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!

Episodes

  • This Show Ended Our Friendship

    March 30th, 2018  |  1 hr 24 mins
    church, leadership, non-profit, work, yelling

    Thanks to The Liturgical Institute and ViaCatholic.org for sponsoring the show! Unfortunately, it was the show where Luke and I argue so much that we hate each other. Luke tells me grace builds upon nature, again, but then he says that's why parishes need to study how to run successful non-profits. Wait a second. Hold on a minute. Didn't Luke pour haterade on everything I said in the past that involved similar suggestions? We yell.

    The LAST Jedi? The Last JEDI? THE Last Jedi?

    December 22nd, 2017  |  1 hr 27 mins
    art, broken toys, film, rian johnson, star wars, the last jedi

    Greg Iwinski, a comedian, film reviewer (he gave Balboa 5 Stars), and podcaster, comes on the show to attack all those who think Rian Johnson's "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" should have serviced the fans' expectations more than made a great movie (minus the casino scene) and set up a world-class franchise for decades to come. Film, art, and culture are all explored. Even a rant about maintenance-mode Catholicism comes in to play!
