Welcome to "A Very Different Catholic Podcast"
– a thought-provoking and innovative exploration of faith, spirituality, and the Catholic tradition in the modern world.
What does science say about the mysterious sword of St. Galgano? Why do snakes on the island of Cefalonia congregate around icons of the Blessed Mother on the Feast of the Assumption? What role did St. Teresa of Calcutta play in the Beirut ceasefire of 1982? Join host Christopher Reibold, "The Saint Story Guy" as he brings his signature mix of trivia, storytelling, humor, and personal witness to the cool side of Catholic in this very different podcast.
