This Thursday, the Not So Christian Brothers return with a raw, globally split episode broadcasted from the studio in Greystones and the ancient, 4,000-year-old historic walls of Mdina, Malta. Colm and Justin dive straight into a massive cultural debate on modern parenting, highlighting the utter absurdity of non-competitive school sports days where everyone gets a medal simply for showing up.
