Solo Podcast Sorta

We did our first podcast without Fr. Dave this week. It felt weird and I missed the rapport we have together--there is something about a priest and layperson dynamic that really does work here.

Still I'm proud of myself for doing it (and we used a large piece from Fr. Dave's Sirius Show with Fr. Jim Martin--so it's not like he's gone completely). Marc Adams is a real kick in the pants too--love that guy.

I'm starting to recruit some Paulists to come on by the podcast studio for what looks like a Wednesday podcasting journey. So we'll try to keep the lay person/priest thing going. Especially since I've already gotten 3 "we miss the rapport that you and Fr. Dave had emails."

Sirius-ly

The new show on Sirius Satellite Radio is off to a rousing start. Fr. Dave Dwyer (who is on every weeknight from 7P-9P Eastern) is a gifted broadcaster and is beginning to move easily into merging God-talk with the technical aspects that radio requires. He takes direction well and is often innovative on his own.

Overall the Catholic Channel is pretty interesting. I particularly like Lino Rulli --the Catholic Guy-who's on from 4-6 on the east coast in Afternoon Drive. Also The Konigs--Susan and Dave are pretty funny when talking about family issues in the early mid day slot. Morning Man Gus Lloyd is solid and an obvious radio veteran. Program Director Rob Astorino does a nice job interviewing Cardinal Egan every Thursday.

Pick up Sirius for yourself or a loved one while the holiday fire sale is still going on. www.sirius.com

Prayers for Father in Law

If you've got a prayer handy...

Drop one for my father-in-law who died this past week. Louis Peracchio, a good guy who got a raw deal--Lived through a wife dying and lots of physical discomfort. He died suddenly at the too young age of 71.

Thanks in advance.

Accents

Very cool quiz and it captured me perfectly.
