LOL Wright's claim that Christ declared all foods clean in Mark 7 and that is evidence that Christ somehow taught no difference between Jew and Gentile is lunacy. That is an awful translation of what Christ said and does not fit the context of His language at all. Even the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops website contains in its footnotes of Mark 7 that the language does not mean Christ did away with unclean food laws there. Also, it makes the vision given to Peter in Acts 10 to teach that Peter just didn't get what Crist taught over 3+ years or something awful about Peter's capacity to learn the truth from Christ.
This is a good interviewer, asks great questions

one of my favourite new testament scholars

One could easily and kindly disagree with another's interpretation without calling them a lunatic.
