In this episode of the Southwark Cathedral podcast, the Dean speaks with educator and historian Sir Anthony Seldon about his book The Path of Light: Walking to Auschwitz. Seldon describes a 1,300-kilometre pilgrimage beginning on the Swiss border and travelling along European rivers toward Auschwitz, undertaken to find “figures of light” who protected the vulnerable and resisted evil during the Second World War. With the Dean, he reflects on faith, moral courage, and the scarcity and loss of such stories.

To celebrate 100 years since the birth of Kenneth Williams, Bill Holland, author of Beyond Our Kenneth: The Continued Diaries discusses Williams' beliefs, friendships, anecdotes and a fictional future with Gyles Brandreth and the Dean of Southwark. The evening explores Williams’ Christian faith, upbringing as a Wesleyan, and the way faith, love, friendship, work, loneliness, and guilt intersected in his life.

Kenneth Williams was one of the most distinctive voices in British entertainment, remembered for his scene-stealing turns in the Carry On films, his razor-sharp wit on radio's Just a Minute, and his memorable chat show appearances. His real diaries, published posthumously, captivated generations with their candour, humour and poignancy, ending abruptly with his final entry in 1988.
