In this first ever interview of a fellow podcaster, Madeline chats with PJ Caraher, a software engineer and CTO at a maturing start up and a co-host of the Father and Dad podcast, a podcast he co-hosts with his son and her good friend Steven Caraher. During their conversation, they chat about many things including familial expectations and discernment, thinking beyond society's paradigms, the importance of physical connection, anti-fragility, and so much more!

In the course of their conversation, they make many references that you can further explore. Among their many references include the 35th and 45th episodes of Catholic Stuff You Should Know, Einstein: His Life and Universe by Walter Isaacson, the Bible in a Year podcast,  The Reality Bug by D.J. Machale, 1984 by George Orwell, and Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton.

Additionally, if you're interested in learning more about PJ's journey with his son Steven as Steven experiences life as a seminarian, Madeline highly recommends checking out the Father and Dad podcast. They specifically reference the first episode of season 3!

In honor of all the tangents that Madeline and PJ went on in this episode, Madeline also invites you to count how many times they say the word "tangent" in this episode and comment the number on the accompanying social media posts!
