“This blog is rather like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say.

Thank you for all the great podcasts and the hard work you put into them. What a gift to us! I don’t know how you manage to do all that you do, but you are appreciated!
Yeah father, I really love your podcasts. Please keep them coming!
Fr. Z.,
I always enjoy your dissection of the prayers and the music that accompanies your podcasts. Personally, having been a literature major, those Don Camillo’s are great! Please keep them coming. They are both edifying and hilarious. My kids have enjoyed my retelling of the stories too.
I have all 91 on my iPod with room for many more!
I have downloaded and listened to all but the last two. I know you look at the stats
and can see the activity, but I wanted to also let yu know how much I appreciate them.

better than most of what my students put together! They are very polished.
Keep up the good work.

Your podcasts I’m sure help a lot more than you think.
This past weekend I had to fly twice and I have major anxiety attacks about flying so…I took Fr. Z’s last two podcasts on the plane with me and the rosary. Our Lady and you kept me great company through the flights, and charitable to my neighbors who would not sit down and stop making little yelping sounds everytime the plane shook a little. Very comforting to hear a priests voice and have Our Lady’s company in the rosary as well.
Thank you!
