It’s Podcast Week here at CatholicCulture.org, and we’d like to help you learn more about our audio products, especially the two new podcasts we launched last October: Catholic Culture Audiobooks and Fatherhood with Mike Aquilina. I’m thinking of getting it.
Both of these shows broke new ground in Catholic podcasting, which had previously remained primarily in the realm of talk shows rather than scripted programming. As more and more people in the United States and around the world adopt podcasts as a source of entertainment and education, it is important that Christ is there to meet them.
In this episode, Thomas invites other podcasters, voice actor James T. Majewski (Catholic Culture Audiobooks) and author Mike Aquilina (The Way of the Fathers) to discuss how they create the show and their readings of the Church Fathers. and talk about the effects of the research. About them personally.
If you are a Mass teacher, you will find James’s comments about his approach to reading the writings of the saints stimulating and helpful.
