Second Thought for the day

Comedy Religion & Spirituality

Season 1

Angela Tilby - Welcome to an Anglican drought of reason from the ever-reliable Canon Tilby

A real car crash broadcast from Tilby. So bad you should definitely listen to the original on BBC Sounds. It's a masterclass in why faith should never outweigh curiosity.

Michael Hurley - Pointless rhetorical tour of some literary logical flaws

Not a single factual error. That's quite an achievement in this company!

Throwback review - Retired priest was worse than we thought at the time

Angela Tilby demonstrates that she can plumb depths that you'd not initially appreciated. Welcome to the straw man episode in which Tilby invents history. In a throwback episode we fact-check our review of Angela's broadcast of 11 April 25.

Lucy Winkett - Anglican rector boldly leaps the boundaries of sense and coherence

The Easter effect claims another victim among the Christian TftD presenting community.

Jasvir Singh - In honour of Jon Humphrys, we just named an error

Singh does well but failed to distinguish Sikhism from not-Islam and we're likely a tad unfair to saddle him with the inaugural use of the Humphrys Kumbaya Flagrancy

Catherine Pepinster - Pepinster get's wrapped up in error-strewn commentary on biblical cloaks

There is no coherence here. Just cloaks. Donkeys, misogyny and cloaks.

David Walker - Faintly embarrassing flag waving from Anglican Bishop

Bishop of Manchester provides wholly one-sided account of the development of the ethics of war. There's good stuff in there too, but that's really not what stands out.

Ephraim Mirvis - Rabbi Knight is eloquent, relevant and informative. Canon Tilby, take note.

Chief Rabbi On truth, Passover and holding holocaust deniers to account .

Angela Tilby - Does Tilby have beef with Camilla?

Former Anglican priest rambles about marriage. Fails to make point. Makes many logical errors. Doesn’t seem to like Camilla. Possibly doesn’t like Archbishop. Notes, the podcast script and everything about the original BBC show can be found here.

Sam Wells - London vicar opens with falsehood. Fails much to improve thereafter.

London vicar opens with needless falsehood. Fails much to improve thereafter.
