Summary
Crack On returns with a conversation about the "phenomenon of craving," as we explore how addiction moves beyond substances into food, behaviour and the deeper spiritual struggle behind compulsive habits. From there the discussion widens into faith, meaning and modern culture—touching on Shia LaBeouf's reflections on belief, the place of mystery in a rational world, and the search for something solid as institutions falter and public life grows more chaotic.
