Dr Chris Deacey with Clive Marsh

Liverpool FC, Plymouth Brethren and the ‘pains of British society’: Nostalgia podcast

In the latest episode of the Nostalgia podcast series, Dr Chris Deacy, Reader in Theology and Religious Studies in the Department of Religious Studies, speaks to Clive Marsh, Head of the Vaughan Centre for Lifelong Learning at the University of Leicester.

In this podcast, we learn about what it was like for Clive to follow Liverpool FC, how he discovered The Times newspaper film reviews as a teenager, listening to Radio Luxembourg under the bed covers, his upbringing in the Plymouth Brethren, how he ended up studying German and Biblical Studies at Bangor, why he joined the SDP and later the Labour Party, his awareness of how painful British society can be, and why he thinks we will only do well in the future if we do some serious reflection on our past.
