Maurice explains the essence of the work that World Vision does globally (5:00).

Roz speaks about her experiences spent working with World Vision in Mexico and Syria.

0:00.0	Hey there, just a little note to say that I recorded a lot of this episode prior to the death of
0:06.6	George Floyd and the subsequent protests. I think I need to note that at the top of the episode
0:12.4	because for me, that changes everything and it should change everything and it should change how
0:17.6	we have these kind of conversations. So I wanted to make that note at the top of the show to let you know.
0:23.5	The conversation with Liam Cunningham took place afterwards and you'll understand that

1:22.6	And whatever's happened to them in their youth, you can feel sorry for them, you know, if you're not at the end
1:28.9	of their stupidity and their violence. There's a portion of me feels sorry for Trump, and then
