For our final Rosaries Rewind of the series, please enjoy this episode from 2022. We will be back with new episodes very soon!

Adam is joined not by Ben, who got called into work at the last minute, but by the Rev'd Robin Hanford. Robin and Adam return the podcast to the topic of Remembrance and ask if a radical Remembrance is possible.

Unfortunately due to various issues, we're taking some time out from recording. By way of apology, please enjoy this Halloween episode from the archive.

A spectre is haunting the podcast, no sadly not communism, but the next best thing: special guest Emma Holton. Should Christians celebrate Halloween? Are light parties cool? Should Ben watch Star Trek? All will be answered in the most spooktacular episode of Bread and Rosaries yet!

There was just so much happening that Ben and Adam had to do what they do best: Mindgrapes. This episode ranges from the immediate horror of the Manchester synagogue attack, to how the event has been politicised. They also talk about how much of a change the appointment of Sarah Mullally as Archbishop of Canterbury actually represents. Finally, Blue Labour 2: Electric Boogaloo?

So... Adam watched an episode of the Newsagents podcast and got sufficiently pissed off to rant about it into a microphone so now you all have to suffer! Along the way Ben offered a controversial Saint of the Week and Adam shared news from CAGE International about political prisoner T Hoxha.

Because the audience clearly can't get enough democracy content, Ben, Adam, and Jonny reunite to pick up the conversation where they left off in Episode 62. This time they ask the question 'how democratic are our churches really?' Along the way, they detour into some sci-fi beef and discuss anti-apartheid activist, Steve Biko, for Saint of the Week.
