Two theologians walk into a bar... No, seriously: This podcast is about the real world of politics and current events, seen through the lens of Catholic teaching and spirituality. Your hosts, Fr. Dan Horan and David Dault, bring you a mix of perspectives, from Abbey Road to Metaphysical Graffiti. Dan is a Franciscan friar and Catholic priest. David is a radio producer and Catholic convert. They both have doctorates in theology. It is the best possible kind of nerdy.

Customer Reviews
Great informative conversations
I have really been appreciating this podcast over the past year. I have learned so much and feel like I have had a ring-side seat into the Catholic conversations going on in the USA. I wish they would broadcast more often! I am waiting impatiently for the next season to begin.
Informative, Interesting, and Helpful
The hosts all bring interesting perspectives to questions of faith, spirituality, and the role of religion in our daily lives. I’ve learned a lot about Catholicism and Christianity generally. I think this show is a great resource for religious and non-religious people alike, to learn how to co-exist and support each other through the complicated journey of life.
Gods Work
This is better than a podcast, it’s guys living their lives and expressing theme selves through their vocation/personhoood using microphones to enable all of us to get better. Love it.
