Huge celebration show planned for the 100th episode! We had 8 guests on this episode, all of which have had a huge impact on the show's history. Everyone was brought together for a grand evening indeed!
This episode has Catholic Twitter written all over it. From our amazing guests (the co-hosts of the Roman Circus podcast), to twitter-less producer Sam somehow being at the center of Catholic Twitter this week, it’s surely a fun episode! We also give you a peek behind the curtains on how the show is made.
This week we find some levity and light in the darkness in the midst of a tough few weeks. We find laughter throughout the show while still addressing the importance of finding hope with the help of some new ideas and a rap song from Taylor’s High School days. Shaun McAfee rejoins the show to talk about his new book “Social Media Magisterium.”
We have to shift gears this week to respond to the recent news of the abuse scandal. We share our own struggles and try to find a light in the darkness. We find levity in the 2nd segment with a fabulous interview with Emma Fradd of NET Australia.
Fun with the new Bible Lens app & two great guests! Catholic Twitch streamer extraordinaire, Jonathan Blevins, joins the show! He is living out the New Evangelization by sharing the Good News on Twitch. We also speak with fellow podcaster Chris Agron about the fantastic art of Catholic memes.
