  • Catholic Excellence

    I love this podcast. Dr. Laurie is thoughtful and provided a lot to chew on. Her perspectives are deeply rooted in Catholic Social Teaching and exploring sides of it that are often ignored and/or neglect by other Catholic thinkers. Really appreciate everything she does.

  • Excellent exploration of big political ideas.

    Was looking for someone who engages with the communitarian critique and I think I’ve hit the jackpot. I hope she keeps looking at other communitarian thinkers like Charles Taylor, and I’d especially like a commentary on Michael Walzer’s Spheres of Justice.
