- Depressing
One sided glorification of jd Vance’s ignorant speech. He met the leader of the AFD an organisation that wants closer ties with Russia.
Maybe present a balance view? As many many catholics I know were appalled at his speech.

United Kingdoma year ago - Intelligent AND accessible
Wonderful podcast on current issues affecting the Church and Western culture. Intelligent without being arrogant and very accessible to the thoughtful listener. Dr Ashenden is an excellent interviewer and well-versed in so many issues in his own right. He conveys warmth, friendliness and genuine interest, all without rambling. I am so grateful to have found this fantastic resource!
