In this episode Craig and Martin discuss the variety of perspectives within Christianity around the creation of the world and explore some of the crossover with contemporary scientific theory.

Oh Donald...

What happens when economic chest-thumping in the US starts shaking the shelves in British shops? In this episode, Craig (the pastor) and Martin (the publican) unpack Donald Trump’s latest tariff war—why it’s kicked off again, who’s feeling the squeeze, and what it all means for British businesses and families.

Neither of us thinks Trump’s playing 4D chess here (spoiler: we’re not convinced he even knows the rules), but the impact of these policies is very real. From disrupted supply chains to rising prices, we explore the ethical, economic, and everyday consequences of aggressive nationalism in global trade.

As always, expect a mix of insight, humour, and a down-to-earth British perspective on a topic that’s global in reach but local in impact.

In our episode today, Martin and Craig are considering AI and its affect in our society.

We touch on some film classics, The Matrix, Terminator, Divergent, Star Trek; as well as enjoying our tin foil hats!

We'd love to hear how AI is affecting you and what concerns you have so please get in touch!

This episode took some thought, some discussion and an emotional toll on both of us...

Please have a listen as we discuss the new assisted dying bill in the UK, considering the issues we can see in the overall debate.

Potential trigger warning, we do cross over into discussing suicide as well as mental health so if these topics might be a trigger for you, please be forewarned.

As always, if you want to share your thoughts please do get in touch, or if you want to talk about anything in this episode, Craig and Martin are very happy to chat (usually over a beer!)

In this episode, Martin and Craig discuss the new year and consider whether there are any new years resolutions they want to make, and even whether it's something they want to do.

There's an invite in this episode to let the team know whether there's anything you'd like us to discuss, maybe some more topics where we're likely to disagree? Please let us know how you'd like to see the podcast develop in the year ahead.

Join Martin and Craig (and their normally silent partner - Mark) as they discuss their different experiences of Christmas and what it means to them now.

What were your Christmases like growing up? What does Christmas mean to you today?

We hope you enjoy listening along and that you have a very merry Christmas!

In this episode we dive into the wondrous world of beer. Craft and microbreweries are discussed, beer is consumed (and an accidental cider) and Martin and Craig talk all about their beer related experiences...

We enjoyed a sampling from Tree House and Russian River in the US, followed by a UK beer from Titanic Brewing (Craig had a second order of the latter come through this week!)

Importantly though, what is your favourite type of beer? Any breweries we should know about?

Thanks for tuning in to our budget special! In this episode we talk literature, politics and we make an uneducated assessment of the first 119 days of the labour government and their new budget.

Please give us your thoughts on the episode and especially please share where you disagree with us!

In this episode, Martin and Craig discuss some of our autumnal cultural traditions. Craig grew up celebrating Halloween but doesn't any more; Martin has maintained his love of all things fire and blowing stuff up through continuing his celebration of bonfire night since he was a child.

Join us as we get into this autumnal special!

What autumnal traditions do you enjoy and continue today?

In this episode Craig and Martin discuss how their respective decisions on having children of their own make a difference to their lives and the various pros and cons of either decision.
