Host: DAVID BONADDIO

Guest: ROB BUCKINGHAM

Produced and Edited by DAVID BONADDIO

Our news headlines are awash with scandals. Their salacious details are monetised by commercial news outlets, they send social media into a flurry, destroy reputations and provide global water cooler conversation.

But where do they start?

Uncovered: Mediatised Scandal is a series that takes you to the heart of the formation of scandals.

In this episode, host David Bonaddio chats to one of Bayside Church's Senior Minister's Rob Buckingham, a church based in Cheltenham that he co-leads with his wife Christie. Rob lifts the lid on a Christian perspective on the George Pell scandal, why the church's name has been trashed from scandals like this and what Australia loves about the church.

Editor's note: this program was produced and edited prior to Cardinal George Pell's release.
