Saintly
Ol’ Paul’s becoming St. Paul. Maybe he should let up a bit on Catholic history. I’m about to revise my history listening habits.
Review
I already donate. Have listened for around 2 years? Paul, every podcast you present is excellent! I hope the administrative imbroglios stay out of your way. ✊
Paul, I just spent 90 min catching up on your podcasts (wrapping Xmas gifts) as well as listening to several multiple times as I am not an auditory learner.
Your work is awesome. I will once again post about your awesome work on my FB page.
Stop the Rants
Please stop the rants. I listen to this podcast to learn something new on my morning walks. There are so many interesting topics to explore.
Also, it would be interesting for you to debunk many of myths around Hank Williams - Was it severe spina bifida that led to his drug and alcohol abuse? I don’t know? Debunk please.
Also, there are a ton of misconceptions around Eleanor Roosevelt and Mary Todd Lincoln. Please set the record straight.
Lastly, you seem to be interested in Catholic history. Not too long ago I was in Lourdes, France. It would be interesting to understand why it was so important to the Pope at the time to make Lourdes, this little town in the Pyrenees a new pilgrimage site. Were there political reasons as well? Or was it just that Bernadette saw an apparition of Mary that explained to her the Immaculate Conception?
