Umar and Augustine meet in front of the Pope's old novitiate in Saint Louis to meet with eminent local historian Christian Naffziger to discuss the neighborhood, gentrification, French people, Duke Ferdinand, flat earthers, confederate monuments, and pretty much anything Fr. Augustine's A.D.D. can sneak in...

Synopsis Pope Francis, beloved of medievalists, died on April 21, 2025, so we're here with all you might care to know about the forthcoming conclave (now a film starring Ralph Finnes), the history of conclaves, and why medievalists loved Francis so much, anyway. Notes 1/ Benedict went to Mater Ecclesiae Monastery, I think. It's in … Continue reading "Episode 92: Emergency Popecast"

Segunda-feira, 20 de março de 2023. Eu sou Leo Lopes e está no ar o sétimo episódio do Castnews, o podcast semanal de notícias para podcasters. Aqui você ouve, toda segunda-feira pela manhã, um resumo das principais notícias sobre o mercado de podcast no Brasil e no mundo. O papa participando de um podcast, a nova interface de áudio digital da Shure, dados da News Report sobre consumo de podcast e a academia de podcasts do LinkedIn estão entre as principais notícias que você vai ouvir nesta edição do Castnews! Notícias 01 – Que o Papa é pop todo mundo já sabe, mas agora o sumo pontífice da igreja católica apostólica romana também é podcaster! Em comemoração ao aniversário de 10 anos de papado, o papa Francisco esteve no podcast The Popecast (podemos chamar de Papacast, por favor?), produzido nas mídias do Vaticano. Durante a conversa, que foi publicada como um monólogo, ele comentou sobre seus momentos preferidos desses 10 anos de papado, sobre a guerra e também fez um pedido de aniversário: a paz. O podcast com o papa Francisco está disponível na íntegra no site Vatican News e no feed do The Popecast. Ler a notícia completa 02 – Na semana passada, a Shure anunciou o lançamento de sua nova interface de áudio digital, o Shure MVX2U. Quem trabalha com áudio já conhece a qualidade dos produtos da Shure, mas a novidade mesmo é que, com essa nova interface, qualquer microfone dinâmico com conexão XLR se transforma em um microfone condensador com conexão USB tipo C. Isso significa poder conectar qualquer microfone direto em um computador sem a necessidade de outra interface de áudio! A interface X2 apresenta dois recursos adicionais: o modo automático, que ajusta automaticamente as configurações do microfone, e o manual que permite que você crie presets de acordo com suas preferências. A empresa já disponibilizou também um guia para os usuários com todas as informações técnicas e modos de uso da interface de áudio digital. O início oficial das vendas ainda não tem data, e o valor da interface também não foi divulgado até o momento. Ler a notícia completa 03 – Essa semana foi divulgado o News Report da Global sobre podcasts de notícias. A pesquisa indica que a audiência de podcast está crescendo a cada ano e também que fontes de notícias confiáveis são mais importantes do que nunca – e os podcasts têm sido destaque na categoria. Os podcasts de notícias não só estão sendo hiper consumidos, como também têm sido muito atraentes para marcas e anunciantes (inclusive, se quiser anunciar aqui no Castnews, manda um e-mail que a gente conversa, sem compromisso, beleza?). A pesquisa da Global ainda mostrou que os podcasts estão superando outros formatos de notícias, dando perspectivas diferentes, desafiando o pensamento dos ouvintes e mostrando análises aprofundadas de todo tipo de assunto. O conteúdo completo da pesquisa você encontra em Global.com ou lá no Castnews.com.br Ler a notícia completa AINDA EM NOTÍCIAS DA SEMANA 04 – Nos últimos episódios, nós falamos muito em YouTube, mas quem resolveu aumentar o investimento em podcasts dessa vez foi o LinkedIn. A rede social de relacionamento profissional está lançando o LinkedIn Podcast Academy, um programa de treinamento online que promete passar todo o conhecimento necessário para lançar um podcast de sucesso. O LinkedIn está procurando usar o novo programa para aumentar sua audiência de podcasts, considerando que cada vez mais profissionais têm tido interesse na mídia para acelerar suas carreiras. Hoje eles já contam com uma gama bem grande de podcasts com foco profissional, mas o Podcast Academy tá vindo pra expandir ainda mais esse meio, ao mesmo tempo em que oferece novas oportunidades para criadores de conteúdo em potencial. O programa que inaugura o Podcast Academy está sendo lançado hoje mesmo, e a temporada completa vai ter 19 episódios. Ler a notícia completa 05 – A Rephonic, um banco de dados de mais de 2,5 milhões de podcasts, resolveu mapear quais as categorias de podcast mais ouvidas no mundo. Olhando para as classificações da Apple Podcasts em alguns países da Europa, a empresa percebeu que a categoria