We bust some myths, discuss our commonality and have a bit of a giggle about accents too.
If you feel Humanism resonates with you you can finds out more at

Join me as I chat with Nasher about why Jesus was a socialist amongst other things!
Brian Nash or Nasher as he is more often called, takes me on his personal journey from guitar legend in 80's band Frankie Goes to Hollywood through to returning to his home town after 30 years and rediscovering its architectural beauty during lockdown.
We talk about his new fond vocation as a Funeral Celebrant (launched during the Covid-19 lockdown) and why his latest photographic and spoken word project is going to be so poignant.
As they say up there in Liverpool...'He's sound!' and I hope you enjoy listening to his musings as much as I did.
'BOSS!"
