Podcasts about Burgundy

Marloes Halmans moved her family from the Netherlands to Burgundy in France prior to Covid and loves sharing all that she loves about her adopted home! The greenery, the wildlife, the rural farming, the wine, the food... I completely agree with her, there is something very special about Bourgogne! There always seems to be something happening regardless of the time of year for a visit.Marloes and I chatted about some cultural differences between the Dutch and French, things that would impact the manner in which new people are accepted. We also discussed some of the quirks of moving to France including having her young children start school with no French fluency at all! Marloes and her family were also renovating an old farmhouse when they first arrived, so there were lot's of challenges! Marloes and I had a lovely chat about French style in this podcast chat. We ponder that what we as non-French people usually describe as French design is actually not much at all like a common French home. But there is a style that we often consider evokes a sense of Frenchiness and I must say, that often helps me to feel connected to France. They have overcome any issues and now have a beautiful home and a wonderful YouTube channel sharing their French life as well as places and homes that Marloes visits all over France. Marloes has only one goal and that is to bring people into the warmth and calmness of her home, to help people around the globe to escape by sharing happiness, beauty and peace. Marloes is living a beautiful French life and has reminded me to live life intentionally, with purpose. Tune in and escape to France with us xx **Louise Prichard is the host of the Loulabelle's FrancoFiles podcast.**Other Loulabelle's links:FrancoFile Fix on YouTubeLoulabelle's FrancoFiles Spotify Playlist Loulabelle's FrancoFiles InstagramLoulabelle's FrancoFiles website

Sixty years before "drink less, but better" became an industry mantra, one man in Tuscany was already living it. His grandson has spent his whole career proving him right. In this episode, Pierre sits down with Giovanni Folonari, of Ambrogio e Giovanni Folonari Tenute, the family behind four distinct Tuscan estates built on a single conviction: that quality can't be rented, it has to be owned. The conversation moves through Nozzole, the Chianti Classico estate where clay soil and history run deep; Tenute del Cabreo, the Supertuscan project that dared to plant Cabernet, Merlot, Chardonnay and even Pinot Noir on Sangiovese ground; Campo al Mare, the family's late but decisive bet on Bolgheri; and Tenuta La Fuga, the smallest estate in the portfolio and home to a Brunello Riserva named for two sisters. Along the way, Giovanni talks candidly about the family decision to walk away from an easier, more recognisable business, what it actually takes to grow Pinot Noir outside Burgundy, and why hospitality became part of the estate's identity long before the rest of the wine world caught on. Want more? A bonus episode, going deeper into the family's history, the technical side of the cellar, and a side of Giovanni that has nothing to do with wine at all, is available exclusively at readbetweenthewines.com. Featuring: Chianti Classico, Supertuscan, Bolgheri, Brunello di Montalcino, Tuscany, Sangiovese, family winery, Italian fine wine, terroir, wine and hospitality.

