CST 722: Like…Kanawha County

CST 721: Can’t Win ‘em All
All boat rides can’t be the best, especially when you are all mad at each other and you forget to fill the tank! Inside Out 2 is fun and Shogun is probably not good for the soul… which you won’t really know until you’ve (once again) done some soul-searching about your media consumption.

Customer Reviews
Great podcast
I love how they are humorous and they still talk about the faith
2 brilliant apples from the (un) Barron tree
Wow oh wow oh wow!! Does Ben Barron sound just like his dad! Every time I hear Ben speak I think it has to be very similar to the younger Mac Barron. It’s uncanny. Ben and Sam’s review of the movie Moonlight was very entertaining. I especially loved how they characterized Oscar Isaac as being from Star Wars and no other movie or show. I only know Oscar Isaac from the HBO show Scenes from a Marriage . Perspective of two different ages. Mac and Katherine,I’ve said it before and I will say it again, you certainly are doing a fine job with these boys and I look forward to many years of their productions in the studio.
Five Stars because Ten is not an Option!
Enjoy listening to Catholic In A Small Town while running in my small town.
