We are so fortunate to have another special edition of the Listening Chair! As a part of Southwestern College Homecoming, we moved our equipment downstairs in Deets Library, pulled out the Listening Chair from Rev. Wendy Mohler-Seib's office, had the kind folks at Fresh Ideas put together some snacks for us, and had our FIRST audience for our THIRD live show! T'was a blast!

What does Mr. Rogers have to say about the job you chose? Can any good come from singing hungover in a church choir? What can we learn from the things grief takes from us?

All of these and more are explored with our guest, Dr. David Dault. 

Dr. David Dault is the host and executive producer of the award-winning radio program Things Not Seen: Conversations about Culture and Faith. The show is distributed nationwide through PRX, the Public Radio Exchange. Along with Fr. Dan Horan, he co-hosts The Francis Effect, a podcast that explores contemporary political issues through a lens of Catholic faith. He is a graduate of Columbia Theological Seminary and received his Ph.D. in theological studies from Vanderbilt University.
