In this one off podcast, Pete and Ben discuss the Netflix phenomenon 'Squid Game' which has caused a stir by becoming so popular among young people.

If so, how could it be an opportunity to discuss worldviews and the radical difference the gospel could make to the lives of the people in the show? Warning - spoilers ahead
