About this Podcast:
Turning World is a podcast about making sense of a world in motion. Politics, culture and faith are no longer fixed or familiar. Old certainties are shifting, institutions are changing shape, and public debate feels more polarised and unstable than ever. In the middle of all this, it’s easy to feel disoriented. Each episode brings together thoughtful voices from across politics, culture, faith and beyond for conversations that are open, curious and grounded. There are no rigid positions or ideological lines to follow, just an honest attempt to explore what’s changing, why it matters, and where it might lead. The discussions are rigorous but respectful. Questions are asked in good faith. Disagreement isn’t avoided as it’s part of the process of understanding. If you’re tired of shouty debates, fixed opinions and surface-level takes, Turning World offers something different by exploring ideas that don’t fit neatly into boxes. <p
