Adam - Curate
This time on WDYD I’m joined by Adam, who is a Curate for the Church of England. It’s a bumper episode and a lovely, thoughtful discussion, as you might expect given Adam’s job and his faith are tied up in the very same package. As ever with WDYD though, that didn’t stop me from asking the hard...

“I can’t keep going. There is no way that I can continue to do this.” Bombs! Dogs! Tight boots! It’s a thrill ride this time on What Do You Do? as I’m joined by Warren, who has the extremely cool distinction of being a Ski Patroller. There’s a deadly serious Scoop, cool mountain jargon to be...
