I haven\u2019t done a podcast spotlight in a while and there really are some excellent new entries. I am always looking for intelligent Catholic podcasts that I have some heft to them. Something that goes beyond just the apologetics that I can get from other quality shows.<\/p>\n
Fr. Spitzer answers viewer questions on a wide range of subjects, including: Reason, Faith, Suffering, Virtue, and the Existence of God.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I loved his book New Proofs for the Existence of God: Contributions of Contemporary Physics and Philosophy<\/a> and Finding True Happiness: Satisfying Our Restless Hearts (Happiness, Suffering, and Transcendence)<\/a> and how well his navigates and integrates science, theology, and philosophy. These tendencies are also evident in this podcast that goes deep on various subjects while also answering viewer questions.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately I could not find an RSS feed to subscribe to for this show other than the EWTN podcast feed that includes all of their shows<\/a>. This page lists feeds for individual shows<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Word on Fire Show<\/h3>\n
Bishop Robert Barron\u2019s longtime homily podcast \u201cWord on Fire\u201d has been a long time favorite of mine. Added to this is a new show where show host Brandon Vogt and Bishop Barron discuss a wealth of topics along with answering a viewer\u2019s question. This roughly 30 minute format makes for great conversations that often lead me to adding books to my wish list.<\/p>\n

Catholic Production Podcast<\/h3>\n
As a podcast name, this one would be easy to pass over. Appears to be named after the Catholic Productions<\/a> site which seems mainly to be maintained by Scripture Scholar and Theologian Dr. Brant Pitre.<\/p>\n
The focus of this podcast is an examination of the Sunday readings at Mass. Shows average from roughly 20 to 30 minutes and give tons of insight into the readings on multiple levels. I so look forward to this show weekly as Dr. Pitre\u2019s palpable excitement in discussing scripture and theology is inspiring. I so hope this show never pod-fades as I find it indispensable now.<\/p>\n

Laudet Dominum<\/h3>\n
This is a homily podcast from Fr. Cory Sticha. A pastor of several parishes in Montana who I got acquainted with via social media and his appearances on podcasts for SQPN.<\/p>\n
I have been known to complain about the quality of homilies I often hear. But instead of just complaining I found it better to subscribe to the good homily podcasts out there. I totally enjoy Fr. Sticha\u2019s homilies as they are filled with the spiritual wealth from the Church. I also like that in fairly short homilies that he can pack in so much. Another bonus is that these homilies are often available in a very short turnaround after he has recorded them. So whether it is Sunday or a Solemnity you can count on them being available. I can\u2019t say the same for EWTN\u2019s homily podcast.<\/p>\n
