Episodes

  • 46 - NZ: How We Respond

    31/03/2019 Duration: 52min

    A monstrous act of racial violence is followed by a grotesque media release. Which is followed by an egg. A powerful priest is convicted of assaulting two children, then supported by former Prime Ministers and influential media personalities. How do we respond in these divided times? Do we draw a smaller circle to keep the demons out, or do we draw a larger circle and acknowledge the demon inside ourselves? Do we search for a common enemy, or our common humanity?

    12/02/2019 Duration: 36min

    26/12/2018 Duration: 01h10min

  • 38 - Climate Kiddies

    08/12/2018 Duration: 55min

    The streets were filled with students from across Australia as these young people voiced their disgust with the lack of action on Climate Change by the Coalition Government - ScoMo needs to go back to school, they reasoned. Are these students naive, reactionary and simplistic, ignoring the complexities of an issue that affects the entire globe? Or are they the voice of reason, offering clarity that cuts through a highly politicised debate? Find us on your favourite podcast software or app (Apple, Android, or Windows), or listen below.

What will Christianity look like in the next 50 years? What will society look like?

    In Australia, men earn 15.3% more than women which is often termed the Gender Wage Gap. On this podcast Rubie, Kris and Nick discuss whether the Wage Gap is a result of discrimination and unconscious bias, or more mundane explanations like working different hours, dangerous jobs, and less time out of the workforce. Is the Wage Gap something we should be fighting to eliminate, or simply evidence that women and men have biological differences?
