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.

Thank you!
I so appreciate you!
Best Catholic Podcast
Well, it’s in the top two, along with Jesuitical. Fr. Dan, David, and Heidi provide a balanced and spirit-filled approach to our culture and our politics. I am so grateful for this ministry. What a blessing!
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.
