The Pew Podcast: Recent Episodes
Winchester Cathedral
Unwind with Canon Andy and Bruce Parker as they walk and talk around the grounds of Winchester Cathedral, discussing everything from local and global events, personal experiences and worship. For centuries the pew has been used as a seating area for audiences to receive important messages as well as a place to sit and simply reflect on one’s own. From time-to-time quiet whispers can be heard across the pews, reuniting with familiar faces, or greeting those who aren’t. The Pew Podcast is a place for all to gather, so pull up a pew of your own and join the conversation. Andy Trenier, the Canon Precentor and Sacrist of Winchester Cathedral, is joined by Bruce Parker, Chair of the Friends of Winchester Cathedral and former presenter of Antiques Roadshow and BBC South Today.
