with Tony Kearney

Tony is joined this Remembrance Sunday by Scottish writer and historian Alastair Moffat, who shares why he is drawn to spiritual places, despite his atheism.

Tony's guests this Remembrance Sunday include the war veteran and author John Nichol, who shares his remarkable experience of his time as a prisoner of war in Iraq, and 105 years after the unveiling of the Cenotaph, his new book explains the history of how we remember.

The actor Brenda Blethyn plays a neglected and lonely pensioner, who seeks solace in her equally lonely neighbour, in her latest film, Dragonfly, directed by Paul Andrew Williams. Tony spoke to both of them and asked if we really have become a nation of strangers.

Renowned Scottish writer Alastair Moffat tells Tony why he is drawn to spiritual places, despite his atheism.

As the climate convention COP 30 gets underway on Monday 10 November, Tony is joined by a special youth panel. This week, they discuss climate and hopes for the future; Remembrance; and their personal faith - and how it shapes their world view.