What if that expensive bottle of wine you've just bought isn't what you think it is? In this episode of Eat Sleep Wine Repeat, Janina explores the fascinating - and often shocking - world of counterfeit wine and wine fraud with Maureen Downey, one of the world's leading authorities on wine authentication, provenance and fraud. From fake bottles of Burgundy and First Growth Bordeaux to the infamous Rudy Kurniawan wine fraud scandal, Maureen reveals how counterfeit wine enters the market, which wines are most commonly faked, and how experts determine whether a bottle is genuine. You'll discover how wine experts authenticate suspicious bottles using forensic techniques including the examination of labels, paper, glass, UV light, invisible inks and microscopic analysis. We also explore why wine provenance - the documented history of a bottle's ownership, storage and journey through the market - is so important when buying fine wine. Maureen explains how organised crime has become involved in wine fraud, why even experienced collectors can be deceived, and how technology, blockchain and bottle registration could help protect the wine trade in the future. She also shares practical advice on how to buy fine wine with greater confidence and reduce the risk of purchasing a counterfeit bottle. Along the way, Maureen shares the wines and producers that inspire her today, including Burgundy, Champagne and Jura Chardonnay, reveals why the Côte Chalonnaise is one of the world's most underrated wine regions, and explains why every serious wine lover should experience the food and wine of Piedmont at least once. Whether you're a fine wine collector, an enthusiastic wine lover, planning a wine trip, or simply curious about how to tell if a bottle of wine is authentic, this episode may completely change the way you look at every bottle you buy. To know more, go to winefraud.com Maureen's educational platform dedicated to wine fraud, authentication and provenance.  Shownotes 03:09 – How Maureen discovered wine — why she deliberately began studying wine at just 18 years old and the experiences that sparked a lifelong passion for wine. 05:00 – From hospitality to fine wine — how working in some of New York's greatest restaurants shaped Maureen's early wine career before an unexpected move into wine auctions. 06:44 – Why wine auctions are the ultimate classroom — how working with thousands of bottles from every producer, region and vintage became the ultimate way to learn about wine. 09:40 – Discovering counterfeit wine — the moment Maureen realised wine fraud was far more widespread than anyone in the industry openly discussed. 14:24 – How common is counterfeit wine? — why fake wines exist at every price point, from supermarket shelves to the world's most valuable fine wines. 16:28 – Which wines are most commonly faked? — exploring the different types of wine fraud, from commercial brands to First Growth Bordeaux, Burgundy and rare collectors' bottles. 21:50 – Fighting wine theft — how provenance, blockchain technology and bottle registration could help protect collectors and reduce wine crime. 28:43 – How experts authenticate wine — the forensic techniques used to identify counterfeit bottles, from paper, labels and glass to UV light, invisible inks and microscopic analysis. 32:05 – Bottles that almost fooled the experts — why authentication is a collaborative process and how experienced specialists work together to verify authenticity. 34:14 – The most sophisticated counterfeit wines — how modern counterfeiters have become increasingly advanced and why producers continue adapting their anti-fraud measures. 35:11 – The funniest counterfeit attempt — one of the most unbelievable fake wine cases Maureen has ever encountered and why it was impossible to take seriously. 36:32 – The truth about Rudy Kurniawan — separating myth from reality behind the world's most infamous wine fraudster and the network that supported him. 40:59 – Lessons from investigating wine fraud — what years spent exposing counterfeit wines taught Maureen about trust, psychology and human nature. 43:19 – Buying wine with confidence — practical advice on provenance, trusted merchants and why Maureen founded Chai Consulting to help collectors and consumers buy fine wine with confidence. 47:03 – The wines inspiring Maureen today — why Burgundy, Champagne and Jura Chardonnay remain favourites, plus standout producers including Krug, Domaine Hubert Lamy, Domaine J.F. Mugnier, and Argentina's Bodega Chacra. 49:22 – The world's most underrated wine region — why the Côte Chalonnaise deserves far more attention from wine lovers. 50:50 – A wine experience every enthusiast should have — why eating and drinking in Piedmont belongs on every serious wine lover's bucket list.

