Catholic family friendly podcast

Dom and Fr. Hines are smart, funny guys who discuss a lot of the same things I am interested in: music, entertainment, New England sports, and the Catholic faith. For those who follow SQPN podcasts, this show flows nicely with previous and current offerings from that network (like The Rosary Army, Catholic in a Small Town, Just a Catholic Dad, Catholic Family podcasts). Now that some shows have either ended or gone on sabbatical, it is great that this show has started.
