Fantastic
This is a podcast that will teach you important things about the Catholic faith in a very fun and entertaining way. I hope this podcast will reach people all over the world!!! Very well done!
Eclectic
I like the varied nature of the topics. I have certainly improved my knowledge of scripture from listening. I don't agree with everything but none the lest the perspectives are interesting.
Helped me to take the step
I find these podcasts really up-lifting. I find them stimulating and challenging. They have helped me to take the next step in discerning whether I have a vocation or not.
Yes, the banter can be a tad irritating. Stick with it, however, and these priests end up feeling like friends.
