Shawn was born in Sheridan Wyoming. His love of bikes started early, he even won trophies racing BMX in elementary school.  When he was 12 they moved to Holladay where Shawn went to Oly Jr & graduated from Olympus High. Shawn has always been active, playing many sports like football and basketball. Believe it or not, he had to be an X when he played tackle football in junior high.  He went to Univ of Wyoming for a semester, and realized the sheltered Sheridan boy was not prepared for all that Laramie had to offer. He then went to the U for a quarter, spent two years in North Carolina, and then graduated from the U.  Shawn currently lives in Cottonwood Heights with his wife Emily; who is amazing, glorious, kind, thoughtful, and patient, along with their 3 boys.  Em's family ran the Deseret News 10k one summer, then the Provo River half marathon, and Shawn's love for endurance was born, as well as a dive into nutrition. He ran 13 marathons before switching to cycling. He has always had a method to his madness, whether it be getting faster or stronger, what he does has a purpose.  At certain times of the year, Shawn could have up to 6 jobs going on at one time. He's currently working on a masters in Sport Analytics from Ole Miss, and looking to make a career transition to data analytics. So make sure you have your brown rice and beatles, and prepare to be enlightened by Shawn's crazy mind.  From Kirby, “Shawn has been in the finance industry for 10 plus years, but has a love for statistics.  When Shawn isn't crunching numbers for FIS, he is running the statistics reporting for University of Utah sports programs as well as for the NFL Las Vegas Raiders.  Fun facts, Shawn is a vegetarian and loves eating cactus.  Because Shawn eats mostly plants, producing more gas, which you'll get to enjoy on group rides.  There is little to no draft riding behind Shawn, perfect air foil.  Shawn's mom, Jane, favorite friend is David Kirby.  She loves a man with a mustache.  True story.”

Out of the lab and onto the screen: how cinematic narratives construct the public image of science & technology AgBioFEWS Cohort 3 Organized Guest Panel with: › Leah Ceccarelli, PhD, Professor at University of Washington › David Kirby, PhD, Professor of Science and Technology Studies at Cal Poly University - San Luis Obispo Drawing on perspectives from rhetorical criticism and media studies, Drs. Leah Ceccarelli and David Kirby discuss the role of popular science-fiction films in shaping public perception of scientists and emerging biotechnologies. Abstract Dystopias, biological warfare, and near human extinction are common tropes in science-fiction film and television. These representations not only provide entertainment, but reflect deep-seated fears and hopes for scientific and technological futures. This is especially true for biotechnology (think Stephen King's The Stand and Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park), where cinematic narratives can shape the public's imagination of scientists and their practices. Because the interplay of science and media is an important force shaping our understanding of innovation, scientists should be interested in what's playing on the big screen. With that in mind, members of GES's AgBioFEWS Cohort 3 have invited Drs. Leah Ceccarelli and David Kirby to lead a discussion on popular science-fiction films and their impact on the public's orientation to science and technology, with a special focus on scientists' credibility and genetic engineering.

She serves on several editorial boards and is co-editor of a book series on Transdisciplinary Rhetoric sponsored by the Rhetoric Society of America and Penn State University Press. Dr. David A. Kirby (@king_gwangi and @CalPolyCLA) is Professor and Chair of the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies in the Liberal Arts and Director of the Science Technology & Society Program at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo. His research examines how movies, television, and computer games act as vehicles of scientific communication. Several of his publications address the relationship between cinema, genetics and biotechnology. He has also explored the collaboration between scientists and the entertainment industry in his book "Lab Coats in Hollywood: Science, Scientists and Cinema." He is currently writing a book titled "Indecent Science: Religion, Science, and Movie Censorship." GES Colloquium is jointly taught by Drs.