Sociedade & Cultura era a que aparecia com mais frequência. Por isso, a Rephonic decidiu olhar mais de perto e detalhar isso melhor pra descobrir qual é a categoria de podcast mais comum de cada país e no mundo. Em nível mundial, o top três assuntos preferidos dos ouvintes de podcast foram: Sociedade & Cultura em primeiro lugar, True Crime em segundo, e Comédia em terceiro. Ler a notícia completa 06 – E o Stream On do Spotify continua trazendo novidades para podcasters, mesmo uma semana depois do evento ter acontecido. A de hoje é que o Spotify fechou uma parceria com o Patreon. Isso mesmo, o serviço de assinaturas Patreon. Com isso, a partir de agora os podcasters vão poder disponibilizar conteúdo exclusivo de assinantes para os membros do Patreon pelas próprias contas do Spotify, e também permitir que os criadores recebam doações e pagamentos diretos dos seus fãs. Além disso, os podcasters agora podem fazer upload ou gravar seu conteúdo diretamente no Spotify for Podcasters, publicar podcasts com vídeo dentro do Spotify, adicionar caixas de perguntas e enquetes em cada episódio, entre vários novos recursos muito legais e muito úteis pra quem se aventura em produzir podcasts. Ler a notícia completa E MAIS 07 – Você já parou pra se perguntar sobre como vai ser a mídia podcast daqui a alguns anos? Se ainda vamos consumir o conteúdo do mesmo jeito, ou se a tecnologia vai mudar? Bom, o Samuel Leite, que é colunista do Castnews, pensou e escreveu sobre isso lá no portal. Alguns dos apontamentos que o Samuel fez são muito interessantes, como por exemplo a tendência dos podcasts em 3D, ou com áudio binaural – que são aqueles com sonorização ambiental, em que o áudio de fundo do podcast interage com o sentido do ouvinte. O texto do Samuel também abordou outras tendências como inteligências artificiais, podcasts interativos e, é claro, eventos de podcast, agora que a gente pode se reunir novamente. É um conteúdo muito rico, e eu recomendo muito a leitura. Ler a notícia completa 08 – Na última quarta-feira, o podcast Projeto Querino comemorou a marca de um milhão e meio de downloads. O Projeto Querino é um podcast jornalístico que foi lançado em agosto do ano passado, produzido pela Rádio Novelo, publicado em série na Revista Piauí e apresentado pelo jornalista Tiago Rogero – que também é o idealizador do projeto. A proposta do podcast é entender como a História explica o Brasil de hoje, sem medo de falar verdades e cutucar feridas da memória coletiva. Então aqui fica os nossos parabéns pro Tiago e pra toda a equipe do Projeto Querino pela marca de downloads, e nossa torcida pra que o podcast cresça cada vez mais. Ler a notícia completa HOJE NO GIRO SOBRE PESSOAS QUE FAZEM A MÍDIA: 09 – Temos um lançamento do futuro por aqui! As apresentadoras MariMoon e Titi Muller, já bem conhecidas por quem assistia a MTV dos anos de 2008 a 2013, anunciaram no Twitter e no Instagram que vão lançar juntas o podcast Acessíveis Cast – mas, por enquanto, não divulgaram a data. Mari e Titi têm feito lives no instagram @acessiveis_cast interagindo com o seu público. Esse vai ser o primeiro trabalho conjunto delas desde o programa Acesso MTV, que parou de ser transmitido em 2013. O que será que vem por aí? Vamos ficar no aguardo pra saber não só sobre o podcast, mas também como vai ser a recepção do público, já que assim como o podcast Bocadinhas do Lucas Inutilismo, o programa parece que vai ter bastante engajamento antes mesmo da estreia. Ler a notícia completa SOBRE LANÇAMENTOS: 10 – O portal BP Money de economia e investimentos, criou uma parceria muito legal com três empreendedoras, que planejam aumentar a troca de experiências entre mulheres no mundo dos negócios, em um podcast. Essas mulheres são ninguém menos que Izabela Dolabela Simon, Jaqueline Barsi e Renata Zanuto, que lançaram juntas o podcast “Fazer Diferente, Faz Diferença”, disponível em todas as principais plataformas e também no YouTube. O programa foi lançado no dia da mulher, e já tem dois episódios no feed. Ler a notícia completa RECOMENDAÇÕES NACIONAIS: 11 – E nossa recomendação nacional da semana é de um podcast feito de pai para pais. O Parentalidade Preta é apresentado pelo Diego Silva, um homem preto que é educador parental e pai de duas crianças negras. O programa promove uma discussão sobre paternidade e parentalidade, e oferece um espaço seguro de trocas e ferramentas de empoderamento para pais, mães e qualquer pessoa que tenha contato com pessoas pretas – tudo isso de uma perspectiva afrocentrada, ou seja, que tem a vivência negra como objetivo principal. O conteúdo é sensível, potente e indispensável para quem tem esse contato com a parentalidade. O Parentalidade Preta está disponível em todas as principais plataformas de podcast, então você pode ouvir agora mesmo no seu agregador preferido.

