Growing up in the 90s there was no bigger show for me than Saturday Night Live, and no bigger cast member than Chris Farley. When I was a student at Marquette University, I used to imagine fellow alum, Farley, running late for class through the academic yard … as seen in the movie Tommy Boy. Anytime I share my story of touring and living in a van for two years it is almost guaranteed someone wittingly responds, “Was it down by a river?” – a quote from Chris Farley’s iconic motivational speaker character, Matt Foley. I have always felt a strong connection to Chris especially after I heard that he was a practicing Catholic, like myself. I have always related to the very honest and human sweet/troubled reality that Chris lived. Not for any glorified reasons but rather for its honest, hopeful, and redemptive qualities. Chris was not perfect and neither am I. I have always felt like I could relate to him, though never knowing him, somewhat on that level. So when I found out that his SNL character Matt Foley was named after his college rugby buddy turned Catholic priest, Army Chaplin, and Afghanistan veteran, Father Matt Foley – and Fr. Matt lived an hour and a half away from me – I thought, I absolutely have to meet this man and talk about who he is, his friend Chris, their relationship, and their faith. Enjoy Time & The Mystery: Conversations with Father Matt Foley.

To describe D.A Wallach in one word is impossible. One sentence? Near impossible. In one podcast? You be the judge. While attending Harvard University, D.A’s newly formed band, Chester French, made a bold decision … to stop playing shows. Instead, they got jobs at the university’s studio, learned the trade and made a record. This decision lead to a bidding war between Kanye West & Pharrell Williams, touring the world, a 2nd record, a cameo in the movie La La Land and his current passion, investing in the sciences. Above all of these accomplishments, what impressed Mike the most was how incredibly kind and enjoyable D.A is to be with. So, pull up the chair, put your thinking caps on and plug into this episode of Time & The Mystery: Conversations with D.A Wallach.

When Mike began playing shows at Marquette University, few Milwaukee artists were making things happen on a national level. Peter Mulvey, who is ten years older, had the label, the records, the tour dates and artist collaborations to inspire any budding musician.

Peter’s songwriting, voice and technical skill are second only to his heart and humanity. On a warm summer morning, these two troubadours came together and journeyed deep into the essence of performance, the mystery and … bike riding. Join them in this episode of Time & The Mystery: Conversations with Peter Mulvey.