The 2013 documentary Blackfish exposes the distress of killer whales kept in captivity and contrasts their lives with those of the wild orcas we see here in the Pacific Northwest. Joining us this week to talk about his involvement in the film is Dr Jeff Ventre, one of the former SeaWorld trainers featured Blackfish.  We discuss the origins of Jeff's involvement that can be traced back almost 15 years prior to the release of Blackfish, to 1995 while he was a senior trainer at SeaWorld, when he visited the Center for Whale Research on San Juan Island. There he began his friendships with Astrid van Ginneken, Dave Ellifrit and Ken Balcomb learning about the lives of wild killer whales versus captive orcas. After trainer Dawn Brancheau was killed by captive orca Tilikum in 2010, Jeff was interviewed by CNN and others, further drawing him into opportunities to expose the dangers of orca captivity. In our conversation, Jeff mentions the Outside Magazine feature article “The Killer in the Pool,” by Tim Zimmermann. Filmmaker Gabriela Coperthwaite read the article, which drew her into the story, and inspired her 2013 documentary. This also inspired “Superpod” gatherings of activists, authors, filmmakers and others on San Juan Island starting in 2011, where many of the interviews in the film were conducted. Jeff speaks about the release of the film and how they thought getting into the Sundance Film Festival would be the pinnacle, not knowing the film was about to be purchased by CNN and Magnolia. Jeff discusses what it was like to participate in the global release of the film and how it became a rallying cry for the animal justice movement and a model for other documentaries. Jeff also speaks with us about his most memorable experiences seeing iconic Southern Resident killer whales J1, “Ruffles,” and J2, “Granny.” These experiences radically altered his perspective and forever changed him. He took these experiences with him all the way forward to his participation in the film Blackfish. In the second half of this episode, captains, professional guides and podcast co-hosts Jeff and Sara discuss the latest whale sightings around the San Juan Islands from running tours with Maya's Legacy Whale Watching. We describe the scene with T65A3 and T49A2, recently referred to as “The Butcher Boys,” hunting in Active Pass amid ferry traffic. We also talk about a very rare visit from Bigg's killer whale T72, a first-time sighting for us. He has a distinctive curl at the top of his dorsal fin and spends most of his time in northern BC and Southeast Alaska. He came down to our area accompanied by the T34s and T37s, familiar whales in this region, who also spend time up in Southeast Alaska. We also discuss recent sightings of Southern Resident killer whales and a new calf in K pod.  If you are enjoying listening to our podcast, please follow/subscribe, leave us feedback/reviews and share with your friends!

My name is David and I have Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Duchenne is a neuromuscular disease characterized by progressive muscle weakness. It is the most common muscular dystrophy in boys, and it follows a similar trajectory in most people: losing the ability to walk around age 10, requiring ventilation in the early 20s, and survival into the late 30s is rare. I grew up in Chicago and went to the University of Illinois (’13, MSW ’17). I was able to live on campus, away from home, and be fully independent, thanks to a specialized residence program at the University. My unique living situation gave me the opportunity to have many typical experiences that others with send not often get to have. Recognition of the uniqueness of my experiences were the catalyst for writing my book. I realized that my situation was a perfect case study to show how much people with Duchenne can accomplish if given the right environment, adequate support, and encouragement. I felt compelled to tell my story, in the hope that it could show exactly what people with Duchenne are capable of. In short, I hope to inspire others with Duchenne, as well as parents of people with Duchenne – it is usually devastating to receive the diagnosis, and seemingly hopeless. They hear my story, perhaps there is some future will not seem so dark. My book is called Prism: Shedding Light on Life with Duchenne. It is a memoir about my experiences with having Duchenne. The first three chapters detail the highs and lows of growing up while learning to adapt to an ever-changing disease. The majority of the book focuses on my time in college: living in the adaptive dorm, learning to be independent, and struggling to accept my limitations. 3: what advice would you give those who possibly want to write a book but are having trouble thinking of ideas or motivating themselves to write. When I started my book, I had no prior writing experience. I did not go to school for writing, and have no background in writing or English. I just dove right in and started it, and basically just learned as I went. So in terms of writing ability, anyone can develop their skills if they work at it. I would also say that any aspiring writers should read as much as they can—especially the genre they plan to write in. The best way to get a feel for the best way to put words in paragraphs together, as well as structure, is to see how the professionals do it 4: Where can people contact you in regards to your books? The best way to contact me currently is through my facebook page Prism a.k.a David’s Book https://www.facebook.com/Prism-aka-Davids-book-313605882386390

This episode is with Professor David Kirby. David coined the term ‘diegetic prototype’ to describe an important component of Design Fiction. He describes this and much more in his important book "Lab Coats in Hollywood: Science, Scientists and Cinema”. David’s book describes the way that science and technology is shown in films in such a way that shapes our imagination about the future, and the role of science and technology in fashioning the future. The book is full of examples that really bring home how cinema shapes the science and technology agenda in good ways and bad. I have learned a lot from David and his work.

