Recorded on Thursday 9th October 2025, Bryn sits down with the Bishop of Norwich, Graham Usher, for a far-reaching conversation on justice — from politics and the environment to the rise of the far right and the historic appointment of Archbishop Sarah Mullally, the first woman to lead the Church of England.

Bishop Graham reflects on the continuing turmoil in the Middle East, two years after the October 7th 2023 attacks — sharing a his account of being in Israel on that day, and in Gaza just three days before.

Amid the noise, he offers a powerful call to ruthlessly pursue peace and to rebuild mutual respect across our fractured world.

A thoughtful and hopeful listen in turbulent times.

On this episode Bryn talks to Giorgia Dona, Academic, Activist and Professor of Forced Migration and Refugee Studies at the University of East London.

The Uk seems to be pulling in different directions as we see an increasingly number of people protesting against the high numbers of immigrants coming to this country.

With the Union flag being waved outside refugee hotels and chants of "out out out" ringing in our streets, we thought it might help to bring on an expert and bring some context to the time that we are experiencing. Is anti-immigrant sentiment at an all time high or have we been here before?
