With 3 small children in my house, I have limited time to read, much to my dismay. I figured out a way to keep up to date on current events in the Catholic Church, bond with other Catholic women, and learn more about my faith by using my computer, iTunes and my iPod touch.

Over the past few years, I’ve become a podcast junkie. Instead of plopping down in front of the television, you’re more likely to find me with headphones on, pushing the vacuum around the house. Listening is one of my favorite ways to learn, and it’s easy to push the rewind button if I’m interrupted.

Ready for some recommendations? There’s sure to be a selection on this list you would enjoy.

1. Healthy Catholic

Ready to become healthier and holier? Join in with Father Roderick Vonhogen, director of the SQPN Catholic network. He’s a couch potato turned marathon runner — sure to inspire even the least motivated. This podcast series contains a forty day boot camp – perfect for Lent.

2. EWTN’s The World Over Live

Hosted by Raymond Arroyo, this fast paced podcast will keep you up to date with the latest in Catholic news and current events. You can also check EWTN for older episodes.

3. Among Women

Pat Gohn hosts this podcast for Catholic women, with a two-pronged approach. She highlights a saint in the “Blessed are They” portion, while the “Among Women” segment interviews women from all walks of Catholic life.

4. Catholic Moments

Join with Lisa Hendey as she discusses all things faith, family and fun from a Catholic perspective. She also has regular contributors such as Deacon Tom Fox, and Sarah Reinhard.

5. Faith and Family Live

Hosted by the mom bloggers at Faith and Family Live, this podcast strives to support and lift up all Catholic mothers.

6. Catholic Vitamins

I first heard Deacon Tom Fox on Catholic Moments, where he has a regular guest appearance. Deacon Tom hosts this podcast with his wife, Dee, to give us all a dose of our daily spirituality.


7. Father John Riccardo

Ready to learn? Fill your iTunes with Father Riccardo, and you’ll be well on your way. This series of podcasts include his homilies, but be sure and scroll down to hear his talks for RCIA, Tapping on Theology, and more. Don’t miss “Common Ground”, an interview that Father John did with a evangelical pastor to explain and dispel some of the common myths about Catholicism.


8.The Catholic Foodie

Want to connect your family? Jeff Young hosts this wonderful podcast, “where food meets faith”. More than recipes, Jeff stresses the importance of building our families around the kitchen table.

9.Grace Before Meals

Fire up your grill, and get ready to bless your family with delicious food. Father Leo Patalinghug encourages us to draw our families into the kitchen, where he shows us how to make healthy and delicious meals. He’s also the only priest with the distinction of beating Bobby Flay in a fajita throwdown!


10.Father John Corapi

Not for the faint of heart, Father Corapi, former Army veteran, has an amazing gift for evangelization. Start with his conversion story, and move on from there.

Be sure and leave a comment, and let me know what your favorite podcasts are!

When she’s not plugged into her iPod while training for a half marathon, you can find Dianna writing over at The Kennedy Adventures. There, she discusses all things faith, family and fitness. Don’t miss her weekly link up, Saints and Scripture Sundays. You’ll also see her on Twitter.

    I’d like to recommend Fr. Larry Richards…you can subscribe to his homilies through this site or through itunes:
    http://www.thereasonforourhope.org/
    His homilies are usually around 10 minutes…but they stick with you!
    Thanks for posting your favorites! I’d like to check them out (although I already subscribe to Catholic Moments..yay, Lisa!)

    Your link for Fr. Corapi isn’t working.

    I saw Fr. Leo on that Throwdown, I enjoyed that episode.

    Thanks for the podcasts!

    I really enjoy the Catholic Answers podcast (free via iTunes or the Catholic Answers website). It offers a good variety of topics. I have been Catholic almost 20 years but feel so much better informed about our Faith after listening to the CA podcasts.
