'Along with the coronavirus crisis we now have a crisis of social conscience. In the resurrection of racial division we revisit a long history of brutality and injustice. The cracks in our civilisation are daily more apparent. But what's happening in the bigger picture of our human story? What are we to believe? What's going on behind the stories on the news? And what about the stories we tell ourselves? Will they end well or badly? Does our story ever end? In the seventh episode of this podcast I tell the story behind the stories we have always told, from the age of myth, through the centuries of religious belief, right up to the psychological dramas that preoccupy us today'.

If you're new to this podcast, it’s recommended that you also listen to the first episode, 'The Bigger Picture'.
