Take A Pew Podcast

As we approach Remembrance Day once more, we thought some may be interested in Ian’s talk on the subject from a locked-down 2020…

From a locked-down 2020, in a strangely empty church, Ian's little talk on Remembrance Sunday. Power, Sacrifice, Hope. Exploring parallels between Remembr...

Our Ian has been whiling away the time between recordings (sorry about that - back on the road soon!!) by spouting off in church. Typically light-hearted, and (we begrudgingly concede), sometimes vaguely insightful and helpful, he approaches the Christian faith in rational plain speak. Exploding some popular myths and misunderstandings and distinguishing the historical Jesus from the institutional icon. Anyway, a few of his talks are now on our TikketyTikTok page if you’re interested 😁

North Coast? West Coast?
For some reason, these images seem unreasonably discombobulating. 😁🤪🤔

Three years ago yesterday, we recorded the first Take A Pew Podcast.
Since then, we’ve chatted with 42 brilliant and inspirational guests, covered many hundreds of miles in the Take A Pew Jalopy, had frankly too many imptoptu visits to McDonald’s, spent way too much time in front of an editing screen, and had a VERY large number of laughs.
Many thanks to my Pew brothers Mark Hanington and the mighty Simon Clarke, and of course to all of our guests, now part of the Take A Pew family. The story continues…
🙏🙏❤️❤️

Splendid afternoon recording with the creative powerhouse that is Paul Kerensa Young. Reading out his comedical and historical cv took most of the show. And a lovely fella, too! One in the bag for Season 4.

Just out - have a laugh with Andy Kind, friend of the show (well, he’s been a guest and we haven’t had any menacing texts). Great guy, great gags, Great Yarmouth. (Actually Newcastle-Under-Lyme, but that doesn’t work quite as well.)
