I'm still Buddhist, but.. In my journey towards, away from, around Christianity I've been listening to UCB2 radio... A Christian radio station from the UK.
Some of the talk on there I find quite nice and encouraging (although the music is a bit bland at times)..

My questions...

A) Do you listen to Christian radio sand find it helpful?

B) Can you recommend any stations/online radio, especially that have a bit more chat and explanation, discussion, encouragement, support etc. I would prefer UK stations if possible...

Thank you..

Nope. If I want to listen to something that's not music-related while in my car I usually put on an audio book. I've picked up a number of audio books on Audible that I listen to on longer drives. For the sake of keeping this relevant to this thread, most of what I listen to are books on theology and the like.

As for music, I don't listen to a lot of "Christian music"; I still do but I tend to limit it to more traditional music or a very small handful of musicians/bands that identify as Christian. The overwhelming majority of popular "Christian music" is vapid and uninteresting. Though I will admit that I will listen to a number of songs or musicians that my parents listened to when I was growing up, generally for the nostalgia factor.

I'm in the US, I don't listen to podcasts much, but I feel confident in recommending Just And Sinner, Pastor Jordan Cooper's podcast which addresses all sorts of things from a confessionally Lutheran perspective. While I haven't listened to his podcast much, I have watched a number of his videos on YouTube, hence why I feel confident in recommending him. This may not be exactly what you're looking for, but it's likely all I really can offer on this front.