This episode is a conversation with Scott Smtih, also known as Changeist on the social medias. Scott runs a boutique consultancy called Changeist and is a fellow futurist who is also exploring developing visual stories, TV shows and the like, about the future as part of his practice. He also just came out with an book in the midst of the pandemic which you should get — it’s called How To Future Leading and Sense-Making In An Age of Hyperchange. In this chat with Scott, we cover most all of that territory. We talk about what makes Design Fiction Design Fiction and not Science Fiction or Literary Fiction. We discuss David Kirby, who will be featured in a forthcoming episode, and the diegetic prototype.

 It's the story of the prodigal son and God's generosity of love READING Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32 All the tax collectors and sinners were coming near to listen to Jesus. And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying, "This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them." So Jesus told them this parable: "There was a man who had two sons. The younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me the share of the property that will belong to me.' So he divided his property between them. A few days later the younger son gathered all he had and traveled to a distant country, and there he squandered his property in dissolute living. When he had spent everything, a severe famine took place throughout that country, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed the pigs. He would gladly have filled himself with the pods that the pigs were eating; and no one gave him anything. But when he came to himself he said, 'How many of my father's hired hands have bread enough and to spare, but here I am dying of hunger! I will get up and go to my father, and I will say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son; treat me like one of your hired hands."' So he set off and went to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion; he ran and put his arms around him and kissed him. Then the son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.' But the father said to his slaves, 'Quickly, bring out a robe--the best one--and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. And get the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate; for this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found!' And they began to celebrate. "Now his elder son was in the field; and when he came and approached the house, he heard music and dancing. He called one of the slaves and asked what was going on. He replied, 'Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has got him back safe and sound.' Then he became angry and refused to go in. His father came out and began to plead with him. But he answered his father, 'Listen! For all these years I have been working like a slave for you, and I have never disobeyed your command; yet you have never given me even a young goat so that I might celebrate with my friends. But when this son of yours came back, who has devoured your property with prostitutes, you killed the fatted calf for him!' Then the father said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. But we had to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was deTad and has come to life; he was lost and has been found.'"   MUSIC Tell Out My Soul, St Anne's Cathedral Belfast There's a Wideness in God's Mercy, Brad Sondahl The King Shall Come, Trevor Thompson   Image photo of David Kirby, a gay activist who died of AIDS in 1990 with his father on his deathbed.

Christian Garcin et David Collin Las Vegas. Loin du Strip et de ses averses de fric “habitent” une poignée d’humains rejetés par les courants contraires aux marges de la société, jusque dans les tunnels de canalisation de la ville, aux abords du désert, les pieds dans les détritus de l’histoire, la tête dans les étoiles. Parmi eux, trois vétérans désassortis vivotent dans une relative bonne humeur, une solidarité tacite, une certaine convivialité minimaliste. Ici, chacun a fait sa guerre (Viêtnam, Irak) et chacun l’a perdue. Chacun trimballe sa dose de choc post-traumatique, sa propre couleur d’inadaptation à la vie “normale”. Au cœur de ce trio, indéchiffrable et silencieux, Hoyt Stapleton voyage dans les livres et dans le temps, à la reconquête patiente et défiante d’une mémoire muette, d’un langage du souvenir. Christian Garcin vit près de Marseille où il est né en 1959. Écrivain, voyageur, traducteur, il a publié des romans, des nouvelles, des poèmes, des essais, ainsi qu'un livre de photographies. Ses dernières parutions sont : Dans les pas d'Alexandra David-Néel (avec Eric Faye, Stock, 2018), Poèmes américains (Finitude, 2018). Dernières traductions : Edgar Allan Poe, Nouvelles intégrales T1 (avec Thierry Gillyboeuf, Phébus 2018) ; David Kirby, Le Ha-ha (poèmes, Actes Sud, 2018). Rencontre animée par David Collin, producteur radio et écrivain. Dernier livre paru : Vers les confins (Hippocampe, 2018). En partenariat avec le Club littéraire jurassien et la librairie La Méridienne. Enregistrée au Club 44 le 13 décembre 2018.

“A-wop-bop-a-loo-mop, a-lop-bam-boom!”And so rock and roll was born. And so American culture changed forever. So says David Kirby in Little Richard: The Birth of Rock ‘n' Roll (Continuum, 2009). “Tutti Frutti,” Little Richard's first hit, recorded by Robert “Bumps” Blackwell at Cosimo Matassa's J & M Studio in New Orleans in September 1955, co-written and sanitized by Dorothy LaBostrie after Richard's original lyric (“A-wop-bop-a-loo-mop, a-good-goddamn/Tutti Frutti, good booty”) was deemed a bit too racy for a recorded release (it was, after all, a song about anal copulation, writes the author), is the lynchpin around which Kirby builds a biography of one of the greats of twentieth-century American music and art. His story moves from Richard's childhood in Macon, Georgia, to his place among the greats of the old, weird America, to his legacy as the Architect of Rock. It's Kirby's contention, really, that Richard's story is America's story. It's filled with entrepreneurs, con artists, straights, gays, gospels, devils, showmen and, best of all, outrageous and booty shakin' music, and Little Richard Penniman, in a more than fifty-year career, embraces all of these and more with abandon.

