There has been a recent stream of religious and laity rallying to the cause of traditional Catholicism. I am joined by brothers, David and Michael Massey who, in a riveting and passionate explanation, speak on Archbishop Lefebvre, Archbishop Vigano, Vatican II, and many of the issues that confront, concern and confuse Catholics today. We also knock over some great red wines in the process. Enjoy! 

Professor Christopher Hovens is Principal Research Fellow at Royal Melbourne Hospital, specialising in cancer research. We discussed whether the sciences support religion, and the reasons why Chris has remained staunch in his Catholic faith. Enjoy! 

In this week's podcast we discuss everything from travelling through North Korea to abandoning atheism. Tune into the Lounge Room to hear my recent chat with close friend Markus Balodis. Markus gives an insider's guide to travelling through North Korea, the do's, donts and some funny stories he lived along the way. Markus and I then discuss what caused him to leave atheism behind in favour of Christianity. A thoroughly enjoyable conversation. I hope you enjoy! 

Stefan and I sat down with a beer to record the third instalment of our Lounge Room Chat - this evening, to identify and analyse the case that exists in favor of the Society of Saint Pius X. We discussed the person of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, the issues at play at the Second Vatican Council and the fallout which has effected every Catholic since. It was a delight to record, and I hope you enjoy it. 

I sat down with mother of 7, pro-life hero and model Catholic, Susan Erbacher. Susan tells her story, from her youth in Ireland and her early pro-life action where she met her future husband Mick, to her move across the sea to Australia, and the changes Susan faced. Susan's story is inspirational, as is her passion for the rights of the unborn. I hope you enjoy this episode. 

We cross the French boarder and enter Germany to discuss one of my favourite white grapes - riesling. And we devote some time to discussing Alsatian riesling, from the driest of the dry to the luscious. Enjoy!

I was joined by long time friend Greg Dailey, ABC journalist and cradle Catholic - we talk about the American social and sporting landscape (Greg being a mad Kansas City sports fan) and we talk about the creativity and beauty central to Catholicism. Enjoy!

An impassioned defence of the SSPX - the second part of our epic evening chat, Stefan and I talk tradition, and the Society of Saint Pius X in an exchange that has lead Stefan and I to believe that we need to meet for a Part 3 to further uncover and probe this topic - I hope you enjoy.

I was joined by long time friend Stefan Rey, a lover of home brewed beers, engineering, fine coffee and the Catholic faith, particularly the SSPX. Stefan's forensic analysis of his own reasons for being Catholic provide rich content for discussion. Does God exist? Can it be proven? And why should this matter? Some of the topics Stefan and I mused while sipping chocolate porter beer. The conversation then turned towards all things SSPX and traditional Catholicism, a segment which I have saved for Part 2. Enjoy!!!

White Burgundy, the gold standard of white wine - we discuss the geography, the culture, the climate, the terroir and the vinyards that produce famous grand cru wines, some of the best wines in the world.