Cory Empting is Managing Director of Winegrowing at Domain H. William Harlan, overseeing Harlan Estate, BOND, Promontory, and The Mascot in the Napa Valley of California.Cory recounts his memories of growing up in the Napa Valley and learning about winemaking from the age of 15. He recalls running around The French Laundry as a kid and helping out with a harvest at Forman Vineyard. He also talks about his first experiences at Harlan Estate, a property where he has now worked for decades. Cory discusses why he decided to pursue a career at Harlan, which led to being named the Winemaker of the property years later.Cory talks about Bob Levy, the Founding Winemaker of Harlan Estate, who Cory still works with today. He also describes working for Bill Harlan and Will Harlan, the owners of the property. Cory talks about the 1997 vintage at Harlan Estate, and his experiences tasting that wine over the years. He also shares some thoughts about the ageing trajectory of Harlan wines in general.Cory discusses the Harlan property itself and contrasts it with the nearby Promontory vineyard, then describes how the winemaking approach for Promontory evolved over time. This leads into a discussion of how the approach at Harlan Estate has changed over the years, both in terms of the farming and the winemaking. One key change has been the move to dry farming (without irrigation), and Cory talks about the implications of that shift. Other topics that emerge in the discussion include soil health, head trained vines, vineyard exposure, harvest date, native yeast fermentation, fermentation temperature, stem inclusion, extraction, tannin management, avoiding acidification, the duration of malolactic conversion, press wine, and the length of élevage. Amidst this discussion Cory emphasizes his respect for Bob Levy's accomplishments and frames the shifts at Harlan over time as a natural evolution in a multi-generational business.Cory shares the terrible circumstances surrounding the wildfires in the Napa Valley in 2017, and what his family experienced during that time. He also grapples with how that harvest redefined his thinking about the winemaking. After that experience in 2017, Cory reviewed harvest records from previous decades and started thinking more about the winemaking of the past in the Napa Valley. This coincided with Cory having more encounters with older vintages of Napa wines.Farming is discussed in-depth, as Cory shares his thoughts on the language of plants and interacting with vines. A significant outcome of the work in the vines at Harlan has been earlier ripening as an outcome of dry farming. Cory recognizes members of his team who made key contributions to the work in the vines on the property, including the Castellanos brothers and Francisco Gonzalez. He also touches on the significant differences between different vineyard parcels within Harlan Estate, both in terms of vineyard work and exposure. The subject of multi-generational wineries comes to the fore as Cory discusses internal dynamics at the workplace between winemakers and ownership.In 2020, wildfire reappeared in the Napa Valley, and Cory made a decision to harvest weeks earlier than had been the norm at Harlan Estate in the 2000s. He refers to that decision as “an inflection point” for Harlan Estate and shares his reasoning in this interview. The question of whether wildfires are part of a new climate reality for Napa is addressed in this interview, and Cory talks about the relation of farming and climate to wine style. He also shares his thoughts on how smoke taint may alter the tannins of a wine. He closes with the thought that his team is currently learning and adjusting at a faster pace.This episode also features commentary from:Ric Forman, Forman VineyardKelli White, Director of Education at The Wine Center and author of the book "Napa Valley Then & Now"Frederic Mugnier, Domaine Jacques-Frederic MugnierSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It is official. Not a soul can visit the Napa Valley without witnessing the fingerprints of Jean-Charles Boisset. They are everywhere, and not because he is trying consume the entire valley, but because he earnestly believes in the soulfull value of an honest glass of wine. I consider Jean-Charles a friend, though he may not remember my name, he makes you feel like the only person in the room. Jean-Charles Boisset descends on the wine world like a storm in Baccarat—disruptive, dazzling, and unapologetically bold. He doesn't just challenge conventional wisdom; he shatters it, glass by glass. This episode swirls the sediment lying undisturbed at the bottom of wine's oldest traditions and asks if the industry is ready to face what floats to the top. For Boisset, the glass isn't just half full or half empty—it's a symbol of revolution. He questions why so many winemakers cling to synthetic shortcuts, and why the American dream of innovation dares to outshine the European obsession with lineage and terroir. When he proclaims that wine can bring peace, he's not being airy—he's challenging the centuries-old gatekeeping that has kept wine and its culture an exclusive club, and he wants you to take a seat at the table. The unfiltered conversation goes beyond polite tasting notes and sanitized marketing speak. Boisset exposes the darker legacy of agriculture's chemical age, candidly recalling how even Burgundy's most hallowed soils were ravaged by pesticides and herbicides in the name of efficiency and modernity. He doesn't hesitate to point fingers at both his native France and his adopted America, calling out complacency, prejudice, and the blindness that persists in the vineyard, the cellar, and society at large. If you've ever doubted the true cost of "progress" in your glass, Boisset's relentless optimism—and his willingness to provoke uncomfortable truths—will have you rethinking everything from your choice of stemware to the politics of what's poured at state dinners. Listeners won't just leave with facts—they'll carry a new lens, sharpened by controversy and inspired by possibility. Boisset's energy, fueled by both science and spirituality, won't let anyone off the hook. Can wine really erase borders and prejudices, or is that just another intoxicating myth sold along with the label? As Boisset toasts unity, he challenges the wine world to stop hiding behind tradition, and instead, innovate with conscience.

She and four childhood friends painted all morning, then explored Vézelay, Avallon, and the Château d'Ancy-le-Franc in the afternoons. Annie and Julie talk about wisteria, lilacs, why reservations matter even in small villages, and why a slow retreat beats a packed itinerary.

