Drive Time Show Podcast 03-06-2025: Migration Policies are Divisive? and Is Religion Good for your Mental Health?

Date: 03.06.25 Join Saad Ahmed for Tuesday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Migration Policies are Divisive?’ and ‘Is Religion Good for your Mental Health? ’ Migration Policies are Divisive? Recently, there has been a lot of discussion on migration in the UK, with the Prime Minister also addressing the issue with his "island of strangers" speech. Right-wing supporters argue in support for deportations and strict immigration control, whilst others see value added to society by migrants. Join us as we discuss the deeper issues surrounding the topic of migration, and how this can be resolved.   Is Religion Good For Your Mental Health? As loneliness and anxiety rise, many turn to faith for comfort and strength. But does science support religion’s mental health benefits? We explore how belief can ease grief, build resilience, and offer purpose, with insights from experts and timeless spiritual wisdom. Guests: Kerrie Holloway - Research Fellow with extensive knowledge of the history of the humanitarian sector and refugee crises Dr Ben Brindle - Researcher at the Migration Observatory    Producers Fezia Haq and Aisha Aullybux