Het is het grootste financiële schandaal uit de Europese geschiedenis: de crash van het Italiaanse zuivelconcern Parmalat. Donatello en Eveline duiken in de geschiedenis van het bedrijf dat ooit de trots van Italië was en een regio op de kaart zette. Wat was de rol van de CEO & founding father Calisto Tanzi? Hoe kon het zo gigantisch misgaan, waardoor veel kleine spaarders en melkboeren al hun geld kwijtraakten. En wat is er gebeurd met de hoofdrolspelers? Nieuws is highbrow en lowbrow deze week: de Popecast van Paus Franciscus die deze week het tienjarig jubileum viert van zijn pontificaat, de karikatuur van linkse leider Elly Schlein en de bezweerde crisis van de grootste sterren van Italië. Drankje is een Lambrusco en de cultuurtip is La Legge di Lidia Poët, te zien op Netflix  Studenten die zich willen opgeven voor de speciale studentenspecial in Utrecht volgende week 20 maart, kunnen mailen naar usvi.etna@gmail.com. Belangrijk is dat je studie een link met Italië heeft (voltijdstudie, minor, vakken of via een uitwisseling). Hopelijk tot dan! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Di cosa parla il nuovo podcast "Popecast" di Papa Francesco? Daniele Di Ianni lo ha chiesto proprio al pontefice.

Now, here at The Popecast we normally cover those men who are considered to be “valid popes” – that is, a legitimate part of the unbroken line of succession in the Roman Catholic Church that began when Jesus gave the keys to Peter and, as is commonly understood, sits now with Pope Francis. And while there have been grandiose antipopes throughout history – men who we may one day talk about in more detail – today's subject is another case entirely. Few may know about the man from Kansas who claimed to be pope, and unironically so. Recently he died, so today's episode will tell the story of and serve as a tribute for David Bawden, the man who for the past 32 years had – by his estimation – reigned over the true Catholic Church as Pope Michael.

