Catching Foxes
Two guys talking about the collision of faith and culture. Discussion over Instruction. *Occasionally explicit.
About the show
Luke and Gomer became friends Freshman year at the Franciscan University of Steubenville and 14 years later they started a podcast. The show oscillates between a conversation between just the two of us and interviews that we do together of other, fancier people. Sometimes we get explicit either by being too honest or by being too stupid. Either way, it's fun!
