with Zara Janjua
Poet and musician John Hegley shares his Spiritual Life, marking the Dunblane tragedy 30 years on, Louis Theroux's Inside the Manosphere and political posturing at the Oscars.
After a life shaped by words, music and laughter, much-loved wordsmith, comedian and musician John Hegley joins Zara as her Spiritual Life guest. The creator of the acclaimed children鈥檚 book Stanley鈥檚 Stick reflects on his Catholic upbringing ahead of his appearance at the Glasgow International Comedy Festival.
Christian and gospel music is booming in the UK, with the market up more than 60% since 2015. The Official Charts Company has now launched the first ever Official UK Christian & Gospel Singles Chart, and chief executive Martin Talbot joins Zara to tell us all about it.
With nominations now open for the 麻豆社鈥檚 Make a Difference Awards, we hear from one of last year鈥檚 winners, Julie Morrison, about the vital support she offers bereaved parents through the charity she founded, Baby Loss Retreat.
Zara鈥檚 Faith Forum panel this week are anthropologist and psychotherapist Dr Salma Siddique, Rev Bryan Kerr of Kilmacolm Parish Church, and Daniel Gilius, a Muslim who works for an anti-racism organisation .
They unpack the week鈥檚 stories, including:
Thirty years on from the Dunblane school massacre, how does a community live with collective grief while also becoming a symbol of resilience?
With Louis Theroux returning with his documentary Inside the Manosphere, we explore the influence of online role models on boys and young men, and a new Scottish Government campaign tackling misogyny among young people.
And after another politically charged Academy Awards, we ask whether the Oscars have become a stage for activism - and whether that鈥檚 appropriate.
And ahead of Mother鈥檚 Day, the panel share the best advice they ever received from their mum - or a mother figure in their life.
