Insightful and Accessible!

Jake’s podcast is the ideal blend of deep philosophical insight with witty, lighthearted banter. Serious topics are routinely covered in an accessible way. Definitely subscribe to this one if you’re interested in deepening your understanding of the Catholic faith and its rich philosophical tradition.

Cool synthesis of economics and theology

I really like the way in which Jake looks not only on catholic teaching but also how it cashes out in the real world. We can’t be hearers of the word only but doers. To me, this podcast is perfectly balances the academic and pragmatic elements.
