The BeatiDudes

Dave Palmer returns to The BeatiDudes, and man, does he have Summa to talk about!Dave Palmer serves as the General Manager for the local station of the Guadalupe Radio Network in North Texas, KATH 910am. Additionally, Dave is an educator and an expert on the Summa Theologiae. The Summa Theologiae or Summa Theologica, often referred to simply as the #Summa, is the best-known work of Thomas Aquinas (1225–1274), a scholastic theologian and Doctor of the Church. It is a compendium of all the main theological teachings of the Catholic Church, intended to be an instructional guide for theology students, including seminarians and the literate laity. Presenting the reasoning for almost all points of Christian theology in the West, topics of the Summa follow the following cycle: God; Creation, Man; Man's purpose; Christ; the Sacraments; and back to God.Listen to the Guadalupe Radio NetworkDownload the AppDave’s YouTube channel on the SummaOur Partners:Sock Religious (10% Discount)Solidarity HealthShareAquinas Wealth AdvisorsSpoke Street MediaThe Catholic Card GameDivine ComedyUndivided LifeFollow The BeatiDudes:BeatiDudes WebsiteLinkedInFacebookInstagramTwitterJeff Schiefelbein on LinkedInBeatiDudes Theme Song and Music ByThe Pencil Bureau

After interviewing others on Catholic radio for decades, Dave Palmer, General Manager for the Guadalupe Radio Network in North Texas, joins The BeatiDudes as a special guest for one of the funniest episodes across all three seasons. Early in his career, Dave was inspired by late-night host David Letterman's path and decided to be a weatherman, hoping to break into comedy. Yes, you read that correctly. Throughout his career, Dave has also served as a theology teacher, a morning DJ on a local hit radio station, and an online expert on St Thomas Aquinas’s Summa Theologica. This show covers a little bit of everything, including trust in the Lord, marriage, humor, and the call to holiness in all of our workplace vocations. On Blessed are the Joke Makers, the Dudes must take on the persona of someone from the past or from the future to address the prompt, “What should I give up for Lent?” The TBD question of the day: complete this sentence… State your name, and then say what you hate.On Reverse Simpsons, we hand the show over to Dave Palmer to serve as the host.
