If you have not ever heard of this trial or it's significance to the RE classroom then don't miss this episode.  It underpins our teaching of fundamentalism, science and religion, diversity of worldviews and curriculum freedom.  It also shines a light on global issues and polarisation.

As we approach the 100  year anniversary of this trial (10th July 1925) listen to Ruth Marx speak passionately about John Scope!

Here are the many links to things referenced in the episode;

Sarah Silverman - we are all human and deserve love (warning, some people might find this language and humour offensive)

How to support The RE Podcast

I want to continue to create the RE Podcast as a FREE resource for teachers. However, there are runnings costs. I have to pay a monthly fee to Buzzsprout to host the podcast, I have to pay a fee for the website and the email address, I have to pay a fee to riverside fm to let me record interviews, plus the recording equipment has been a huge investment and needs updating..

There are THREE ways to support;

1) A one off gift at my Buy Me A Coffee page

2) Become and Patreon and give monthly where you will get extra content for FREE.

3) If you can't support financially, please leave a review on apple podcasts