First things first: this was probably the most fun I've had working through an STS monograph. (Really: Who doesn't like reading about Jurassic Park and King Kong?) In addition to being full of wonderful anecdotes about the film and television industries, David Kirby‘s Lab Coats in Hollywood: Science, Scientists, and Cinema (MIT Press, 2011) is also a very enlightening exploration of the role of science consultants on television and in film, and the negotiations of expertise involved in relationships between scientists and the cinema. Scholars of STS will recognize some of the major themes that Kirby raises in the course of a fascinating look behind the scenes of the cinematic production of “science”: negotiated definitions of accuracy and plausibility, technologies of virtual witnessing, the social construction of knowledge. Many of the chapters will change the way you see representations of scientists and their work in the movies and on TV, and Kirby's description of the filmic use of “diegetic prototypes,” or cinematic depictions of future technologies, is a stand-alone contribution in itself. This is a must-read for anyone interested in popular representations of science. Kirby describes the ways that visual media interpret, naturalize, and engage with scientific theories (be they well-accepted, controversial, or fantastical), and how some scientists in turn manipulate cinematic depictions for their own ends.

**Today's host(s):** Scot Landry and Fr. Matt Williams **Today's guest(s):** Fr. Roderick Vonhögen, founder and CEO of the Star Quest Production Network * [SQPN](http://www.sqpn.com) * [Catholic New Media Celebration](http://cnmc.sqpn.com) * [Catholic Media Guild](http://www.catholicmediaguild.com/) * [Father Roderick on Twitter](http://www.twitter.com/FatherRoderick) **Today's topics:** Dutch priest Fr. Roderick Vonhögen, a leader in Catholic new media, on his vocation as a priest and media evangelist **Summary of today's show:** Fr. Roderick Vonhögen, a Dutch priest who is a leader in Catholic new media, joined Scot and Fr. Matt to discuss how he discerned his vocation to the priesthood as a Dutch teen at Lourdes, and how Star Wars and the isolation of his first pastoral assignment led to the creation of the premier Catholic new media apostolate in the world, SQPN. **1st segment:** Scot welcomed Fr. Matt back to the show. Fr. Matt said this past weekend he was in Billerica for a young adult retreat, "Life is Good in the Holy Spirit" and then on Monday for the youth harbor cruise. The retreat is about moving deeper into the gifts of the Holy Spirit that we received at baptism and confirmation. In the middle of July they have their [Witness to Truth](http://www.one4boston.org/witness-to-truth) high school leadership institute and in August the [Witness to Hope](http://www.one4boston.org/witness-to-hope) middle school leadership institute. Institute is a misnomer because it's really a lot of fun. It's about getting to meet peers from all over the Archdiocese while going deeper into their faith. For the high school institute, they marry Steven Covey's "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" to elements of the faith. Today is the 60th anniversary of Pope Benedict's ordination and in Rome is the special celebration of the imposition of the pallium on new archbishops of the past year. Today is also Cardinal Seán's birthday. Wish him happy birthday tonight at the Cathedral during a Holy Hour in honor of Pope Benedict's ordination. **2nd segment:** Scot and Fr. Matt welcome Fr. Roderick Vonhögen to show. He is a priest of the Archdiocese of Utrecht, the Netherlands and CEO of SQPN. Some of our listeners may have met Fr. Roderick last year at the Catholic New Media Celebration here in Boston. Scot asked him about his journey to the priesthood. He never thought of himself as a priest as a child. He didn't think of it as a glamorous or exciting life. He wanted to travel the world and experience new things. He's always worked in media. As a child, he and his brother bought one of the first consumer computers on the market. When he was about 17 years old, he was one of the few young people going to church on Sundays and remembered fierce debates with his classmates. At the time, Pope John Paul II came to visit the Netherlands and it was a disastrous visit because, basically, he wasn't welcomed. The criticism of the Church made him ask, if the Church was so outdated, why had it lasted for 2,000 years. So he started to study his faith and began to see the beauty and truth of the Church.He began to conclude that if faith was so important, he started to feel the pull of prayer and didn't know how to do it. His father gave him an abbreviated version of the Breviary and he began to pray during the day. That's when God saw the door open and Fr. Roderick felt God pulling him. He began to ask God to show him that God is real in order for his life to be changed and God took that invitation. His parents became concerned he was praying so much because it was so atypical. His parents were regular parishioners, but they were not welcoming to the idea of the priesthood for him because it was so counter-cultural. They did send him on a weeklong youth conference at Lourdes, France, and that was such an amazing experience, kind of like world Youth Day. There were 50,000 youth there and he finally found lots of young people like him. He was also introduced to Eucharistic Adoration there. He met many young priests, which he'd never seen. During that pilgrimage, he realized God wanted something from him, although he still had not thought of the priesthood. So he began to pray to Mary at the grotto in Lourdes and asked her to tell him. He told her that he would not leave until he got an answer. Around 2am, it suddenly dawned on him that he was to become a priest. There was no doubt in his mind. So he went home to tell his parents and they were shocked. From that day on, he had to continually convince his parents he was serious and it wasn't just wacky idea from France that would go away. They sent him to their parish priest for whom he had an immense respect. The priest told him that if he had to choose again he wouldn't have become a priest and said it wasn't a good life. Fr. Roderick was shocked and felt sorry for him, but it didn't change his mind. Since then other priests have confirmed him in his vocation. Since that experience in the grotto, he's never had a doubt. Scot said in his life, he's also been very direct in his prayer when seeking God's will in difficult decisions. He's also found that God has always answered his prayer in those circumstances. Fr. Roderick said God never lets you down, even if the answer is not always what you expect. Fr. Matt said