Church of Englands revs with a difference Daniel French and Jamie Franklin sit down to talk about the big stories in church and state. This time:

• Death of the Iranian President - "The Butcher of Tehran" - provokes surprisingly sentimental response from the West.
• Our take on the new "demonic gore" portrait of King Charles III.
• Gay blessings opponent Bishop Jill Duff inexplicably participates in ordination of gay Welsh bishop.
• Is it possible to return the BBC coverage of anything?
• Russell Brand and Quantum Physics.

That and much, much more as ever.

Church of England revs with a difference Daniel French and Jamie Franklin are back to talk about the biggest issues in church and state. This time:

• Is the decline of Christianity linked to the decline of Englishness?
• Anglican primates attempt to decolonise the Anglican Communion apparently by giving the Archbishop of Canterbury more power than before. We ask what is the issue behind the issue.
• And we check in with Russell Brand to find out how his first week being a Christian has gone.

That and much much more as always.
