Show notes

Is YouTube Shorts making us worse people? Why aren't content sites designed with the user in mind anymore? How is Tim Allen doing these days? All these questions, and more, get answered on this week's episode.

Okay the Tim Allen part is a lie, we still aren't sure how he's doing. If you know him, tell him we want him on the podcast.

College of St. Joseph the Worker's Jacob Imam talks with Gomer Dec 15, 2023

Show notes

I was lucky to interview Jacob Imam about the merger between higher education and Catholic social justice principles, especially on the dignity of non-exploitative work and of the trades. Jacob lives in Steubenville, Ohio with his wife and kids and works at New Polity. He and Michael Sullivan launched the now approved College of St. Joseph the Worker.

We Don't Need to Have an Opinion on Everything Nov 21, 2023

Show notes

Things don't need you to judge them. Luke and Gomer discuss not having an opinion on everything, nihilism, Bishop Strickland (for the sweet, sweet download numbers), and how Luke's obsession with boygenius might just make him a secret Gen Z.

Israel, Hamas, and the Consolation of Philosophy Nov 07, 2023

Show notes

We talk about a lot of things but stumble into the Israel-Hamas conflict when Luke brings up WTF with marc maron on his comments. We talk about how theological diagrams won't save us, how philosophy can console us when theology cannot, and how to be human.

Also, Minnie was on the Move in the Carey Apartment and cockroaches the size of my head were on the move at the Gomer Classical Academy.

Will Ministry Ever Pay a Just Wage? Oct 31, 2023

Show notes

Luke and Gomer discuss whether ministry will ever pay a just wage, Marian receptivity, beauty in the grotesque, and all manner of worldy smart-sounding topics. Only one f-bomb was dropped this episode, so keep your ears open for it.

The ratio of pay to workload in ministry is the scariest thing this year. Happy Halloween!
