Katherine Jenkins will interview Stephen Cottrell, the archbishop of York, about his first eight months in office and the role of the Church of England after lockdown. Frank Skinner will be speaking with Sean Fletcher about his Roman Catholic faith.

Sean also discusses the two-year renovation of the grand organ at York Minster with assistant director of music Ben Morris and the Minster's precentor, the Rev Canon Vicky Johnson. Social worker Carol Lawson, who is based in the York area, reflects on the challenges she and her colleagues have faced while caring for people during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The music is a mix of hymns and worship songs, including Praise to the Holiest in the Height, Faithful One, He Who Would Valiant Be and, to mark St George's Day, Jerusalem.
