RC 381: This Is My Church / 50th
Recorded on my 50th birthday, this is the church where I heal my hurt. It’s a speed garage special for punk rockers with flowers in their hair (in the pouring rain or buying them for yourself).

RC 358: Satan Claus

A timely and prophetic discussion from 5 years ago between Christopher Hitchens and Salman Rushdie. Again as now it was just before the UK election, discussions about cartoons in newspapers – then Jyllands Posten, now Charlie Hebdo, the whole #NotAllMuslims No True Scotsman fallacy, rise of China, Hitch predicts the mess in an Orthodox-powered Russia,…
