CatholiCon 2008

We’ve received lots of excellent feedback from many of our listeners.  We’re currently collaborating with other podcasters such as Greg and Jennifer Willits of Rosary Army and Fr. Roderick Vonhogen of the Catholic Insider.

If you’d like to provide us with your ideas and suggestions for CatholicCon, check out Sean McGaughey’s Facebook group Catholic New Media Conference.

Elizabeth Lev (via Zenit) tell us the Five Worst Looks for Christians:

Cardinal Socks
Virgin Mary Belt Buckles
The Rosary Necklace
Crucifixes (or should that be Crucifixi), chaplets, and scapulars as accessories.
Satanic Imagery

Much ado about Skype — Skype was down for 36 hours.   What happens if we can’t use Skype?  Here are the alternatives:

the gizmo project
GoogleTalk
ISDN
Plain Old Telephone Service - it’s what us geeks call POTS lines.

It was our one year anniversary on the 20th of August and besides still being friends, we actually have more listeners than we started.  We’re thanking all of you for your support by giving one lucky listener a $15 iTunes gift card.  Send in your backchat to backchat@catholicunderground.com (only once please) and you’ll be entered to win.  We’ll draw the lucky winner from Fr. Chris biretta (again not the TV show, the car, or the firearm.)  The Winner will be announced on September 3.
