Bread and Rosaries is the *other* UK Christian leftist podcast, and we are delighted to have Adam and Ben on this episode, talking about their show, Keir Starmer and The King of the North.

Along the way, Jonty, Laura, Malky, Adam and Ben define what a "sick freak" is, lament Bible college and tertiary education in general, and ask the all-important question: how does your favourite politician stack up against Ho Chi Minh? This is a very fun episode and we laugh a lot, and we also discuss the more serious topic of why so many people feel respect, admiration and affection for Keir Starmer (when he's been high-key worthless on the genocide in Gaza), and why those same people are excited about Andy "Diet Starmer" Burnham, the PR-crowned "King of the North". Because the bar is now so low, having a reasonable bus service makes you... well... Uncle Ho. Check out Bread and Rosaries at breadandrosaries.com

Siskin Green is a Folk trio from Scotland, making music that bridges the spaces between tradition and radicalism, faith and feminism, anger and grace.

Their sound blends the gentle and the playful, integrating lyrics that span centuries with concerns that have never been more urgent. They're also, it turns out, pretty funny. And they have a new album out in August 2026.

On Episode 119 of Beer Christianity, Jonty catches up with two thirds of Siskin Green, Margaret McLarty and Suzanne Butler, to talk about feminism, art as resistance, grace and the power of kindness. It's a lot of fun.

You can support Siskin Green while listening to their music on the Siskin Green Bandcamp page, where you can hear all the songs mentioned in this episode. And you can find more about them at siskingreen.com

You can listen to Episode 119 anywhere: in your car by a loch; in a long line of women; in any space full of wist; or right here…

David Hayward is a cartoonist, artist, author and chronicler of Christian deconstruction from conservative evangelicalism and the right-leaning politics in which evangelicals are so often raised.

Episode 118 of Beer Christianity features an interview with David, covering his art, his view of Jesus, Donald Trump, the value of the satirical image, and how Nazis don't like or understand art.

The interview is the basis of an edited, feature Q&A in Issue 8 of Shibboleth magazine, which also features one of David Hayward's works on the cover. The episode opens with some chat between Malky, Laura and Jonty about Scottish fans at the men's football World Cup and some recommended listens for progressive Christians into podcasts. Check out David's work at nakedpastor.com You can listen to Episode 118 anywhere: at the beginning of your deconstruction journey; in a flock of rainbow sheep; in a church that refuses to let Jesus in; or right here…
