    Matt, please change the cover photo! It doesn’t look as sharp or professional as the rest of the content. I’m not sure what the vibe is meant to be - recovering from pints, exhausted after recording, or something else? It comes across as quite undignified next to other podcast covers on my phone. Everyone else is standing or sitting properly, and you’re laying down on a tilted table. (?) A more upright, energetic shot would look much better. Thanks!

  • One Pint In, 34 Episodes Deep

    I’ve recently been listening to the Pints With Aquinas podcast. I discovered it after a friend sent me a link about the Shroud of Turin. I was fascinated, started searching for more content, and eventually found Matt’s episode on the topic. If I remember correctly, it was around three hours long, and honestly one of the best podcast formats I’ve ever listened to.

    After that, I went all the way back to Episode 1 and I’m now on Episode 34. I have no idea how many episodes are left, but I’m pretty... more

  • Conversion

    I began listening to Pints as a student at a Protestant Seminary, I am leaving as a Catholic. This showed played a huge role in my conversion.

    I’d like to add now some years later — I found Pints show helpful when it was in Matt’s Kitchen, when it was in Steubenville, When he employed Thursday, When he was in Florida, and I continue to find him helpful now that he is at Daily Wire.

    By helpful I mean — Matt produces content and interviews people that encourage me love Jesus Christ and want to ... more