Matt had the pleasure of being a guest on Real Presence Radio out in the Midwest, on a show hosted by none other than our most recent special guest Fr. Richard Kunst, to talk about the origins of The Popecast and his own personal favorite popes and papal history stories, among other things.

This episode is about another one of those popes who you've probably never heard of, but is definitely one to remember. He was saintly from an early age, and despite desiring a life of anonymity in his service to Christendom, was plucked by the emperor from obscurity to become pope and, ultimately, usher in one of the biggest reform movements in Catholicism's 2,000 year history.

This week's episode is a very special one indeed. Our pope today needs no introduction, being one of the finest men to ever grace the Chair of St. Peter, but he does need a long episode to tell the whole tale of his long and eventful life. October 22 – the day that this episode is being released – is this man's feast day and the anniversary of the 1978 inauguration of his papacy, so raise a glass (or a pierogi) for one of the greatest of all pontiffs.

Our pope this week voted in literally one million papal elections before it was finally his turn. At least it probably seemed like that to him. He was a child of the nobility who served the Church from an early age, but there was just one small thing left to do after he got elected as the new Bishop of Rome...

This episode is a bit unique. It's early December, so our Catholic listeners will know that there are two mega huge feast days celebrating Mary in the first half of this month – the Immaculate Conception on December 8 and Our Lady of Guadalupe on December 12. So we thought it might be fitting to break from the usual format and talk about the Mother of God under one of those titles, and what two 20th-Century popes have to say about her.

Our pope this week was the first to hold the most popular papal name in Catholic Church history. A divisive figure in his early days, he repented of his old ways and went on to become so renowned that the emperor himself prostrated himself at this pope's feet. It just so happens that Episode #53 is on Pope #53. We swear we didn't realize this until after the episode was recorded.

The pope we're talking about today had to follow the Fisherman himself. He's a man who not only knew the Apostles, but was taught and ordained by them. Not to mention he's one of only two popes – not counting Peter himself – to be mentioned in Sacred Scripture.

This week on the Popecast we have a very special guest: Author Joe Heschmeyer. Joe is a fellow pope nerd like you and me who's just written a great book on the papacy entitled Pope Peter: Defending the Church's Most Distinctive Doctrine in a Time of Crisis. Joe was once a litigator living in Washington DC and then was a seminarian for the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas, but he now teaches at the Holy Family School of Faith in Kansas City, Missouri and continues to run the popular blog Shameless Popery.

This time around we're doing a little something different – a topic that's more foundational to the very papacy itself – to celebrate the 50th episode of The Popecast.

Our pope this week is one unlike any other of the 265 successors of St. Peter. Smart and eloquent with a pen though he was, for most of his life he was best known as a smooth-talking womanizer and deadbeat dad whose only goal was elevating his own career, all the way up to being crowned as the emperor's imperial poet. And then he met the pope (who he hated), and everything changed. -- BECOME A PATRON of The Popecast at patreon.com/thepopecast to support our mission and get some nice perks -- Today's episode is sponsored by our friends over at Sock Religious (sockreligious.com), where you'll find all sorts of different saint-themed socks to spice up your Sunday best.

Our pope today, the first and only British pope in history, is a man who came from nothing and was elevated to the papacy. A monk who would've rather not been pope, he faced down emperors and kings and shut down the entire Eternal City when a heretic threatened to hold it hostage.

This episode is on a pope who was already almost 80 years old by the time he was elected, and he was really hoping to be able to retire in peace before his fellow cardinals got the bright idea to put him in charge.

The third and final installment of our series on one of the greatest popes in history. He was the first non-Italian pope in almost 500 years and the youngest in over a century, having been elected at the young papal age of 58. He also would have the third-longest reign in history, serving as pope for almost 27 years, and trailing only Pope Pius IX and St. Peter himself in terms of longevity. He's one of the most traveled world leaders in history and the most visible, after logging over 680,000 miles as pope and being seen in-person by half a billion people. This is the story spanning Pope St. John Paul II's monumental papacy, from his election in 1978 to his death in 2005.

