Welcome to the new website
We’ve finally updated our website! It’s taken a lot of work to migrate from our old system to the new, but we hope you enjoy the result. We’ve added in all the various features you’d expect of a Web 2.0 buzzword-compliant site: you can follow our Twitter and Facebook profiles in the right sidebar; comment on our podcasts; tune in to specific programmes (as opposed to just one big, mega-feed in iTunes); send us an email – take your pick!
We hope you enjoy it all. Thanks for tuning to the 15th Station!
We have Ignition
The much anticipated newest show in the Station 15 podcast stable, Ignition, has now been launched. Ignition will showcase Catholic talks and seminars that have been given in recent years and be published in easy-to-digest 15- or 20-minutes episodes.
In this first episode, we begin a talk given by Fr Dominique Faure, a priest of the Community of St John, at the 2010 Hearts Aflame Summer School. The talk is on Friendship and Ethics. The second part of the four-part talk will be published next Monday, with new episodes made available each Monday.
