In this episode, we dig into the (sometimes murky) world of public service: We hear from MP Danny Kruger on why we need a gentle radical revolution in political thinking around social care; we hear from Bishop Graham Tomlin with his reaction to the Post Office scandal; and we hear M. Ciftci's (possibly controversial) thoughts about the Hypocratic Oath, made by the medical profession.

In this episode we explore love from three very different perspectives: Barnabas Apsray considers Christian Nationalism - is it an oxymoron? Roger Bretherton talks about how 1-in-4 people pray or meditate daily and how beneficial that is to their life; Roger Standing walks us through The Salt Path - from real life to book to movie - the story of love against all odds and what it teaches us about ourselves.
