I am so excited to say that this next episode is in collaboration with Ash Kundi.  Together we are going to create a series of podcasts which decolonise RE.  This week we invited Dr. Jasjit Singh to enlighten us about how we can be more authentic in teaching Sikhi.  But the discussion goes so much deeper than that as we explore the representation of Sikhi in the media, the history of Sikhs in Britain and the contribution they have made to British culture.  Dr. Singh is both knowledgeable and wise, and presents ideas that will change the teaching of Sikhi in RE forever!  Don't miss this one.

In our last episode we talked to the men, now let's hear about Ramadan from a female perspective.  What is it like celebrating Ramadan as woman?  What is an average day in Ramadan like? What are the highs and lows? What are your family traditions? (always put meat in the rice!) and how does it differ from culture to culture? All this and more in a delightful and enlightening chat with Sanum Khan, Wahida Begum and Naila Missous.

In part two of my special Easter episodes, I explore the resurrection.  What does the Bible say happens, why is this event so significant to the BIGGEST religion in the world, and are there any alternative explanations for the empty tomb? 

As an extra special Easter present to all my listeners I have also taught you how to EVALUATE arguments using the PLEASURE technique.

As it nears Easter we look at the meaning behind this festival, including it's pagan roots, what it means to Christians today and we delve into the story of Jesus last few days of his life on earth.  A warning - there are some graphic descriptions of crucifixion so this episode may not be suitable for everyone.

In this weeks episode I have a delightful chat with the Rev. Cody Coyne - a unitarian minister.  He tells me all about the beautiful and inclusive beliefs of the Unitarian Church.  If you are like me and know nothing about this faith then I highly recommend this episode.  If you already know about Unitarianism then this is a delightful 15 minutes with a very calming and delightful human!
