Hello, and welcome to The Sacred.

The Sacred is a new podcast hosted by Elizabeth Oldfield, the director of Theos, the UK's leading religion and society think tank.

This podcast is interested in the state of our public conversations, the way we might do them better and the role the things that we hold sacred but don’t always know how to talk about might play.

Each episode will feature an in depth interview with writers, thinkers, activists, comedians, community leaders and others, in which we discuss the things we hold dear, and to examine the things that hold us together- not just as individuals, but as a society.

You can follow Elizabeth at @TheosElizabeth and Theos at @Theosthinktank.

'The Sacred' is produced by Hussein Kesvani and No Country Media. You can follow Hussein at @HKesvani
