About the Undeceptions podcast:
Undeceive; to free from deception, illusion or error. Every week on Undeceptions, John Dickson explores some aspect of life, faith, history, culture, or ethics that is either much misunderstood or mostly forgotten. With the help of people who know what they’re talking about, we’ll be trying to ‘undeceive ourselves’, and let the truth ‘out’.
