On the final episode of the Black Berea podcast season 3, we reflect on the life and legacy of the late Queen of Soul: Aretha Franklin.

We look at the fallout from her funeral, including the controversial eulogies and the misconduct allegations levelled at Bishop Charles Ellis. Are we over-politicising the pulpit? And is the church failing to distinguish itself in the #MeToo era?

There’s also a word on the late Senator John McCain. Enjoy 🤘🏾