La pôchouse — the ancient freshwater fish stew of Burgundy and Franche-Comté, made from a specific combination of Saône and Doubs river fish cooked in Burgundy aligoté white wine — is one of the most distinctive and most overlooked dishes in the whole of French regional cooking. Today's Food Tour de France episode finishes in Chalon-sur-Saône — a river city in the Saône-et-Loire, one of the great stretches of Burgundian France — and tells the full story of a dish first documented in writing in 1646, born on the boats and riverbanks of Verdun-sur-le-Doubs where the Saône meets the Doubs, made by the boatmen and fishermen who cooked it in a pot from the morning's catch with the white wine available to them on the Burgundian riverbanks. Celebrated by its own brotherhood since 1949. Still served in the restaurants that line the Saône today. And still made from the same four-fish combination that the pôchoux — the fishermen of the Bresse patois — established on these rivers four centuries ago.The episode covers the full story of la pôchouse — the four-fish combination of lean pike and perch alongside fatty eel and tench that gives the dish its specific character, the aligoté white wine that is both the cooking medium and the drink alongside it, the lardons and croutons that complete the preparation, and the Confrérie des Chevaliers de la Pôchouse de Verdun-sur-le-Doubs founded in 1949 that has been defending and celebrating this dish for over seventy years. We cover the annual festival at Verdun-sur-le-Doubs — the Fête de la Pôchouse, where local restaurants serve it according to ancestral rules, the Confrérie Saint-Nicolas des Radeliers builds a raft on the Petit Doubs, and the dish is eaten without accompaniment as tradition demands. And we connect the pôchouse to the broader family of French river fish stews — including the lamprey à la bordelaise we covered earlier in the series.The Food Tour de France is a daily series running alongside the 2026 Tour de France on Fabulously Delicious — one episode for every stage start and finish. The pôchouse episode connects directly to the lamprey à la bordelaise episode from the Bordeaux stage earlier in the series — both are ancient river fish preparations cooked in wine, both are the food of the boatmen and fishermen of great French waterways, and both tell the story of France's rivers through what they have been feeding their people for centuries.

I posted a video in my car saying I stopped getting my nails done and my life got better. That was it. One less appointment, one less thing to manage. I thought I had cracked the code, and the code was nails. Then the internet lost it. Twice. The first time, women were relieved, like nobody had told them opting out was allowed. A year later, it came back and turned into something else entirely. First, I was broke for not doing my nails. Then, I was rich for not doing my nails. My little video ended up next to Carolyn Bessette in think pieces, and I am over here just trying not to drive to a salon. So I called Cyndi Ramirez-Fulton, who built Chillhouse from one SoHo salon into the brand that created the press-on category. She said the part I had not thought about at all: when I skip my nails, it gets called quiet luxury. When a woman of color skips hers, it can read like she is not keeping up. Same bare nail, completely different verdict. I had become the poster child of a trend I never signed up for, and I had not once considered whose hand it was on. We stayed there for a while. Why we go after each other so hard over our own faces. Whether we quietly judge other women, which she answered honestly instead of pretending she does not. What her mother's spa in Queens had—a room full of women talking for hours—that we do not really have anymore. Why she builds loudly and improves quietly. And what it is actually like to build a company with the man you are married to, which is its own thing entirely. At the end, I asked her what women are not saying out loud right now. She said she wishes we could fully own being who we want to be and not feel bad about it. We can change, we can stay the same, and we can do whatever we want. I think a lot of women need to hear that right now. Cyndi Ramirez-Fulton is the founder and CEO of Chillhouse, the self-care brand she built from a single SoHo salon into one of the most influential beauty companies of her generation. She is the woman behind Chill Tips, the press-on line that helped redefine what nail care even is. An Inc. Female Founders honoree and one of WWD's 40 of Tomorrow, she partnered with Kiss Beauty Group in a deal that keeps Chillhouse independent, staying on as CEO with her team and her SoHo flagship intact. She is a wife, a mother, and a proud Colombian-American—the daughter of an esthetician who started with a single chair in Jackson Heights and grew it into four stores. The Queen of Chill.

