The speed of presentation makes for a challenge for the older audience. I’ve had lots of training in the details you discuss, but your conversation’s structure is beyond me. May I suggest a preview of topics, and reminders dropped in, of the outlined topics?

Heard about this podcast while listening to Fr. Gregory Pine read and analyze St. Augustine’s Confessions on the Catholic Classics podcast. Have listened to a few episodes of Godsplaining thus far and found them to be intellectually and spiritually stimulating as well as interesting and entertaining. Just pre-ordered Fr. Pine’s book, Training the Tongue, which he discusses in the most recent episode.
