Customer Reviews
American Catholic History
I truly love this podcast. The Crowes have introduced me to so many inspiring Catholics from so many walks of life from priests to actors and coaches. There’s an award given to parishioners in our diocese called the Brute Award. Since listening to ACH I now know the origin of the name. I recommend ACH to anyone who will listen to me!!
History I never knew before
A great podcast for learning about only American Catholic History. The episodes I have listened to have always made me go “wow, that was cool to learn about” one that sticks out especially is the episode on Mark Twain. Very nice podcast, keep up the good work!
New History
Thank you for revealing the American History I never heard in public school. It’s all brand new to me, and I’m loving every episode!