How should we categorize various Papal difficulties? How can Nicaea be considered an ecumenical council if it wasn't called by the Pope? Didn't Pope John XXII err in his teaching about the beatific vision? What does that mean for infallibility? I'm joined by Matt Sewell from the Popecast to consider these questions and more. The Classical Theism Podcast aims to defend Catholic Christian ideas in conversation. With the help of various guests, I defend three pillars of the Catholic Christian worldview: (1) the God of classical theism exists, (2) Jesus is our Messiah and Lord, and (3) He founded the Catholic Church. We place a strong emphasis on the first pillar, defending classical theism, drawing upon the work of Thomistic philosopher Dr. Edward Feser and many others.

The series so many listeners to The Popecast have been asking about and waiting for is back for Part Two. Our pope this week, once again, is one of the finest men to ever grace the Chair of St. Peter. Ordained a priest in secret at the start of the Communist occupation of Poland, he was a bishop at 38, an archbishop at 44, and a cardinal at 47. Though he was gifted with a towering intellect and a love for academics, his greatest joy was spending time in the outdoors – canoeing, camping, and praying with his friends. This is the story spanning Pope St. John Paul II's priesthood and tenure as bishop, archbishop, and cardinal in Poland.

It's finally here. The episode so many of you have all been waiting for. And this is just part one… Our pope this week is one of the finest men to ever grace the Chair of St. Peter. His life was one of unimaginable suffering, having been under the thumb of both the Nazis and the Communists at different points in his life. A renaissance man, he was equal parts philosopher and poet – exercising the head and the heart with unrivaled passion. Losing his earthly mother at age 9, he's perhaps best known for his devotion to another Mother – God's Mother. This is the story of his early life.

Our pope this week is one of the greatest heroes of the ancient Church that you've never heard of. Well, at least, not until now. He was only pope for a short time, but his witness and heroic martyrdom left a mark that has echoed down through the centuries. Almost 18 centuries, in fact.

Netflix's new film "The Two Popes" is a recently-released biographical drama of the friendship between Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI and Pope Francis, when the latter was still Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio. The film has been mostly praised in the wider culture and predominantly criticized inside Catholic circles.

It's a Popecast Christmas episode this week. Not only did this guy take his turn at fighting off the heresy that had infected a majority of the world's bishops, but he stood by one of the Church's greatest bishops and saints, and he may have even been the one to officially declare the day we celebrate Jesus' birth.

Our pope this week – one of the notorious so-called Bad Popes – was what the kids might call “a player”. A man of loose morals who only got the job because on his deathbed dear old dad made Roman officials pinky swear to elect his kid pope. Oh, and he was killed after being caught in bed with a married woman … at the hands of her jealous husband, no less.

We're back this week with an episode on a pope who was equal parts lion and lamb. His blunt writing on papal authority was a respectful dunk on the eastern emperor, and served as that teaching's foundation for centuries, but in the same breath he gave away all his earthly possessions before the end, and willingly died penniless.

On this week's episode, it's another one of the “Bad Popes”. This guy loved partying so much, and was so bad at managing money, that one contemporary said he spent three pontificates worth of dough – everything from the guy before him, all of his own money, and all of his successor's. Oh, and Martin Luther was stirring up a rebellion, and this pope didn't do much to stop it.

On this episode of the Popecast it's a guy who historian Eamon Duffy listed as one of the 10 Popes Who Shook the World. He was friends with a couple of bad popes, did some shady stuff himself in early life, then had a profound conversion and laid the groundwork for reform of the Church that we're still feeling over 500 years later.

On the 160th anniversary of the death of St. John Vianney, patron of parish priests, Pope Francis released a letter addressed to all the priests of the world.

