    This podcast is fantastic. I love hearing about the saints, and the presenters on this podcast do an excellent job giving us brief but informative episodes about them. There is a great balance of personal stories, historical context, and spiritual insight. Thank you to the Augustine Institute team.

  • Great podcats but need to slow down whrn talking

    Love this podcast and very informative. Most of the people talking, while they’re explaining something important, talk so fast that just looses its meaning. Im sure they’re very informed and knowledgeable but we want to understand too. Sometimes it seems theyre talking to themselves.

  • Needs Work

    This podcast is an excellent idea but needs a lot of work to rise to its potential. Most importantly, they should really go into more detail about the Saints they cover. Further, production seems sloppy. One recent episode does the Augustine Institute promo read twice in a row. Also, the presenters don’t deliver well, making it not the most pleasant to listen to.
