Apologetic Media Alternatives to Catholic Answers Live

[Brandon_Cal]

Hello,

I started listening to Catholic Answers Live about three years ago. It has proved a quite valuable resource in answering questions I’ve had about the Catholic faith specifically, and more generally the Apostolic faith. I feel that my understanding has matured quite a bit to a level that surpasses what I can usually get out of Catholic Answers Live now. When I listen today I find myself fast-forwarding through large segments of the show since many of the questions have been asked and answered numerous times before.

Are there any call-in shows, or Catholic podcasts that delve into more meatier doctrines of the faith, or in any way treat apologetic material in a more scholastically rigorous fashion? This isn’t meant in any way to disparage CAL. To the contrary, I wouldn’t even be in this position of asking for more rigorous alternatives if I hadn’t listened to three years worth of CAL! I just feel it’s time for me to look for a little more.

Thank you all in advance for your recommendations.

Jimmy Akin has his own podcast where he dives in pretty deep on certain topics. I don’t think it’s live but I know he takes calls. I like it because he’s able to devote more time to individual questions then he can on CAL. That might be a good one for you to check out.

Try EWTN Open Line with John Martignoni EWTN Global Catholic Radio Network ewtn.com/radio/weekday/ewtnopenline.asp

Might I suggest the Institute of Catholic Culture.org. in depth analysis on a variety of subjects pertaining to the Catholic faith.

Have you listened to the Al Kresta program? When he hosts someone to talk about an apologetics issue, you can always expect a rigorous treatment. I think he should do that more often. The Al Kresta show typically discusses daily news, though, and is sort of like a Catholic alternative to Rush Limbaugh.

One thing you could do is search the Al Kresta podcast archives for any apologetics issues you might want to know more about.
