Ep.13 – Purity Culture (feat. Sarah M-H)
Bread and Rosaries
12/09/21 • 72 min
Official wife of the podcast, Sarah Molyneux-Hetherington, joins us for her second episode, this time helping us think through what purity culture looks like in the UK. If that doesn't do it for you, listen anyway as she and Ben finally spill the beans about what happened on their wedding night! There's a couple of slight changes in audio where we've had to stitch things together, including a segment recorded after Sarah went to bed which is why she doesn't talk about the economics of purity culture at all.
Content note: Between roughly 15 minutes and 17 minutes, and roughly 31 minutes and 33 minutes, Sarah talks briefly about sexual assault. Please do skip these segments if that's what's best for you. Sarah has asked us to assure our listeners that she is in a much better place than she describes previously being in during the episode.

Ep.62 - Democracy as Ideology
Bread and Rosaries
10/04/24 • 58 min
How is democracy used ideologically? Is it even the best way to structure society? Are there alternatives? Jonny and Adam try to get to the bottom of it and along the way run into dogs painted to look like pandas, the resurrection of a long-lost biblical tree, and the first (and possibly only!) TORY Saint of the Week!

Ep.28 - Time Travel (feat. Dr Bonesy)
Bread and Rosaries
02/09/23 • 67 min
It's late, it's cobbled together from multiple sessions and for a bit of it you can hear Ben's washing machine on a spin cycle, but the hotly anticipated Episode 28 is here! We chat through things that have been happening, most of them bad. Ben and Adam make bad attempts at time machine noises. There is a discussion of what we want to happen to our bodies when we die, and a new character "Dr Bonesy" is added to podcast canon.
We mention the wonderful Geez magazine, which can find more information about at https://geezmagazine.org/

Bread and Rosaries
10/19/21 • 66 min
Content note: between 16 minutes 40 seconds and 21 minutes, we discuss child sexual abuse fairly extensively. Please do skip past this segment if that's what's right for you.
Our short break ended up taking 6 months, but we are back! Recorded a couple of months ago, in this episode we talk about Hillsong church, debate who was the biggest Hillsong fanboy and discuss what drugs Jesus would distribute. We discuss a documentary that can be watched on BBC iPlayer here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000y2g7/storyville-hillsong-church-god-goes-viral

Ep.11 - Protest and Policing
Bread and Rosaries
04/06/21 • 59 min
It's been a while but we're back with just the two of us, and we take the chance to dive straight into some heavy stuff! We talk about the wave of protests that have been happening in the UK, and the police response to them. We try and think about the way in which the Church works to legitimise police violence, and then try to find some resources from within Christianity to oppose this and support protest.

Ep.7 - Black Liberation Theology (feat. Professor Anthony Reddie) Pt. 1
Bread and Rosaries
02/09/21 • 53 min
This is part one of a conversation we were extremely lucky to have with Anthony Reddie, one of the foremost proponents of Black Liberation Theology in the UK. Anthony introduces us to some of the ideas of British Black Liberation Theology, and how it enabled him to remain Christian in the face of white supremacy. We also send our love and solidarity to the Stansted 15 and migrants currently detained in Napier Barracks.
Anthony tweets at @AnthonyGReddie and his website is www.anthonyreddie.com
This is a fantastic article by one of the Stansted 15: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/feb/02/stansted-15-quashed-conviction-terrorists-deportation-hostile-environment
