New film Conclave, how board games have changed the world and the Spiritual Life of trailblazing former footballer Rose Reilly.

Tony is joined by the director of communications for the Archdiocese of Glasgow to discuss Conclave, the new film starring Ralph Fiennes, which delves into the intrigue and drama of selecting a new Pope.

Author Tim Clare also joins the show to explore how board games have shaped the world. In his book, The Game Changers: How Playing Games Changed the World and Can Change You Too, he argues there鈥檚 much to learn from the lessons games teach.

This week鈥檚 Spiritual Life guest is Rose Reilly, a trailblazer in Scottish women鈥檚 football. She shares her inspiring journey on and off the pitch, reflecting on how her faith has shaped her life.

Tony is joined to discuss the week鈥檚 events from a religious and ethical perspective by Nick Spencer, Senior Fellow at Think Tank Theos, theologian Dr Eve Poole and Ravi Ladva, a member of the Hindu community in Scotland.

Topics include the growing tensions in Ukraine and how to talk to children about war; the societal impact of the Lottery on its 30th anniversary, examining the ethics of gambling and the psychological effects of sudden wealth; and the moral complexities of IVF, inspired by the new film Joy, which tells the story of the first IVF baby. The panel reflects on how the treatment has transformed lives while raising profound questions about faith and 'playing God'.
