In the latest episode of Alone Together - A Coronavirus Podcast, the team finds out how religious communities are staying connected during lockdown, through embracing technology.

Join Laudable podcast producers Matt Millard and Morven McIntyre as they learn more about both the practising of Christain and Muslim faiths during the lockdown and how they’ve adapted now that they can no longer visit their place of worship.

And you’ll learn how the holiest month of the Muslim calendar, Ramadan, has been adapted during lockdown through the use of technology. Practising Muslim, Tanzeer Rahaman from Bolton shares his experience of fasting and reaching out to others and how technology plays a role in this.
