Church of England revs with a difference Thomas Pelham and Jamie Franklin sit down to talk about the biggest issues in church and state. This time:

• General elections announcement special: military service, quadruple lock for pensioners, who will we vote for, and "symbolism happens".
• The cosmic insignificance of humans?
• Atheist musicians in the church.

All that and much, much more as always!
