The most recent episode of the Owl & Badger podcast coincided with the UK’s ‘COVID-19 day of reflection’. We speak with Christine Padgham, a ‘professional dissident’, who gives her reflections on all things ‘COVID-19’. Christine shares how she woke up to the reality of what was happening and the need to seek truth, even when it’s costly.
This is a great episode to share with those who are starting to question the mainstream narrative.

This week we have witnessed a lot of ‘upset’ amongst those of a ‘liberal’ disposition with the Donald Trump obliteration of Kamala Harris and her Democratic Party in the US Election.
If you only get your news from the likes of the BBC, Telegraph or The Guardian, you could be forgiven for thinking that something truly terrible had occurred. In fact, the opposite is the case. Donald Trump has the popular vote (last time this happened for a Republican was George W. Bush in 2004), the House and the Senate. This means he will be able to act on his pre-election promises and bring about the change that so many Americans long for.
Although it’s been a terrible week for liberals, it’s been a more optimistic one for the unborn. A core policy of Kamala Harris was her pledge to further facilitate and expand access to demonic child sacrifice, more commonly known as ‘abortion’ or somewhat absurdly, ‘reproductive rights’. Her failure to win the presidency was a win for the unborn. In fact, Kamala Harris did so badly that there was not one single county in the United States where she outperformed Joe Biden. An underperformance to celebrate.
This week has also highlighted the contrast between our ruling elite and the incoming US president and it could not be starker:
Furthermore, Labour have more things to worry about due to their diplomatically incompetent ministers having to try and repair the damage they have done:
“Humanity and dignity. Two words not understood by President Trump.”
– Kier Starmer
“I am so happy to see the back of Donald Trump.”
– Angela Rayner
“Oh yes, Trump’s a racist bigot.”
– Ed Milliband
And of course, the liability that is David Lammy: “Donald Trump lies more times a day than the average person goes to the bathroom. Unsurprising given that all that comes out of his mouth is utter pooh.”
Given the calibre of our current political class, it will be entertaining to watch them grovel. At least for now, Christians can be thankful that Trump won, as the alternative would have been far worse.
We did a special episode on the US election result and you can listen below:
On the Owl & Badger podcast we have the opportunity to speak with people from different backgrounds and experiences in our interview episodes. It’s certainly a highlight for us and we are thankful to each person willing to give their time to be on the podcast. The majority of these interviews have been with Christians and an important thread with each of our special guests has been their desire to pursue and stand for truth as they seek to serve Christ. An analogy is that we are all on a road taking us towards the heavenly kingdom, with some people further along the road, whilst others might be a little way back.
The important point to grasp is that they are all on the right road.
The intention of these interviews is to encourage and challenge listeners to keep travelling down this often hard, sometimes lonely road. We have to help one another stay on the path to life. But it’s also an opportunity for others not yet on this road, to hear from seasoned pilgrims and hopefully have their attention drawn to what it means to follow after Christ.
This is why our latest interview with William Philip, a fellow traveller along the road to life, is well worth a listen.
As we head closer to a ‘general election’ on 4 July, we take time to delve into two important subjects. The first is The People’s Vaccine Inquiry, which seeks to actually get to the truth as to what was pushed onto the population in 2020, 2021 and 2022 (and in some cases, still in 2024). The second is a look at the Evangelical Alliance report, “Thinking faithfully about politics“, which seeks to give insight into how ‘evangelicals’ think and act when it comes to politics, however the report, perhaps unintentionally, gives far more sobering insight as to the real state of much of the UK church.
As ever, you can listen here.
In the latest Owl & Badger podcast, we speak with Dr Clare Craig, who is a diagnostic pathologist and Co-Chair of the HART Group. We cover quite a lot of ground with Dr Craig and it was particularly good to not only hear about her stand for the truth, but also her spiritual journey and resulting Christian faith.
One of the highlights of producing this podcast with Helen has been the opportunity to speak with interesting and insightful people who contribute greatly to the cause of ‘waking people up’ to the reality of the world.
In particular, this is an excellent episode to share with those who are open to the truth, but still apprehenive about what that means.
You can listen here:
I’d encourage you to listen to Dr Clare Craig’s testimony here. You can also follow Clare on Twitter (X) here and subscribe to her Substack here.
Earlier in the week, Helen and I had the opportunity to speak with Professor Norman Fenton, Emeritus Professor of Risk at Queen Mary University of London. We discussed his work highlighting issues around COVID testing, vaccination and excess deaths. We also talked with him about recent concerns on anti-semitism in the ‘Freedom Movement’…
It was great to speak with someone who stands for truth, despite the personal cost.
Please listen here – an hour well spent!
