Beyond Belief - dealing with serious issues in a serious way
Ernie Rea
I gave up my day job as Head of Religious Broadcasting at the Beeb in January 2001 and began presenting Beyond Belief in January 2002. It was just three months after 9/11 and the events of that day gave it a context: All of a sudden everyone was interested in world religions. Britain woke up to ...

Sheila Dillon
Presenter, The Food Programme, Radio 4
