  • 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
