  • Uber Intelligent Australian

    I very much enjoy listening to Matt’s podcast, especially since he often spends time discussing non-Catholic ideas like Islam, Mormonism, and even the history of the crusades. Matt is a brilliant questioner, and he invites hosts from a wide variety of backgrounds. I don’t smoke or drink, but his fun accent more than compensates. Keep up the good work, sir.

  • Not for me

    This is a strange "Catholic" podcast for me. I followed as soon as I found it thinking I had finally found something that could indulge my interests in both history and my faith with maybe a bit of humor and reality.

    The one episode I listened to made a weird joke about women which on top of being just plain misogynistic/ not very Christian, felt very out of place to the conversation they were having. Very weird to make a comment like that, not discuss what was meant by it at all, continue pre... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Can You Actually Know Anything? Epistemology for Normal People (Dr. Trent Dougherty) | Ep. 571
Q: What is knowledge, and should we care about defining it at all?
Knowledge is best understood as justified belief, where justification depends on the strength and coherence of the supporting evidence and experiences; the emphasis is on justification rather than a fixed, absolute notion of knowledge.
Enchantment in a Disenchanted Age (Dr. Martin Shaw) | Ep. 570
Q: What sparked your interest in a wilderness rite of passage and your pivot toward writing liturgical myth?
A long-standing love of stories and a pivotal four-year tent life evolved into a deep encounter with the divine, reshaping his sense of purpose and leading to a vocation as a storyteller and author.
Why Mormonism Denies God's Existence (Joe Heschmeyer) | Ep. 567
Q: How many gods would Brigham Young say they were?
Jacob was asked almost this direct question, because the question he was asked was whether God the Father had a god that he worshiped. What did he say? We don't know.
Why Mormonism Denies God's Existence (Joe Heschmeyer) | Ep. 567
Q: Do they believe in Biblical inerrancy?
No, so they, Joseph Smith articulated that the Bible was, you know, divinely inspired as it was originally written, but that leaves open the idea, as you get in Islam as well, that oh, well, maybe the manuscripts were corrupted.
Why Mormonism Denies God's Existence (Joe Heschmeyer) | Ep. 567
Q: Why are Mormons atheists?
Philosophically, yes, they are. And that matters for some important reasons. Psychologically, no, they're not.
