Ep.8 - Black Liberation Theology (feat. Professor Anthony Reddie) Pt. 2

Send us a text This is the second half of our fascinating conversation with Anthony Reddie, one of the foremost proponents of Black Liberation Theology in the UK. We released the first part of this conversation last week, and it is also well worth listening to. In this episode, we discuss the relationship between American and British Black Liberation Theologies, being a Christian in leftist circles, and jazz music. Anthony also offers his reflections on Black Lives Matter in the UK, and the youn...

Ep.7 - Black Liberation Theology (feat. Professor Anthony Reddie) Pt. 1

Send us a text This is part one of a conversation we were extremely lucky to have with Anthony Reddie, one of the foremost proponents of Black Liberation Theology in the UK. Anthony introduces us to some of the ideas of British Black Liberation Theology, and how it enabled him to remain Christian in the face of white supremacy. We also send our love and solidarity to the Stansted 15 and migrants currently detained in Napier Barracks. Anthony tweets at @AnthonyGReddie and his website is www.antho...

Ep.6 - Autism and Gender (feat. Rachel Sales)

Send us a text We are joined by the brilliant Rachel Sales, to start what will undoubtedly be a recurring conversation about autism. We talk about the way gender affects both the experience of autism and the diagnostic process, as well as the inauguration of Joe Biden and the church's approach to the welfare states. Rachel explains Quidditch to us, Adam talks about his love for Kamala Harris and Ben predictably becomes the first person to be beeped out on the podcast. Rachel tweets at @Rach...

Ep.5 - Christian Concern

Send us a text Come to be concerned about Christian Concern, stay to enjoy Adam wanting to make Justin Bieber Archbishop of Canterbury and Ben being unable to say the word "truth". We also talk about the danger of fascism in the UK, question whether Jesus was a collaborator, and get extremely bored reading a Keir Starmer article.

Ep.4 - 2020 Round-Up (feat. Sarah M-H)

Send us a text We are joined by Sarah, who has now officially been on more podcasts than she has listened to, to discuss 2020 and how much we all enjoyed it. This is a pretty loose and chilled episode and we really go hard on the classic themes of the show: how terrible the British immigration system is, how horribly transphobic the UK is, and good old-fashioned Christian homophobia. We also look forward to 2021 and see if we can muster some optimism. A very happy new year to anyone who has foun...

Ep.3 - Christmas (feat. Damon Garcia)

Send us a text We are joined by the brilliant Damon Garcia, a liberation theologian and YouTuber, to talk about Christmas. We whine about the new coronavirus rules in the UK, complain about the way capitalism ruins Christmas, and suggest some ways in which Christmas might actually be good after all. Controversially, we actually talk about the bible quite a bit in this one, and condemn ourselves to eternal torment for not taking it all literally. Adam also talks about his deep desire to be a mall...
