Had a very enjoyable pre-Christmas conversation with Mike Jordan Laskey, the host of the Jesuit podcast for Canada and the US. It was a pretty wide-ranging chat, covering having adult children, dealing with materialism and other Christmas-related anxieties, managing and building traditions, my favorite Christmas carol that I couldn’t quite remember at the moment, CAKE … Continue reading “Thomas Aquinas doesn’t teach you how to have a holly jolly Christmas, and other insights from the AMDG Jesuit podcast”
New podcast! For this episode, Damien’s out and our oldest daughter Lena is in, as our resident expert on . . . MORTAL KOMBAT. Both of them! There’s a new movie and and old movie and maybe something is wrong with us, but we loved them both, and we had a certain amount to say … Continue reading “Double Feature with the Fishers, new podcast episode: MORTAL KOMBAT and MORTAL KOMBAT”
Believe it or not, not our podcast is back! After a horribly long hiatus, Damien and I have started recording weekly podcasts again.

Although we have very disparate tastes, we’re … Continue reading “Movie Night with the Fishers: The podcast returns!”

Who can even say what’s in this podcast? What isn’t in this podcast? Not Chuck Norris, that’s who! And not a poem by Donald Justice. Photo by Carlos Killpack via Flickr (Creative Commons)
It’s a stone cold sober podcast! And in honor of how much we suck, it’s free. Damien and I incisively analyze the dead hand of Mother Angelica, how Facebook pranks all of Australia, newspapers that were not metaphors, a small disappointment about sharks, cocktails, lyme disease, toxic masculinity, and so much more. And a poem … Continue reading “Podcast #57: And then the internet took off.”
Matt Walsh, Cape Cod, Tony Montana, baked beans, fat girls, football pooper, LEONARD BERNSTEIN! It almost works. And a poem by John Bargowski.
