Podcasts abound on spectrum of Catholic topics

By Carrie McClish

Podcasting is the place where Catholics from all walks of life can use their voices to raise awareness about vocations, recall traditional devotions, join others in prayer and reflection, and muse or rant about all things Catholic.

Visitors to the website of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) at www.usccb.orgcan find links to a podcast where they can listen to daily liturgy readings.

Podcasts offered by The Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN) at http://www.ewtn.com/podcast/index.aspinclude Scripture readings and homilies from daily liturgies celebrated at an Alabama church.

EWTN podcasts are also based on the various television shows produced by the network such as “Sunday Night: Live With Father Benedict Groeschel” as well as classic programs featuring EWTN founder Mother Angelica.

Another television program that reaches a wider audience through podcasting is “Personally Speaking with Msgr. Jim Lisante.”

Visitors can listen to Msgr. Lisante interview prominent people in the fields of politics, sports, entertainment and religion.

The link to the podcast can be found on the Catholic Communication Campaigne at www.usccb.org/ccc/psradio.shtml.

A number of podcasts about the Vatican and Pope Benedict XVI can be found at the Vatican Radio website at www.radiovaticana.org/inglese/enindex.html