This week is a Popecast unlike any other. Our pope this episode was not only the first in history to resign his office, but he did so after being exiled alongside his archrival, a man who had set himself up as the Church's first antipope. And the craziest part about it? Both of them are now saints. Also, we talk about beards at the end – thanks to a question for Nick, one of our newest patrons!

The pope we're talking about today was mild-mannered and monkish on the outside, but tough as nails on the inside. He's went toe to toe with the tiny tyrant for 10 years, and was imprisoned for 6 of them. Never one to let the Church be bullied, he returned the papacy to the respect it deserved, after decades of being drug through the proverbial mud.

This week's pope was one of the only guys to have been an anti-pope before getting legitimately elected, he pretty much killed his predecessor, and was a bit of a wuss to boot.

Papst mit Fetisch? Warum wollte die Heilige Inquisition einen Papst aus den Geschichtsbüchern tilgen? Bei allen Skandalen, die die Kirche im Laufe der Zeit erlebte, war keiner so verheerend, wie der, den Papst Subraca I. initiierte. Obwohl sich vom Vatikan alle Mühe gegeben wurde, sein Vermächtnis zu unterdrücken, ist es heute überall in der Welt des Klerus zu sehen. Wisst ihr was es ist? Ein neuer Popecast aus der Reihe #diestellvertreter berichtet über einen verrückten und von einem Fetisch getriebenen Papst.

How would you like to be the first pope to not be named a saint? First in 350 years and the only non-saint pope in 5 centuries was still pretty holy, but people thought he might be heretic.

Johannes XXI. (1276-1277) war als Petrus Hispanus einer der einflussreichsten Mediziner des Mittelalters. Bevor er das Papstamt bekleidete verfasste er Rezepte zur Bekämpfung von vielerlei Leiden, wie Pusteln am Allerwertesten oder Nierensteinen. Auch zu den hochaktuellen Thema Empfängnisverhütung äußerte er sich. Seine Liebe zu den Wissenschaften endete schließlich verhängnisvoll, in einem der wohl spektakulärsten Papsttode der Geschichte.

We discuss the first single from The Pope's upcoming Prog Rock album. Terrance Martin is a producer or something, and I guess at the forefront of shoe-horning jazz into pop albums. Then when we run out of music to talk about we alienate everyone with religion! Then we stick with the theme of all the things you're not supposed to talk about and follow up religion with politics. When is Donald Trump releasing a prog rock album? Maybe we should make one for him. Also YouTubers, Felicia Day, how are these related? They're not. Shut up. You're still reading so just listen to it. co-host Rich

I was considering calling this the "Popecast," but then common sense intervened.  If you're not familiar with the man or his work, then you NEED to listen to this.

Fear not, this isn’t quite as horribly overbearing as it could have been. The ranting is actually fairly under control, and the self-important pontificating not quite as reckless as it could so easily have been, partly because I wasn’t quite as liberal with the gin as I have been in the past. The reason it’s called the Popecast is because of this amazing little story about Catholics in the States issuing death threats to a kid who took a communion wafer out of the church with him.  The hilarious PZ Myers then got involved, threatening to show them what real desecration would look like, and the pandemonium reached all new levels of shrillness. The thing that really got my goat about all this was not so much that Catholics took offence, but more the level of the hysteria and the language of persecution.  It was honestly described as kidnapping and as a hate crime by various loonies, and there was nothing like enough ‘Oh fucking grow up and get the fuck over it’ being said.  People seem to be seeking all sorts of odd legal protections for their crazy superstitions these days, and I am flabberghasted that a particular kind of idea is being so fucking mollycoddled as to be deemed immune from criticism and contempt.  Come on, people, fuck your religious convictions and learn to deal with the fact that most of the planet thinks they’re crazy - and that applies to atheists as well. Anyhow, I promise this doesn’t take over too much of the podcast, and that the music is given plenty of space to breathe. Toadcast #33 - The Popecast 01.
