Dr. Breivik brings a unique and thought-provoking perspective to a subject that touches all our lives, directly or indirectly—cancer.

In this episode of The Unshaw Podcast, we delve into the resignation of Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury and spiritual leader of the Church of England. Joining the conversation is Nick Cowan who shares unique insights from his interactions with Welby—including a conversation just days before his resignation.

Our discussion ventures beyond the resignation itself, addressing the deep divisions within the Anglican Communion. From biblical interpretations to debates on modern theology, Nick and I examine the tension between tradition and progress.