it's amazing that when you give God that time in prayer, He does speak to us in that perseverance. God delights when we come before Him in that way. Fr. Roderick said Mary played a significant role in his faith. She was the go-to person in his faith because he was a complete newbie in faith. Even the idea of praying to God was difficult. But praying to Mary felt so easy because she's a mother and she knows how children behave and misbehave sometimes. He felt she could bring him closer to her Son.After all she was Jesus' own teacher and guide. Fr. Matt pointed out how John Paul in his pontificate always pointed us to Mary, to go through her to Jesus. He asked how Mary helped him grow in his priesthood. Fr. Roderick said in his media work, Mary is his guide. She literally carried Jesus to the world in her pregnancy and at the wedding at Cana she was there to mediate the situation and bring people to Christ. In his media work, he tries to model that work in a Marian way. His job is to bring people into contact with Jesus. When he records a show or writes a blog post, he's doing what Mary has done, bringing people to Jesus. **3rd segment:** Scot said Fr. Roderick helps lead the Church in new media. He asked Fr. Roderick why he went into this work. Fr. Roderick said it goes back to his first pastoral assignment as a priest when he was assigned to a small, remote Dutch village. It was such a different life for him as someone who grew up in a city. There were little means of communication with the outside world and he felt very isolated from the world. At about that time, the Internet was becoming popular and he had been used to working with it at the university. So he got an early dial-up connection and started to notice that there was a huge community of Star Wars fan, which had been an ongoing passion of his. He'd felt like Luke Skywalker, stuck in a little village, dreaming of going out into the world. At the time George Lucas was working on the Star Wars prequels and he started to blog about it. He got many visitors to his website, up to 40,000 per day. Then people knew he was a priest so people began to ask him questions about faith related to Star Wars and he started doing pre-catechesis. He eventually got invited by Lucasfilm to go to San Francisco to visit their studios. And at a convention of fans, people recognized him as the Star Wars priest and he learned that people returned to their faith because of their contact with him. Scot said Pope Benedict has encouraged Catholics to move into the "digital continent" and use the elements of the culture to bring Christ to people. Fr. Roderick said you often just need a spark to kindle the faith. After his assignment ended in that village, his bishop sent him to Rome to study for doctorate in theology. While there, he encountered some people doing media training at the Pontifical Gregorian University, and he was told he could do a second study in social communications for free. After two or three weeks, he felt suddenly that this is what he needed to do. He was learning how to engage people and how to reach people who are not Catholic. His bishop gave him permission to change from his theology doctorate to just social communications. After 2 years he returned to the Netherlands in the village of Amersfoort, where he has 10 churches. That's when he discovered podcasting, which is like radio, but you could download it over the Internet to your computer or iPod (or when they became available years after, iPhones). at the time he received an invitation from the Vatican to speak at a conference on Church and the media. While he was there, he decided to record a podcast of Pope John Paul to show the conference how you could make one so easily. But while he was there, John Paul became sick and was rushed to the hospital. On a reflex, he jumped in a cab to the hospital and began recording an audio diary of those days. He put that online and within a couple of days he had thousands of listeners around the world. People asked him to tour Roman sights and explain them so he began doing that. After John Paul recovered, he returned home. But not long after, John Paul fell sick again and Fr. Roderick wanted to be in Rome at that moment when the Pope needed. He was in St. Peter's Square the night John Paul died and was continuously recording as it happened. This was unlike anything that was being done in the regular media. He was a priest giving his personal take on the events, not a reporter doing a stand up. He was also there during the conclave when Pope Benedict XVI was elected. That was  the beginning of SQPN. Scot asked him what it was like for him when he heard Pope Benedict's name announced after the election. Fr. Roderick remembers how excited he was to hear Cardinal Ratzinger's name announced. He recalls being able to get inside the Vatican before the conclave to interview the cardinals. So he went in where the priests were allowed to go to concelebrate Mass at noon and then was standing in the place where the cardinals gathered during their lunch. He met Cardinal Lustiger of Paris and Cardinal Ratzinger was there and said at the time saying that he could be standing in the presence of the next Pope. Because Fr. Roderick has a responsibility to his parish, he needed to make other kinds of programs than travelogues to draw people into the life of the Church. So he went back to his roots in the Star Wars blog, and thought about audio programs on topics like Star Wars and J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and even Harry Potter, which was controversial at the time. He saw how he could use those topics to talk about the Catholic symbols and themes within those works. He called the first series, The Secrets of Harry Potter, and immediately had a huge audience. Just a few years ago, Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code was all the rage and then his book Angels and Demons became a movie too, so he decided to expose the ridiculousness within those books. He went to Rome for one day, starting at 6am, and went to all the places described in Dan Brown's books and told the real story of them. He made thirteen or fourteen episodes of an hour each. He called it the Secrets of Angels and Demons. Apple put that series on the front page of the iTunes store as a recommended pick and he had 50,000 people who'd never listened to what he'd done before. Many of them came into other programs and became part of the SQPN community. He's heard from many people who started listening to his first episodes of Harry Potter and Angels and Demons who have since converted with their whole families to the Catholic faith. **4th segment:**  It's time to announce the winner of the weekly **WQOM Benefactor Raffle**.

