It's Episode 400! Oct 17, 2023

Show notes

It's episode 400! And it went up late...some things never change.

Amanda, the Ministry of Agency Herself, shows up this week. She's a fellow Steubie U (wink, nudge) graduate, and it's sure to be a good time.

For centuries, many men and women have left everything to give their lives to contemplation.  FREE is a journey into the inner self of man. We have obtained permission to enter and talk to people who rarely utter a word, in places that remain closed to the world: THE MONASTERIES.  

What leads a person to strip himself of the world he knows, to withdraw from it for the rest of his life? How does such a person think? FREE approaches great questions of man's existence, with only one objective: to listen to them.

Go see FREE on Thursday, Nov 2! Check out the trailer below and the website linked below to buy your ticket.

Is it a Sin to Not Send Your Kids to Catholic Schools? Oct 10, 2023

Show notes

There's only so much Fr. David Hust to go around, so it's back to just Luke and Gomer. They talk Catholic schools (again), creativity and ADHD, and how nonprofits can learn from the for-profit sector.

Let's Get Mad About Catholic Schools Sep 26, 2023

Show notes

It's a classic Catching Foxes episode this week, so strap in. Gomer finds a productivity religion, Luke already found one, apparently, and they both get mad about mediocre Catholic schools. Enjoy!

The Ark, the Dove, and the Gomer Sep 23, 2023

Show notes

Riverside wasn't terribly kind to us this time, but after technical issues, we're back!

We're Luke-less this week. However, like the hydra, we've added three heads after losing one. That's roughly how that myth goes, I'm pretty sure.

It's a great conversation about race and Catholicism. Strap in and prepare to be varying degrees of uncomfortable. It's good for you.

Going to Austria in My Mind Sep 12, 2023

Show notes

Normally Luke and Gomer reminisce about college without a strong purpose. This time, they reminisce so The Mothership will tweet this episode. Please?

Luke and Gomer discuss five things they each brought back from their time in Franciscan's Austria program and how those lessons apply to them as actually grown adults.

If you didn't believe they were elder Millennials, Gomer unironically says the phrase "school slapped different," three separate times. We give him points for trying. Play this audio Where's Waldo with us and see if you can find all three!

Just Let the Thing Be its Thing Sep 05, 2023

Show notes

Luke and Gomer talk about our Western obsession with constant growth.

Also on the docket for today's episode: flying is the worst, men are dumb in groups (but amicably fun), divorce (yikes), and Apple Vision Pro (again). Enjoy!

Ten Minute Topics? On a Tuesday? Too Good to be True! Aug 22, 2023

Show notes

We're changing our upload schedule! Turns out people listen to more podcasts on Tuesdays than Fridays and we need that sweet, sweet ad money.

We've got a fun round of Ten Minute Topics for this one! Highlights include silverback gorillas, the Catholic imagination, and FHA loans. If that set of topics doesn't intrigue you, frankly, we don't know what will. See you next Tuesday!
