| 12/9/25 | Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol w/ Dwight Lindley | We are all familiar with Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, featuring Ebenezer Scrooge and Marley's Ghost, Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim, the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come. And yet, even so, every year, millions eagerly read the story, watch the film, or attend the play. Why does a 182-year-old English ghost story still captivate us today? In what way are we ourselves haunted by the temptation to selfishness in a world hungry for kindness and generosity? Join Professor Dwight Lindley and me as we explore the soaring heights and the profound depths found in A Christmas Carol on The Evangelization & Culture Podcast.

| 11/25/25 | Broken Altars: Secularist Violence in Modern History w/ Thomas Albert Howard | Why do most believe that religion is the root of most modern violence while secularism is our dispassionate protector? In Broken Altars: Secularist Violence in Modern History, we discover that Combative Secularism and Eliminationist Secularism have made brutal and furious attempts to marginalize, weaken, and destroy religious faith. Join Dr. Tod Worner and Professor Thomas Albert Howard on The Evangelization & Culture Podcast as they explore the dark history of political secularism and the ways in which religion, time and again, has been an unwitting victim and not an untrammeled aggressor.

| 11/11/25 | Finding the World's Fullness w/ Robert Cording | If there is one struggle in life, it is with the unknown. In an age of self-assertion and technological wonder, we strive to obliterate the uncertain, eradicate the imperfect, and master the mysterious. And yet, these goals are impossible. Should we fear the unknown or embrace it? Is mystery threatening, or is it wondrous? Join Dr. Tod Worner and Professor-Poet Robert Cording as they explore these questions addressed in his phenomenal book, Finding the World's Fullness, on The Evangelization & Culture Podcast.

She and a dozen premier college students are the vanguard of writers for Evangelization & Culture Online's The College Beat.

| 7/22/25 | What Is Beauty? w/ Bishop Barron | The modern world tells us that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." And yet, the Catholic Church deems beauty a transcendental.

| 6/24/25 | The Eight-Minute Flight w/ Derek Ruth | In his autobiographical book, Derek Ruth explains, "During my time in heaven, Jesus gave me a choice, but I had no idea what the choice would entail. I believed I would come back to earth and continue living like I had been for the first twelve years of my life. I had no idea the trials and tribulations I would face in order to regain my life. And it has not been easy, but I would make the sale choice. I would choose this life."

| 6/10/25 | The Persistence of the Ideological Lie w/ Daniel Mahoney | In his essay, "How the Great Truth Dawned," Professor Gary Saul Morson muses, "Why is it, Solzhenitsyn asks, that Macbeth, Iago, and other Shakespearean evildoers stopped short at a dozen corpses, while Lenin and Stalin did in millions? The answer is that Macbeth and Iago 'had no ideology.'" Notwithstanding its rabid inhumanity, Professor Daniel Mahoney asserts, ideology always makes a brutal comeback. Join me and Daniel Mahoney as we explore his chilling and informative new book The Persistence of the Ideological Lie: The Totalitarian Impulse Then & Now on the Evangelization & Culture Podcast.

| 5/27/25 | The Way of Heaven & Earth: Exploring the Catholic Both/And w/ Matt Becklo | As Matthew Becklo asserts, "The Catholic faith is full of paradoxes, but its greatest paradox is this: that all of its both/ands unleash this ultimate either/or, and all of its communion compels this unavoidable decision." Are we with Christ or against him? And how do we balance the dynamic tensions (faith or reason, discipline or passion, spirit or flesh) that risk pulling us too far in one direction or another? Join me and Matthew Becklo as we consider his new book, The Way of Heaven & Earth: From Either/Or to the Catholic Both/And, on the Evangelization & Culture Podcast.
