Patrick opens with thoughts on how smartphones at the table subtly alter relationships, then fields calls about forgotten saints like Hildegard of Bingen, the oddities of canonization, and whether attending a bridal shower at a cohabiting couple’s place sends the wrong message. Questions zigzag across everything from the possibility of George Harrison’s late return to faith, the connection between classic movie scores and traditional masterpieces, to the enigma of why people say "River Jordan" instead of "Jordan River." Humor, moral wrestling, and unpredictable detours abound as Patrick guides listeners through faith, music, and modern life’s small provocations.
