Getting Better Acquainted

In GBA 31 we get better acquainted with Ged. He talks about Blackpool, class, George Orwell & protest amongst other things. We are on a train to Edinburgh and drinking beer. We also address some of our points of tension.

Look out for a GBA extra ON FRIDAY where I get another POV on the march that me and Ged discuss.

Ged plugs:

She talks about the transformative power of theatre in education, drumming, faith, same sex marriage, working with children and adults with special needs, music and more.

In GBA 29 we get better acquainted with Matt. Recorded in a snatched moment at (future GBA guest) Richard's wedding, Matt talks about being an evangelical Christian, love, homophobia in religions, the Bible as literature, spirituality and the nature of performance. We come at the conversation from different sides and we meet somewhere in the middle.

Matt doesn't really plug anything, but the conversation is generally a plug for Christianity and specifically about having a relationship with God.
