Episode #10 – A Priest and a Doctor in the House

We have made it to our tenth episode! In honor of this special show, we met with Paul Camarata of the Saintcast and Fr. Seraphim Beshoner of Catholic Under the Hood on the Plaza in Kansas City. Both of them have fantastic podcasts and we really appreciate the time they took to record an episode with us.

In this episode, we have a “What’s My Line?” comment from our friend, Victoria, who we met at the Catholic New Media Celebration in San Antonio, TX.

During the news segment, we talk about Pope Benedict XVI’s broken wrist and his summer location at Castel Gandalfo. Additionally, how much do you owe on your credit card bill? Pat finds an interesting story about someone whose bill was enormously large.

This week, for our “Help, I’m Fallen” segment, we tackle the problem of healthcare in the United States: What should be done, how does it relate to the dignity of life, and what are the moral decisions behind providing everyone in the United States with access to healthcare. (more…)

Episode #9 – I Can Has Podcast

In this episode, Nick and Pat talk about the news of the day—Nick’s involvement with Catholic Heart Workcamp, Pat’s birthday and Walter Cronkite’s passing.

We have a new “What’s my Line” suggestion from Jeff Young, of CatholicFoodie.com along with some feedback from him about the show, and Nick and Pat work in Brian’s suggestion from the last episode.

Nick and Pat start a new segment called Catholics of Caliber where they highlight a Catholic person of interest. In this episode, we interview Jeff Geerling about LOLSaints.com. We hear about how the site got started and talk with Jeff about some of his other Projects, including Open Source Catholic and his blog, Life is a Prayer. (more…)

Episode #8 – Suits and Sacraments

In this episode, we talk about our initial impressions of the Harry Potter movie. We did stay up late to see the premier showing at midnight. Along with our brief review, we invite our listeners to join us at the Nature’s Call campout at Lake Pomme de Terre over Labor Day weekend.

We continue our discussion about religion in the workplace and have two guests, Nick’s old roommate, Gerard and Steve Nelson from the On The U podcast. The discussion involves how to talk with people who present ideas about your faith that are wrong, praying in a public place and how to know if someone at work is interested in having a talk about faith.

In honor of our guests, we have a special edition of “Chick Flick or Horror Film,” and quiz our guests on three films. See if you can get all three identified correctly. (more…)

Episode #7 – Religion in the Workplace

In this episode, we talk about upcoming events for young adults, including two Labor Day weekend events: Catholic Thrive in New York and Nature’s Call in Kansas City. They also briefly discuss Pope Benedict XVI’s new encyclical, “Caritas in Veritate.”

In the “Stuff we like” segment, we list a few of our favorite podcasts, Busted Halo, This American Life, On the U and the Daily Breakfast. These are podcasts that we find really fascinating and think that you will, too.

Nick decides to quiz Pat on his knowledge of movies in a segment called “Horror Film or Chick Flick?” Did you ever realize that the names of horror films and chick flicks sound very similar? Nick gives some examples along with the movie synopsis and asks Pat to figure out into which genre the movie belongs. (more…)

Episode #6 – Sno-Cones & the Catholic New Media Conference

In this episode, we have two people who called in to give us “What’s My Line” suggestions. Can we work their phrases into the show? The previous weekend, Pat and Nick were in San Antonio for the Catholic New Media Conference and visited the Alamo. While there, we pose the question: “Davy Crockett or Chuck Norris, who would win?” Pat talks to a sno-cone vendor who has penguins on her cart.

How often do you work to listen to God during the week? In our Help, I’m Fallen segment, we talk about how praying is not a one way street and then challenge people to spend some time in Eucharistic Adoration this week.

We wrap up the show with an interview with Nicholas of the Catholic Company, one of the sponsors of CNMC ‘09 and a piece of feedback we received about our mention of Getting Things Done, by David Allen. (more…)
