  • With Rajwinder Kaur Cheema
    In this episode, Rajwinder talks to me about growing up in a Sikh family. We talk about the events and thought processes which led her to take ownership of her faith, and how her faith today compares to the religion she grew up with.

  • With Dez Wilson
    In this episode of God or Whatever, I talk to Dez about his experience of growing up in the Mormon church, as well as his current understanding of the spiritual realm. Dez' beliefs are different to mine in lots of ways, but I really enjoyed learning about his experiences and how he interprets them!

  • With Dave Watt
    I’ve known Dave since I was about 7 years old. He’s one of the coolest, wisest and funniest people I know. In this episode, we talk about art, politics, religion and family. We explore questions about how to safely explore the darkness within ourselves, and how to disagree well with the people you love. I’m sure you’ll love him as much as I do after this!

    The audio version of the podcast is available on Apple Music and Spotify.

    Dave is on Instagram at @davewattrules, and you can check out his store at davewatt.storenvy.com

  • With Emily Shordon
    Emily used to come to a church youth group which I ran. In this episode, we talk about the good and the bad stuff that comes from growing up in Christian contexts, and the importance of informal, community-based education, via some tangents about the colour blue and the question of whether God is bigger than Russia.

  • With Charlotte Mindel
    In this first episode of the new podcast, I talk to Charlotte Mindel about the difference between religion and spirituality, where they overlap, and where they don't! We also talk about mental health and self-care. Charlotte's experiences of growing up in a Jewish household and later discovering meditation and other spiritual practices in recovery have given her some amazing insights and wisdom!

    Trigger Warning - at about the one hour mark, we have a conversation about eating disorders which I hope is helpful and encouraging, but could feel a bit close to home for people who are living with similar conditions.

  • Shame and Self-Worth with Sally

    In this episode, I talk to Rev Dr Sally Nash about the toxicity of shame, the church's difficult relationship with it. Sally is a lecturer, priest and author, and recently wrote a book about Shame, which formed the basis of our conversation!

    Sally's book is Shame and the Church, and is available from SCM Press, your local bookshop, and a horrible multinational corporation as a last resort. You should buy it!

  • Music and Meaning with Matt
    In this episode, I talk to Matt Simpkins, of the band Rev Simpkins and The Phantom Notes, about how music elevates our consciousness, and the difference (if there is one) between a religious encounter with God and a non-religious experience of spirituality. Matt and the band have a new album out, called Big Sea, which you should check out!

    This episode also features snippets of an unreleased demo Matt recorded with the band. The song is called Jonah, and another version of it eventually appeared on the album Lions.
