    Ben and Adam coordinate T-shirts, then draw from Adam's article in Shibboleth magazine to coordinate their critiques of how church and crown legitimise each other. They also react to the horror of an American Pope and present perhaps their most famous Saint of the Week yet!

I mean maybe it helps to be Christian, but I hit two out of the three areas (UK Leftie) and I'm nosey enough to be interested in a Christian skew on things! An easy, interesting, enjoyable listen!

Not just for the religious!
