Familia – Episode 2 – Election Special
With just over 5 weeks to go until the NZ General Election and the US Presidential Election, we thought that it would be a good idea to have a special election edition of the Familia Podcast. In this edition we speak to Father Peter Fitzsimons about politics, morality and voting, and we offer some practical tips to consider when thinking about casting your vote.

Station XV – Episode 14 – Politics at the dinner table
It’s kind of hard to ignore it with an election both here in NZ and over in the USA. This month we talk about an open letter from the NZCCSS to all political candidates on poverty issues, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi getting things very wrong with regards to the Catholic teaching on abortion, an Auckland-based homosexual publication slamming the Catholic bishops’ pre-election statement as bigoted and ignorant, the tragedy in Orissa, and the cancelled beauty pageant for nuns!

Happy birthday to us!
Awww….look at our little podcast. One year old already! To celebrate, we have a chat to George about what is was like to be at WYD in Sydney. We also talk about the Bishops on the election, the Lambeth conference and Anglican/Catholic unity, and New Zealand’s apparent journey to a hot unpleasant place in a hand-carried shopping container with the “Boobs on Bikes” parade. We also talk a little about our new upcoming podcasts! What a show!

It’s a bit sickle-ing
You’d think there’s only one story to talk about this month – Fr.Peter Murnane and friends bursting the balloon over the Waihopai spy base. But while we do give some airtime to that, we also talk about the Pope’s visit to the U.S.A., priests from other cultures, American politicians and receiving Communion, and a fantastic, uplifting, pro-life story.
