Hello, ho, ho! Here's an important message from Network Rail for anyone who's travelling by train this Christmas and New Year.

We'll be working over the festive period to make improvements to the railway. Most of the network remains open, but some train services will be affected from Sunday the 25th of December until Monday the 2nd of January.

So, to keep your festive plans on track, please check before you travel at nationalrail.co.uk slash Christmas.

Okay, here we go. The Stead by 3, 2, 1!

The Thinking Atheist. It's not a person. It's a symbol. An idea.

The population of Atheist in this country is going through the rule.

Rejecting Faith. Persewing Knowledge. Challenging the sacred. If I tell the truth, it's because I tell the truth.

Not because I put my hand on a book and made a wish and working together. For a more rational world.

Take the risk of thinking, feel so. Much more happiness. Truth, fusion, wisdom will come to you that way.

These are roughly five minute vignettes that release every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. And you can search it on any major podcast app.

True stories with Seth Andrews. Some people have said you just type in my name, Seth Andrews, to find it. And it will pop up.

You'll see my face there with a microphone. And every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, you will get a new true story.

And it might be, you know, a piece of history that you didn't know about or it may have been something that happened last week.

It could be obscure trivia, weird news, true crime or some fact about something that we do or use every single day.

Just random, cool, true stuff. And the whole format is based on a broadcaster that inspired me back in my old radio days.

He was an ABC news broadcaster and storyteller, his name is Paul Harvey. And Paul used to do this feature is called the rest of the story.
