Podcasts
The Panpsycast Philosophy Podcast: Made by teachers, this podcast covers A-Level relevant material like the Design Argument, Free Will, and Religious Language in an accessible way. Highly recommended.
ALevelREpodcast: Specifically designed to support A-Level Religious Studies students, covering topics like Body, Mind & Soul, Religious Language, and the Problem of Evil.
Thinking Allowed (BBC Radio 4): While not exclusively Religious Studies, this often features discussions on the sociology of religion, ethics, and contemporary religious issues, offering broader context.
Philosophize This!: Covers the history of philosophy in a clear, digestible format. Excellent for building general philosophical literacy, which is crucial for the Philosophy of Religion component.
There are some really good films looking at some of the ethical issues you will cover:
Me before you
Dead man walking
The constant gardener
There are some TV shows we would highly recommend:
The Good place is excellent for philosophy and an easy watch
Paradise on Disney
