In a departure from the usual theme of the podcast, although we do touch briefly on spiritual and religious issues, I spoke with former pop music artist, impresario, producer, TV personality and convicted sex offender Jonathan King.

We talk about his life in the music industry and the legal issues he has faced since the 2000s. I hope you enjoy listening to our conversation.

Enjoy the rest of your weekends and 'see' you next Sunday.

In last week's episode, I had an insightful conversation with Professor Tim Coulson of Oxford University about his book The Universal History Of Us, where we explored the origins of the universe, the emergence of life, and how evolution shaped the incredible biodiversity we see today.

This week, I invite you to dive into a different perspective with my guest Nick Cowan, a Cambridge University science graduate and lifelong science educator. We'll discuss his unique worldview, shaped by years of scientific exploration and teaching, offering a fresh take on the story of life and the universe.

Welcome back, seekers, skeptics, and believers, to another thought-provoking series of The UnShaw Podcast!

If you joined us for Series 1, you’ll know this podcast is all about tackling life’s biggest mysteries and the age-old questions that have puzzled humanity for millennia: Is there a God? Was Jesus divine? Do we need a higher power to explain the universe? How did life truly begin, and what sparked the birth of the cosmos itself? You know, just the light stuff.

In this opening episode of Series 2, I’m thrilled to be joined by none other than Professor Tim Coulson, a leading expert in evolutionary biology from Oxford University. He's recently written a book "The Universal History Of Us".

Together, we’ll explore the origins of life, the role of natural selection, and whether modern science can offer insights into these ultimate questions. Can Professor Coulson, with his extensive knowledge of zoology and evolutionary theory, shed light on whether a divine explanation is necessary—or if science alone can unravel the mysteries of our existence?

Prepare for a fascinating and awe-inspiring discussion!
