  • What Every Catholic Should Know

    I recently discovered these podcasts and they were exactly what I needed. While relevant to every age, they are helping me become more grounded in the foundations of the Church. The length of each episode is perfect. With so much noise out in the world today they are a wonderful diversion. Great work. Contributed after listening to the first 2 episodes.

  • Historical and theological in depth podcast

    This is one unique podcast. The history alone is worth to learn a lot about the Church. The Roman Catholic Mass connections to Africa was really cool to learn about.

  • So interesting

    First off, I’m not Catholic. I actually belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. But I love this podcast. It’s so well put together. And it’s fascinating and inspiring to learn more about the early Christians, and the sacrifices they made for the cause of Christ. We all owe them so much. Thank you!

  • Quality production

    Great information, extremely well presented, good sound quality (so many of these sound like they were recorded inside a drainage culvert!).
