Join our hosts for Thursday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Football-More than a game' and 'Bedroom Generation' Football-More than a game Join us as we explore how the football World Cup become far more than just a game. Why do fans feel such powerful emotional connections to clubs, players and nations? Does football bring communities together, or can it also fuel division and rivalry? We’ll also discuss whether modern tournaments are becoming too commercialised, changing the identity of the sport. We’ll reflect on what faith and spirituality can teach us about balance, passion and identity in a world captivated by the game, Bedroom Generation A generation connected online, but disconnected in real life. “Bedroom Generation” explores how screens, social media, and digital culture are shaping youth today.