Ask Us A Question!For more than four decades, Jeff Currier has built one of the most extraordinary careers in flyfishing. From tiny mountain streams to some of the most remote rivers, flats, and coastlines on Earth, he has traveled to more than 60 countries, pursued fish on six continents, and inspired generations of anglers with an unmatched passion for exploration. Along the way, one remarkable goal has quietly driven nearly every journey: the pursuit of 500 different and unique species caught and documented on a fly rod. If successful, Jeff will likely become the first angler in history to reach that unprecedented milestone.Recorded on location in the Burgundy region of eastern France, this special episode of Waypoints follows Jeff as he stands on the doorstep of history in pursuit of one final species to reach his goal of 500 — a giant Wels catfish unlike anything most fly anglers will ever encounter. But this conversation is about far more than a number on a list. Waypoints host Jim Klug and Jeff discuss the decades of travel, relentless curiosity, meticulous planning, friendships, setbacks, and unforgettable adventures that transformed a simple idea into a lifelong pursuit. Whether you've followed Jeff's career for years or are hearing his story for the first time, this is a fascinating look at what happens when passion becomes purpose — and why the greatest accomplishments in flyfishing are often measured not by the fish themselves, but by the places they take us and the lives they shape along the way.Waypoints is brought to you by PatagoniaTo bring their gear to life, Patagonia is motivated by relentless curiosity and a passion for the wild. They evaluate hundreds of materials, build dozens of prototypes and spend seasons punishing them in the world's most extreme conditions. The work is the guide, and Patagonia never tires of exploring, learning and improving. For the past two years, the Yellow Dog Flyfishing travel team has worked closely with Patagonia to test and refine the all-new Patagonia River Salt Wading Boots II in destinations ranging from New Zealand to the Seychelles.

In 1475, nobody wants a Henry V impersonator, but Edward IV goes ahead and does his best impression anyway.  Edward, buoyant from vanquishing his enemies at home, now wants to re-unite the kingdom against its longtime enemy: France. He wants the family heirlooms back: Normandy and Gascony.  So he assembles the biggest army in living memory — about 13,000 strong — and launches an assault on Paris, via Calais and Agincourt. Another Duke of Burgundy allies with England, too.  But Edward IV is no Henry V. Edward's first allegiance is to pleasure, and it's a fact the French King, Louis XI, ruthlessly exploits.  – As always, Dan's royal favourites can chime in anytime on the royal court on Patreon at patreon.com/thisishistory. It's where you get your bonus episodes, and on this week's episode Dan reveals whether the Hundred Years' War was actually over by Edward IV's invasion. Plus, more on why Henry Tudor's the new pawn to be traded between Edward, Louis XI, and the Duke of Burgundy.  – A Sony Music Entertainment production.  Find more great podcasts from Sony Music Entertainment at sonymusic.com/podcasts  To bring your brand to life in this podcast, email podcastadsales@sonymusic.com  Learn more about your ad choices.  Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices  –– Presented by Dan Jones Producer - Alan Weedon Senior Producer - Dominic Tyerman Junior Producer - Dulcie Whadcock Executive Producer - Louisa Field Executive Producer - Dan Jones Production Manager - Jen Mistri Production Coordinator - Eric Ryan Head of Content - Chris Skinner Learn more about your ad choices.

When you think of wine, you probably think of France, Bordeaux, Burgundy or Beaujolais. But we could soon be looking to Kent, Dorset and Hampshire instead, especially when it comes to sparkling wine.  Since 2000 the total amount of land in England and Wales given over to vineyards has quadrupled in size and established wine makers, particularly from the Champagne region in France are taking notice and are keen to take advantage of this new market.  In 2016, the Pommery group invested in farmland in Kent which they transformed into vineyards. When interviewed for the Daily Mail, about the 2022 harvest, Julien Lonneux from Pommery said : “This is a truly vintage crop, easily the best in a decade.” How much sparkling wine is currently produced in the UK?

They've got lobster on their mind!  Sam Smith is a BRIT Award, Grammy, Golden Globe and Oscar-winning singer and songwriter. They join us ahead of the release of their new album, Hazel Eyes, which is released on 21 August and features their new single, My Guy. But first, it's time for the long-awaited debut of lobster on Dish, the perfect star ingredient for a guest who once had aspirations to be a fishmonger, and also ideal to help Angela through a small hangover.  Sam lives in New York with their partner Christian, and tells us about the impact the move has had on their tastebuds and their capacity to handle heat. They've also recently started a food blog on Instagram, SamServed, where you can get a glimpse of their favourite dishes including fish and chips, peanut butter and chicken wings. Another favourite is turnip cake, which tastes so good, Sam had it tattooed on their body.   We start with caviar on crisps and ice cold Waitrose Blanc de Noirs Champagne, before Angela serves up lobster rolls with lemon & dill. The Waitrose wine experts paired this meal with a bottle of Famille Brocard Organic Chablis 2025 Burgundy.  Sam loves food (even more than music) and tells us about the addictive joys of touring, where they can combine both passions. We also hear about the time they got ‘Chaka'fied' by Chaka Khan, nights at the Met Gala and a truly unforgettable gift from Ed Sheeran.  You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes A transcript for this episode can be found at waitrose.com/dish If you want to get in touch with us about anything at all, contact dish@waitrose.co.uk  Dish from Waitrose is made by Cold Glass Productions 00:00 Welcome! 03:05 Angela's Hartnett range at Waitrose 05:06 Sam Smith is here!  07:52 Champagne and caviar cheers! 09:57 Sam Smith is a certified foodie  13:49 Sam's food likes and dislikes  17:25 Life in New York  21:45 Food is served!  25:20 Sam's food Instagram  26:40 To gatekeep or not to gatekeep?  28:22 Wine pairing  28:30 New album and the writing process  32:34 Sam's presence in music  33:54 New live shows!  35:13 The influence of Chaka Khan 37:07 The Met Gala  38:54 That outfit at the BRITs… 39:32 Fast food quiz  41:51 End of the show question Learn more about your ad choices.

