Hoping to drive listeners to our last Sacred Legions podcast episode with Rev. Matthew Best. Yes, it's a pun, and yes, I'm a dad, so yes...

Another great guest, Rev. Matthew Best, another great book recommendation!

In our January episode, featured secular saint, Executive Directory of the @abolitionistlawcenter.org, strongly advocated against solitary confinement. This news report from my home state of Indiana demonstrate why this is such an important issue. Our hearts go out to Adam's family.

Being a literary nerd, I am really excited by this new promotional feature of Sacred Legions. Volunteer, seek self-care, and READ (while supporting your local libraries).

You know it's a good book when it grabs you young and creates a masterwork of humor.

@patlamarche.bsky.social and I released our interview with Gary Gulman exactly one week ago today! Many great books were discussed including this one. If you haven't yet had a chance to listen, please visit the website or your favorite podcast provider. You won't be disappointed.

If Gary Gulman is talking books with Sacred Legions, you know he has to address his love of Kurt Vonnegut. Hear more uplifting advice and reading advice by listening to the whole episode.

Anyone familiar with the comedy of Gary Gulman will know that he is incredibly articulate and well-read. In the first of several excerpts of his recent Sacred Legions interview, our new series of posts, Sacred Legions book chats!

A friend and Sacred Legions podcast listener left this voicemail after yesterday's show. "Another very good one. In fact, I was listening while I was gardening, and I couldn't believe the show was over all of a sudden." Thank you Meredith and all our listeners. Here's a reminder about the episode.

It is finally here! The Sacred Legions podcast episode featuring Ukrainians Svitlana and Yurii is available at our website now. Here's a brief reminder of what you can expect. Please give it a listen!

There are mere hours until the important Sacred Legions podcast episode featuring Ukrainian secular saints Svitlana and Yurii is available on all podcast services and at the sacredlegions.org website. Please give your time and listen to tomorrow!

We're putting the finishing touches on the transcription of the next Sacred Legions episode. The message Yuri and Svitlana have to share from the front lines in Ukraine is too important to get lost in translation. Please give them your time and listen to the Sacred Legions podcast this Monday!

On average, 44 people are killed each day in the war on Ukraine. That means 100 or so people will die before you hear Yuri and Svitlana relate their experiences on the front lines. Please give them your time and listen to the @sacredlegions.bsky.social podcast this Monday!
