New episode: Seen & Unseen Aloud

Listen to a curated selection of the editor's top picks from the last week: crazies, comedy and the cut down tree.

Nick is the senior editor of Seen & Unseen.

The line up for this week's episode sounds like the start of a joke.... but it's actually very thought-provoking. Roger Bretherton asks the age old question, "why are all Christians in movies crazy?"; Theodore Brun mourns the loss of the Sycamore Gap Tree and explores what it's demise can teach us; Belle Tindall takes us backstage to her conversation with Frank Skinner and the surprise that Christians are actually interesting.

Listen to a curated selection of the editor's top picks which caught our interest this week. We also release themed boxsets from time to time.
