S01E7: Truth Is A Diamond

S01E8: The Granular Details of the Egyptian Piety Movement

This most recent episode came out of a discussion I was having with Lynn Revell and Kate Christopher about this particular case study that they had been trialling in schools. This episode consists of a brief conversation with Lynn about the benefits and challenges associated with using something this specific in the classroom.

S01E7: Truth Is A Diamond

Pete Byrne has a fascinating profile - having been raised as a Christian, he studied Neuroscience as an undergraduate before completing a Masters in Philosophy a few years later (while working as a full-time High School Science teacher). In this interview I got the opportunity to explore his perspective on the relationship between Science and Religion. While the interview is slightly longer than the usual 15 minute format I think it is worth listening in - Pete has spent considerable time reflecting on this topic and it was/is refreshing to travel with him.

S01E6: Worse Things Happen At Sea

Doug Larkam is a Maths teacher with an exotic past - being on a search and rescue team with the RAF for twenty years. I was so excited to be able to mine some of his experience in the military and get a sense of what the esprit de corp is all about.

S01E5: Peaceful Methods Require Courage

I have a slight confession: for this episode I was in the middle of preparing a unit on Peace and Conflict for some year 7 students so I combined efforts. Thankyou to Aisling Griffin from Pax Christi who gave me an opportunity to explore what Pacifism means in relation to Nuclear and Drone Weaponry. Personally I was very challenged to reflect on how our culture is saturated in violence - which perversely makes peaceful efforts seem weirdly out of place.

S01E4: What is the appeal of Catholic Pilgrimage?

For episode four I decided to dive into Catholic Pilgrimage and try to get to grips with the appeal of this kind of experience. Thankyou to Andy Lewis [https://twitter.com/AndyLewis_RE] for giving me his time in this way. By the end of our conversation I picked up a much better grasp of why this practice is so important for the Catholic community. Links and extra bits and pieces Other than being prolific on twitter [https://twitter.com/AndyLewis_RE], Andy has written some very helpful books for teaching Catholic Christianity [https://t.co/uTvcQkVyKf?amp=1]. He is also co-leads the Team RE [https://twitter.com/TeamRE_UK] twitter group.
