More McGrady with Katie

The Fiat Girls series invites girls ages 7–11 into the childhoods of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, St. Rose of Lima, and St. Teresa of Calcutta (Mother Teresa) through historical fiction inspired by their real lives.

Eliza Monts has founded Always Human, an organization raising awareness about the personal, relational, and societal harms of using chatbot AI. She shares about the new nonprofit with Katie.

Katie visited Catholic Charities' People of Hope Museum on its stop in Lake Charles, Louisiana, and visited with the Director of Catholic Charities SWLA to hear about the great work happening in this region.

Kelly Clarkson wanted to buy a $15,000 bird from a story in Brooklyn. The store treated her poorly (in her words) and the bird wasn't sold, and a social media kerfuffle ensued.

The People of Hope Museum is making its way to Louisiana with three stops in Lake Charles, Baton Rouge, and Lafayette starting October 19, and the Katie McGrady Show will be there LIVE.

The Vatican hasn't always been known as the most upfront and transparent when it comes to the health of the Pope. John XXIII's cancer wasn't shared until a few days before he died. They never called John Paul II's progressing disease parkinson's. Pope Francis was on death's door for weeks, and we were told he was doing fine, and recovering slowly. But now, in 2026, Pope Leo XIV announced his own surgery and health updates are being given with great detail about the prognosis, tests being run, and what to expect from here on out. It's a new day in papal health news, and Katie is breaking down what's unfolding, why it's remarkable, and what we can expect to come from here with regard to Pope Leo's lung cancer diagnosis.

The Sailing Grace Cruise sets sail January 22, 2028, and YOU can join the Katie McGrady Show on the high seas for a week of culture, food, fun, fellowship, formation, and celebration.

Archbishop Timothy Broglio, Archbishop of the Military Services, joins Katie live to discuss his statement condemning the planned livestream execution scheduled for December 3.

Pope Leo surprised the world by announcing he is having a small, very well localized lung nodule removed via surgery this week. What does this mean and how worried should we be (spoiler alert: not too worried)

Katie used to really dislike praying the rosary. Until one day, she didn't.
