I’m disappointed in the tone of some of the recent reviews! Please listen to the March 11 episode “U.S. culture has a contempt problem".
The episode against euthanasia showed me that this podcast has become far too conservative for me.
Good show in several respects, but you’re not competent discussing political matters without outing yourselves as auxiliaries of legacy media. Misrepresents the Catholic Church.
Although I agree that Fr; Mulcahy is one of the best known and beloved priests in a television series, no one on the show mentioned Kevin Anderson as Fr. Francis Reyneaux in “Nothing Sacred.” Fr. Francis played a modern, post Vatican II priest in the late 90’s. The show was partially written by Fr. Bill Cain, S.J..
I kept waiting for some one to mention the show or Fr. Bill. But never heard any mention of this modern show.

I love the conversational tone of the hosts who have a sense of humor but also love of the faith and the Catholic church. They keep me informed about the latest news in the Catholic church and take a deep dive into many different interesting topics
