Our Daily Bread Podcast | Our Daily Bread

After another unexpected health setback, I joined my husband and others during a retreat in the mountains. I trudged up the wooden staircase that led to the tiny church on the top of a hill. Alone in the dark, I stopped to rest on a splintered step. “Help me, Lord,” I whispered as the music began. I walked slowly until I stepped into the small room. I breathed through the lingering pain, grateful that God hears us in the wilderness! Some of the most intimate moments of worshiping God recorded in Scripture took place in the wilderness. While hiding in the Desert of Judah and most likely on the run from his son Absalom, King David sang: “You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you” (Psalm 63:1). Having experienced God’s power and glory, David deemed God’s love as “better than life” (v. 3), and it was the reason he committed to a lifetime of worship—even while in the wilderness (vv. 2-6). He said, “Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. I cling to you; your right hand upholds me” (vv. 7-8). Like David, regardless of our circumstances or the fierceness of those standing against us, we can demonstrate confidence in God by praising Him (v. 11). Though we’ll suffer, sometimes by no fault of our own, we can trust that God’s love is always better than life.

The lucky devil also gets to unpick a true classic with us: series 5 episode 6, Back To Reality.

American podcaster, writer and comedian Travis McElroy has been a fan of Red Dwarf since it started airing on PBS. He has such a unique take on the boys from the Dwarf as a surrogate family, he really made us see the show in a different light.

He's super insightful on chameleon Lister, too - listener, you're in for a treat!When we get into series 5 episode 3, Terrorform, Travis is right inside all the best bits.

Tom also gives us the last word on continuity (who are we kidding?). We discuss Tom's five star ratings… and Fergus judges Tom's take on Justice. Speaking of judgement, we go to town on series 5 episode 2, The Inquisitor (in a good way). Tom talks sitcom pinball, comedy versus philosophy, and capitalism.

Top comedian, writer and actor Bethany Black was the first kid in her school to get into Red Dwarf. She spread the word and soon everyone was into it. So, you can expect a lifetime of wisdom and enthusiasm! We have an interesting chat about how the show relates to the Alternative Comedy movement and other sitcoms of the time. Bethany reveals how her favourite characters influenced the way she lived and dressed as a kid (spoiler: not Rimmer). And her recasting idea opens the door to a deep insight into the characters…and what they reveal about different aspects of human nature. Series 4 episode 6, Meltdown, was one of Bethany's favourites back in the day. What does she think about it now? It's so much fun! We discuss Risk and how it affects the psyche. Rimmer's military madness. How well the cultural references and jokes have aged. And how much joy the lookalikes bring to the character mix. Plus: what's up with those dino-bird-monsters?!SO WHAT IS IT?Better Than Life is the pod where comedians talk Red Dwarf, the greatest sci-fi sitcom, one episode at a time.

Andrew O'Neill knows the exact date they got into Red Dwarf, telling us “it was exactly ‘me' flavoured”. Surely we can all relate? And, refreshingly, they're a proper fan of the Dave era episodes! Andrew is very insightful on why the show is perfect for young people… and metalheads. Series 4 episode 5, Dimension Jump, raises some interesting questions. Listener, would you like your own “Ace” if you met them? What are the moments in our lives when possible versions of ourselves diverge? And how self-aware do you think Rimmer is?

The incredible Alice Fraser goes all-in on what makes Red Dwarf awesome. Cleverness! Silliness! Heart! Toast! An amazing parliament-based metaphor (don't worry, not political). A very cool comparison with a Pixar classic. And a traumatic memory of Rimmerworld that lives forever in a dark corner of Alice's mind. Onto series 4 episode 4, White Hole, and it's all going on. Alice shines a light on the different types of humour Grant and Naylor flit between, and how this keeps the show dynamic and engaging for the viewer. We unpack ‘British university comedy writing', trade favourite lines from the ep (so many!) and explore why they're so great. We celebrate Hattie Hayridge.And, of course, we break down the iconic scene where Kryten explains the science of white holes.

Acclaimed standup Garrett Millerick came to Red Dwarf aged 11, with series 6. He quickly became an obsessive collector of the VHS collections, falling in love with both classic ‘eras' (series 1-2 and series 3-6). He even had an Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers t-shirt custom printed. As we unravel series 4 episode 2, DNA, Garrett reveals an interesting take on how the story might have been treated differently in series 1 or 2. We celebrate the joys of seeing Robert Llewellyn in the flesh. The time Garrett fanboyed all over Craig Charles seconds before he stepped on stage for a festival DJ set.

Not just a globetrotting standup who shot to fame in the US on Last Comic Standing, Matt Kirshen is also a TV comedy writer, with credits including Arrested Development and The Jim Jeffries Show.So, no surprise he's full of insights into the crafty magic of Red Dwarf. Matt's particularly thoughtful about the factors that make British and American sitcoms different - and why they do or don't translate. And, despite having a powerhouse cast ready for his fantasy reboot, he explains why a successful remake would be better off with a very different approach to casting. Unpacking series 4 episode 1, Camille, we cover the big questions. How much of Lister's laidback attitude is a front? What happened to the crew of Camille's ship? And how do GELFs like these actually work? Plus: how nicely the episode is structured around a single concept. And why Camille is a great jumping on point for new viewers.

That's right. Dulcé Sloan off The Daily Show is a lifelong Red Dwarf fan! She and her family have loved the show since she was a kid, when it first aired in the USA on PBS. Dulcé has great insights all over the place - from why the US remake was doomed to fail, to the genius of Backwards. Which member of the crew did she have a crush on? Is continuity even a thing in Red Dwarf? And is Robert Llewellyn really doing a Canadian accent? We tackle it all. Unpicking series 3 episode 6, The Last Day, Dulcé shows us how it's done…Planned obsolescence. Master-servant dynamics. Crises of faith. What to do when you've got a day left to live.
