  • I look forward to it!

    This is the most enjoyable podcast of my week. The Greenes are always well prepared for their interviews. I’ve sometimes heard an author “make the rounds” of podcasts, and the Catholic Conversation interview is the most engaging of them all. Steve & Becky’s pre-interview banter I find very amusing and endearing. I really look forward to Fridays to see who’s on this week’s show. Thank you!!!
