You can listen to the interview by logging on http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/p00n2pb5 and then taking the meter to the timing 1:10 till 1:22.

My thanks to ever-helpful producer Heather Skull and presenter Lee Stone. I apologise for the crackly sounds as the interview was not conducted in studio or via an ISDN line. You can soon have access to most of my interviews on iCloud – but of course they are also regularly reproduced here on Ekklesia.

My recent (longer) CBCEW interview and conversation, ‘New Year, New Directions in the Middle East?’ cn be heard via: http://www.ekklesia.co.uk/node/16167