We'll be announcing the winner each Wednesday during “The Good Catholic Life” program. **5th segment:** Scot asked how many programs Fr. Roderick has done and how many he's currently doing. Fr. Roderick said on the weekends he's busy celebrating Mass at all his parishes. During the week, he has three different jobs in media. In addition to the podcasting, he has a television show on Catholic life in the Netherlands and a radio show, both in Dutch. On the other days, he does his podcasts, including the Break, in which he talks about anything he's passionate about, including movies, TV, computers, and more. He produces two Tolkien-based shows, including the Secrets of Middle-Earth where he talks with co-hosts about the writing of Tolkien while they "walk" around in the online game about Middle-Earth. He also has a show about the production of the two movies about the Hobbit called Secrets of the Hobbit. He also does a show about an online game called Farmville, where they talk about any Christian themes that come about as they also talk about the game itself. They start with something that's popular in modern culture, and do the show with faithful Catholics, and by an invisible process that Catholic identity comes across. They build a friendship with the audience, which is the cornerstone of evangelization. If you trust someone, you trust the faith and ideals of someone. He does a show called Health and Holiness, combining the topic of becoming fit physically and spiritually. It started when he started training to run a marathon. the Catholic approach to health concerns all aspects of life, including the spiritual. We're called to become saints, so the show is a progress report on the work to become a saint. Fr. Matt asked how priests and parishes could better utilize new media to reach out and better evangelize their communities. Fr. Roderick said it's the same advice Pope Benedict gave when he encouraged priests not to think of new media as something not for them. We need to give a heart and a soul to the Internet. You don't have to force yourself to learn all kinds of technology that aren't you. The moist important thing is to be out in the social networks as a priest in a personal way to help people, to be with them, and to share their life with the people. He's found his own parishioners who might be old and not tech-savvy and they connect with the personal life he shares with them. Young people are looking for models of identification. They need to see the personal face of the Church in the priest and if they see a priest concerned.
