He co-authored an important book about the Covid scam titled The Price of Panic, and has a new one out, that does many things well, including explaining the difference between conservative and based; and scores of examples of fallacies and how to spot them. A very enjoyable exchange with a natural raconteur, practicing Catholic, and man of hard science and logic. 👉Resources mentioned in this episode: Everything You Believe Is Wrong by William M. Briggs The (entertaining and enlightening) Briggs blog The Price of Panic: How the Tyranny of Experts Turned a Pandemic into a Catastrophe, by William Briggs, Douglas Axe, and Jay Richards.

You may not know it, but he has probably made you laugh.” Harry Shearer (The Simpsons, NPR, This Is Spinal Tap) called him “a semi-precious stone in the crown of comedy,” appellations Leopold treasures. Indeed, he may well be one of the most prolific and successful comedy writers ever, having written for sitcoms in the US and the UK, material for Bob Hope, Lucille Ball, Jonathan Winters, Michael McKean, Chris Guest, Chevy Chase, et al. Raised Jewish, the natural raconteur was baptized and received into the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil in 2011. The conservative-minded comedy writer and one-time actor has some fascinating insights into what we call the culture, especially important for the Covid-19 lockdown. In this episode you will learn Whether comedy is a skill you learn or must be born with How his father’s storytelling tradition shaped young Tom’s imagination What it’s like to meet, and write jokes for, your heroes The time Vice President Mike Pence served him a coffee on Air Force Two enroute to Cleveland where Pence was set to give a talk written by Leopold The meaning of “comedy is tragedy plus time” and “death is easy, comedy is hard” How Jews and Catholics share a love of story Resources mentioned in this episode Episode 5 (wow!) of The Patrick Coffin Show with Tom Leopold about his conversion Jonathan Winters stand up act “The Talent Show.” Don Rickles at Ronald Reagan’s 1985 inaugural ball Eddie Murphy’s first Tonight Show appearance (1982).

Melchior? Balthasar? Camels?) to the biblical story arose The multiple meanings of “the East” for the Jewish people How the arrival and worship of the Magi set the Incarnation onto an international setting How to see the accretions of the Magi part of the story with Santa Claus and the original story of St. Nicholas Resources recommended in this episode: Mystery of the Magi: The Quest to Identify the Three Wise Men by Dwight Longenecker More Christianity by Dwight Longenecker Life of Christ by Fulton J.

This episode debuted six years ago, and I could think of no better show to honor my all-time favorite movie, Frank Capra’s It’s a Wonderful Life (1947)  through the eyes of two women with close ties to its creation. If Mr. Capra didn’t write it, why do I call it “Frank Capra’s It’s a Wonderful Life? It’s because that’s how the movie was marketed, which helps explain why the film got only a so-so reception when it was first released. Most of Mr. Capra’s pre-World War II movies were so sweet-hearted that they later earned the moniker “Capracorn,” not meant as a compliment. It’s a Wonderful Life is one of the most critically acclaimed films ever made. Nominated for five Academy Awards including Best Picture, recognized by the American Film Institute as one of the 100 best American films ever made, and placed number 11 on its initial 1998 greatest movie list, it also ranked number one on its list of the most inspirational American films of all time. Think about that. In light of the fact that hundreds of thousands of movies have been made, this is a jaw-dropping achievement. By the end of the Second World War, though, the mood of the movie-going public had shifted, as I wrote about the making of the movie in National Review a few years ago HERE. The next day after it was published, an appreciative email from a woman named Mary Owen arrived in my inbox. Turns out, Mary is the daughter of actress Donna Reed, who played Mary Bailey, the wife of James Stewart’s George Bailey. I thanked her for the lovely email and we had a few back-and-forths. After my podcast was up on two feet and spreading around the world (110 countries and counting), I thought it would be fun to have her on the show to talk about her mother’s role in this now-international favorite Christmas movie and to learn some back story to her mother’s career and her commitment to writing back to the G.I’s who wrote to her from the trenches and the gun turrets of World War II. The interview segues nicely into the next one, a rich conversation with actress Karolyn Grimes who played Zuzu, one of the four Bailey kids. Remember Zuzu’s petals? This was a real treat for me who loves the movie so well, and I know it will be for you as well.

This week’s guest is a mentor and kind of spiritual mother to Milo Yiannopoulos (whose very candid interview with me was Episode 101) and wrote the bracing Foreword to his latest book (see link below). Dr Rachel Fulton Brown is a tenured professor of history at the University of Chicago, and a renowned medieval scholar with a speciality in the area of devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. She is also a fervent convert to the Catholic Faith. In this episode we dive deep into the biblical and historical roots of the role of the Blessed Mother in salvation history, and suggest ways to answer objections to the truth about Mary. In this episode you will learn: Why we say Mary is the Mother of God and not just the Mother of Jesus Why all Marian doctrine is Christological in nature How the medieval era got things right regarding the role of Mary in the life of the Church When devotion to Mary went into eclipse and how to revive it Why Our Lady is a powerful intercessor for all mankind, not just Catholics The reason why all the titles of Mary in all the litanies can never exhaust her beauty nor the full truth about her person and mission.

You see them everywhere, staring vacantly at their glowing screens in restaurants, amusement park line-ups, in churches, park benches, and family dining room tables. In his book Glow Kids, Dr. Nicholas Kardaras has laid his finger on a growing problem that few are willing to tackle let alone diagnose and treat. Some people even argue that glowing screens might even be good for kids as a form of interactive educational tool. This interview will shed light on the causal connection between smart phone use and school shootings, lethargy, and general anger management issues (notice how kids react when their visual drug is taken from them!)

David Torkington is a Spiritual Theologian, Author, Lecturer and Broadcaster who specializes in Prayer, Christian Spirituality and Mystical Theology. For the past fifty years he has been communicating to his audience his profound love of the traditional and authentic Mystical and Biblical Theology that has inspired all his writings on prayer. During his twelve year s as Director of a London Retreat and Conference Centre , followed by his tenure as the Dean of Studies at the Nation al Catholic Radio and Television Centre in London , he gained direct experience of the decline in the moral and spiritual life of the Church. After lecturing on Mystical theology at the invitation of the Angelicum, the Dominican University in Rome , he has spent the rest of his life trying to inspire Catholics with the truth. That is to return without delay to the profound contemplative spirituality bequeathed to the early Church by Jesus Christ himself and its development from St Paul , to St Teresa of Avila and St John of the Cross. He has written ten books on prayer and the spiritual life, some of which have been translated into thirteen languages.
