Among Wolves

Neil and I are back for Season 8 of our show. If you're still listening... God bless you. In this show we talk a bit about the 25th anniversary of Lord of the Rings, and we talk about what movies would make good Muppet remakes. You know by now what we do.

Neil’s comic corner attempt! We get interrupted…a lot…and ultimately my mic drops so we’ll probably redo some conversation in the future. Before the train crashes on this episode we talk brave and the bold, 1960s comics, PG-13 movies we’ve let our kids watch. Then Elyssa drops in and my mic drops out.

Meet Mason, our only fan, he likes us for some reason and we brought him on the show! We give the 10 commandments of retreat writing. Here is the list: Thou shall create a space to encounter Christ Thou shall create a budget Thou shall not use “you” Thou shall let teens be teens Thou shall not treat retreats like one time experiences Thou shall always be one step head Thou shall not have phones Thou shall not wing it Thou shall be able to pivot What’s your 10th commandment?

To kick off our fall season we’re recording live at the St. Francis of Assisi Parish Festival in early October! For This episode Neil and I catch up on Summer happenings, then dive into Pope Leo XIV’s Apostolic Exhortation Dilexi Te which I read and made me feel poor because I’m dramatic. So I talk about how Money is a scam and doom and the end is nigh, while Neil reminds me that I’m not poor I’m just an idiot. It’s a great conversation.
