More than two years on from the substantiated allegations against Mike Pilavachi, the team return to the question of why so few people tried to blow the whistle earlier. A new book by Facebook's former head of global public policy on the toxic culture in that company could provide a helpful and illuminating comparison. We also discuss whether Christian youth ministry volunteers actually need to be Christian, and as always we'll read your feedback and finish with a bit of organised fun.

It's an 'Ask Us Anything' special! Rachel and Martin dive into your questions and enjoy a wide-ranging conversation about balancing parenting and youth work, their shared history as failed BBC kids' presenters , and how to create a context for great conversations with young people. Listen in as 'Organised Fun' reaches a new kind of crescendo, and don't go anywhere until you've sent us your deep (and offbeat) questions too!

The team discuss whether young people can be impacted by Christian books, while taking a leisurely stroll through Martin’s poorly-promoted back catalogue. Our new Ask Us Anything segment ramps up with questions about the 1990s and our proudest youth work moments, and we respond to some vulnerably-shared listener feedback around sex and virginity.
