Customer Reviews
I love this podcast, and everything about it
I love this podcast, and everything about it
Edifying and entertaining
This podcast has a great vibe - like listening to discussions people of faith might have in a pub or coffee shop. Compelling and challenging topics are explored with faith, wisdom, and a good dash of humour.
Beautiful way to connect
Listening to the Archbishop and hearing his response to complicated questions is very reassuring and uplifting. It is impossible for one person or The Church to connect on a personal level with thousands of people. With this format, it allows us to listen in on conversations and answer questions that many of us have without being in a one on one conversation. Thank you and please keep up your good works!
P.S. It has been 1 year since I started listening and it remains the podcast that I reach for first out of all the podcasts that I subscribe to.
