5.0 out of 5 stars from 121 ratings
  • Jamie has a style which helps you to feel that he and his guests are firm friends from years ago and that they're just having a deep 'catch up'. Katie's take on how science and religion can occupy a place in life without there being a conflict necessarily is refreshing. Can't recommend this podcast enough. Well done!