We're going solo this episode, and we're going global. After months of logging serious miles across cities and continents, we wanted to revisit a format we love — not the wine regions, not the châteaux, but the cities themselves. The places that aren't necessarily making wine, but are doing it better than almost anywhere else in the world. We're breaking down our top four wine cities right now — London, Copenhagen, Tokyo, and New York — what makes each one stand out, how we navigate them for wine when we get there, and the specific spots that completely won us over. Along the way, we're also tasting the Zuccardi Polígonos Cabernet Franc from Mendoza — our wine club pick and a perfect tie-in to our earlier episode on the most exciting wine regions to visit. Pour a glass and come along. Featured Wine: Zuccardi Polígonos Cabernet Franc, Uco Valley

When I mentioned a good friend I was heading to Portugal, he says "look up Rupert, he has an interesting story."" And I did...but because I was travelling, I did not spend the time researching the upcoming guest, a mistake I have never made again; you see, Rupert Symington is literally wine royalty...and I had no clue. Rupert Symington is the kind of guest who could convince you that the real secrets of port wine are hidden not in the bottle, but behind family names, fortified histories, and backroom deals struck centuries ago. If you think port is just a sweet afterthought or a dusty bottle reserved for granddad at Christmas, get ready to have your assumptions shattered. This episode ventures into the shadowy borderlands where commerce, politics, and survival collided—painting port not as a relic, but as a living testament to international rivalry, regulatory gamesmanship, and enduring British influence in Portugal's very soul. You'll learn how wars, political treaties, and a dash of scandal led to the accidental birth of port 02:11, and why some of the best "Portuguese" wines might owe more to London's drawing rooms than Douro's slopes. Rupert doesn't just spill the wine—he spills the industry's deepest anxieties: why vintage port, once equal to Bordeaux, is now almost an afterthought and how tight regulation and power moves have locked out newcomers 28:10 15:20. Is port's old world mystique its greatest asset—or its Achilles heel? If you've ever wondered what's really swirling in your glass, this is the episode that won't let you look away. Here's what you'll learn—no sugarcoating, only intrigue:

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Gotta Be Saints, Brendan sits down with Peter Giersch to discuss one of the most important realities Christians can reflect on: eternity. Through the beauty of France, the witness of the saints, the art of Michelangelo, and the Catholic understanding of death, judgment, heaven, and hell, Peter invites listeners to rediscover what so much of the modern world has forgotten.Drawing from his book Talking of Michelangelo, Peter reflects on his experiences in Burgundy, the Catholic imagination found in medieval churches, and why generations of Christians were constantly reminded of eternity through sacred art and architecture. Together, Brendan and Peter discuss suffering, holiness in ordinary life, the vocation of marriage and singleness, the meaning of the crucifix, the Last Judgment, and why modern culture has become uncomfortable talking about heaven and hell.This conversation is thoughtful, honest, and deeply rooted in the Catholic tradition while remaining practical for everyday life. It is ultimately an invitation to reflect on where our lives are leading and to remember that holiness is possible in every vocation through love, sacrifice, patience, and fidelity to Christ.Featured BookTalking of Michelangelo: Burgundy, Eternity, and the Catholic Imagination by Peter GierschOrder the BookSponsored by TruthlyTruthly helps faithful Catholics find trustworthy answers to life's biggest questions through AI built with a Catholic worldview.Visit TruthlyStay ConnectedInstagram:@gottabesaints InstagramFacebook:Gotta Be Saints Facebook Support the show
