It finished with 550 million total downloads. Host of the 'Catechism in a Year' and 'Bible in a Year' podcasts, Fr. Mike Schmitz, joins to tell us about the 'Catechism in a Year' podcast, what some of the highlights have been for him and he also discusses branching out into video. Fr. Mike shares what the reaction has been like so far. We recently interviewed a 9 year old in Michigan who has his own podcast and says he was inspired by Fr. Mike's work. Fr. Mike reacts to this. He explains why he thinks a podcast has become such a popular way for people to learn about the faith and what this signals. He fills us in on how he balances the work on the podcast with his daily duties as a priest in the Diocese of Duluth. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
