Millions of us watch The Traitors convinced we’d spot the liars. But would we really?

This week, we’re joined by Jack Butler, finalist on BBC’s The Traitors Series 4, to discover why Britain is so obsessed with the show and what it reveals about human nature.

Jack takes us behind the scenes of the castle as we explore trust, mind games, why we’re so quick to judge others, and whether we really understand people as well as we think.

We also venture beyond the game into some surprisingly personal conversations about mental health, spirituality and life’s bigger questions.

With Celebrity Traitors back on our screens, who better to help us understand the phenomenon than someone who’s lived it?

Are you just a brain: 1.5kg of water, fat and firing neurons?

Neuroscientist and author Dr Sharon Dirckx joins Jack and Graeme to ask what science can and cannot tell us about consciousness, free will and who we really are. What do dementia and brain injury mean for our identity and dignity? Are our choices merely chemistry? And does Christianity offer a bigger picture of what it means to be human?

Divorce doesn’t come with a funeral, but it can still feel like a death. Homes, relationships, identity and the future you imagined can all be torn apart.

In this deeply honest conversation, Vaneetha Rendall Risner shares from her own experience of divorce. We explore grief, shame and forgiveness; what really dies when a marriage ends; and how you rebuild when life hasn’t gone to plan.

Can Christian hope offer something deeper than simply “moving on”?

Are You Sure You Want to Stay Unsure?

“I’m just not sure.”

For many people, that feels like the most honest answer to the question of God. But is staying undecided really a neutral position?

In this episode, we speak to Sachy, author of Are You 100% Sure You Want to Be an Agnostic?, about whether agnosticism is genuine openness or a way of avoiding Jesus’ claims.

We explore why evidence matters, whether “spiritual but not religious” is enough, and what the next honest step looks like for anyone who simply says, “I don’t know.”
