Catching Foxes
Luke and Gomer
Luke and Gomer became friends Freshman year at the Franciscan University of Steubenville and 14 years later they started a podcast. The show oscillates between a conversation between just the two of us and interviews that we do together of other, fancier people. Sometimes we get explicit either by being too honest or by being too stupid. Either way, it's fun!

Episode 3: I Watch Mad Men for the Suits
SHOW NOTES
In this episode we talk movies and TV shows that edge on the "too" side of the Catholic moral equation: too much violence and too much sex. We discuss why some bad movies are actually good and some good movies are bad. Case in point, those terrible family-friendly Christian movies. Sure, they are good in moral content, but they are bad in artistic value, which may mean it's just plain bad and should be avoided.
How do you navigate the world of contemporary media, with shows like Mad Men, The Walking Dead, and Breaking Bad are so well done, but have huge immoral elements in it? Hear Gomer rationalize his illegal downloading past and listen to Luke sing the Blockbuster Video jingle from yesteryear.

Episode 2: My Poofy Hair
SHOW NOTES
Luke talks about why he didn't have girlfriends in middle school. Gomer challenges him on that, but ultimately agrees. Then we dive into something rather important. In San Francisco the Archbishop tries to get teachers listed as "ministers" and to get them to sign a statement of belief that clearly defines hot button issues (cough gay marriage cough) and requires one's full assent as a teacher to these views.
We discuss the merits of such a signed statement, especially in the context of a lack of evangelism and solid catechesis.The Official Page of the BackStreet Boys

Episode 1: Create, Don't Just Consume
This is the kick-off episode of my new podcast show, "Catching Foxes" with my pal Luke. We will talk about culture and it's impact on young adults living their faith. In this first episode, we basically introduce the show, each other, and do our first rant. At one point I slipped away to the bathroom, in which Luke decided to ask me a question. Whoops!Support Catching Foxes
