Station XV – Episode 16 – Priests and politics
We promise – this is the last one where we’ll be talking about this election. But with both the N.Z. and U.S. elections complete, we’ll talk about Obama and Key, but also about the plight of Christian parties and MMP, the persecution of Christians around the world, the flurry of ordinations in New Zealand in the next couple of months, and we end with a great rendition of “Panis Angelicus” from the new album by The Priests (www.thepriests.com).

Familia – Episode 3
In this special edition of the Familia Podcast we commemorate the 40th anniversary of Humanae Vitae with part one of a two part interview about contraception with Dr. Chris Pemberton. Chris holds a Ph.D. in Endocrinology, and he works as a biomedical researcher for the Christchurch School of Medicine, and in this interview he discusses the medical facts and social implications of the advent of the contraceptive pill.
Station XV – Episode 15 – Well, what did you expect?
It would be very difficult to have an episode a few weeks out from a general election here in NZ (and one in the States too) and not talk about politics, now wouldn’t it? So, in this episode, we talk about the NZ election, the American election, welfare and the election, the synod of Bishops and the Bible, and an IronicCatholic story about complaining parishoners becoming diocesan hermits?!? Something for everyone.

Catechiwi — Episode 2
Fr Merv Duffy returns for the second episode of Catechiwi, the new monthly podcast in The 15th Station stable. In the October programme, NZ Catholic editor Gavin Abraham asks Fr Merv about Mary — who she was, what her role was in the life of Jesus, how the Church honours her and much more. And, as a Marist priest, Fr Merv certainly knows a thing or two about this wonderful woman.
