted and Covid, our two least favourite acronyms, but we're back to talk about strikes. With 2022 shaping up to be a year of industrial action, it seemed a good time to think about strikes. We also chat a little bit about the Tory Leadership Election, Roe v Wade, and why we're the Velvet Underground of podcasts (Ben said Ramones, but he meant Velvet Underground, and feels pretty embarassed about the mistake.)

  • Ep.17 – COVID-19

    Send us Fan Mail

    We like to think we're fashionably late to the COVID-19 party, but it may just be that we're both perpetually late people.  This episode is also two days late so I guess the evidence is stacking up...

    In this episode Ben and Adam talk about COVID conspiracy theories, the Church's response to the pandemic and links between climate change and epidemics. They may also slip into heresy... again...

  • Ep.14 - Sinners In the Hands of An Angry Pod

    Send us Fan Mail

    We're back!! After a long break, we have returned with a slightly looser episode looking at atonement theories, whether we really have to pray for our leaders, and chatting about a Rowan Williams article. We go on a lot of tangents in this one, including Adam's bookcase of shame and Ben proving that he did learn something at school after all.

    The Williams article we talk about is here.
