What a time to be alive. It’s here, the pilot episode of Cross Culture with us, your trusty hosts - Lauren Windle and Belle Tindall. Welcome, pals. In this, our very first episode, we explore the beauty and absurdity of Married At First Sight, gush over how much we love Francis Spufford, learn about the sheer weirdness of Julian of Norwich, and ponder why cheesy faith-based films make so much darn money.
