The good people at Deacons Pod, a podcast produced by the Paulist Fathers, invited me to join them earlier this month for an hour-long conversation. I had a wonderful time chatting with Deacon Mike Hayes and Deacon Mike Berstene. We talked about Pope Leo (and my new book about him), my vocation, the media, 9/11, and my recent bout with cancer. (Have I mentioned lately that September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month?)

Thank you, guys, for an invigorating hour — and thank you, too, to my friend Paul Snatchko, the Paulist’s Director of Communications, for his friendship and good cheer all these years.
