  • Apple TV Show Depicts Shocking Eucharistic Desecration, Bishop Barron on Tucker, And NYC’s Insane Mayoral Race
    Jun 4 2025

    In today’s show Tom and Erika tackle Eucharistic desecration in Apple TV+’s “Your Friends & Neighbors.” How do we handle blasphemy in our culture? Unsurprisingly, the FBI Richmond memo was much worse than it let on, but good news from Bishop Barron’s appearance on the Tucker Carlson show! Plus, a Twilight Zone look at the tight (and insane) NYC mayoral race and Senator Kennedy at it again. All this and more on the LOOPcast!

  • Pride Month Evaporates in 2025: What Happened?
    Jun 2 2025

    June is here and we have one question: where did all the rainbows go? Pittsburgh gets a brand new steel deal, Poland has a brand new president, and Tim Walz goes on a brand new tour… to apologize? The Dems have picked a new spokesperson for young men: a self-identified queer, plus-sized woman. Finally, an antisemitic attack in Colorado. All this and more on the LOOPcast!

This podcast was an excellent experience on a very difficult topic. We were presented with some events that occurred this week that are difficult to understand and accept. Whenever I speak with people in the hierarchy, I am told that I must accept and obey. In this podcast that message was reinforced however we were also given the permission to feel wrong by what happened and the freedom to Xpress those feelings. Congratulations on a job well done and keep up the great work. May God bless you in this holy season.

A very challenging podcast.
