Does Paul O look like a Christian?
Paul J talks about the police using the skills of people who are exceptionally good at recognising faces and people suffering from prosopagnosia (face blindness).

Paul T continues his layman's critique of Amy Orr-Ewing's book: Why Trust The Bible? Chapter 1: "Isn't it all a matter of interpretation?"
Johno tortures the 3 Pauls by discussing the Donald.
