So have we! Jeff Young is our featured guest on the show and he’s here to talk about spiritual hunger. Have you ever felt that tug that there’s more to life than just getting up every morning, going to work and coming home? We feel like there is. Take a listen to our interview with Jeff to find out more.To begin the show, we catch up on some of the latest news going on in our lives. The National Catholic Youth Conference is coming up in two weeks! Additionally, there have been some interesting things that the US Conference of Bishops have written about healthcare reform lately and Pat found a basketball game where a player whacks a bat with his bare hand.

Finally, we finish out the show with a great book review from our friend, Barb in Nebraska, who reviews a book called “An Altar in the World.”

Before ending the show, we quiz Jeff to see if he’s up to taking our chick flick or horror film challenge. Think you can get them all correct? Stay tuned to see if you’re right!

Looking ahead, next week is our 25th show and we would like you to celebrate with us. Got a favorite show or a great comment to share? What are you waiting for? Give us a call at 206-337-7945.

What has been the holiest meal you have ever shared? Outside the Mass, that is.

I asked this question the other day on Plurk & Twitter & Facebook, and I received a number of replies. I share some of those with you on episode 42 of the Catholic Foodie.

I also share an amazing story about a dinner party that an old friend of mine hosted. And, somehow, I end up talking about how Char and I met and how - a number of years later - we become united in the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony. Now, how did I get on to those topics?

Here are some of the links I refer to on the show:
 


As I mentioned on the show, here are a couple of pics of a couple of meals that Char and I shared on our honeymoon on Margarita Island, Venezuela. Boy, these pics bring back some memories!

Roderick http://sqpn.com/?p=7923 ROSWELL, GA – To wrap up a summer of fun and gear up for the fall season of new activities, the Star Quest Production Network proudly announces the addition of three new podcasts to the SQPN family. Each show casts a unique spin on how Catholics live their lives. They serve the growing interest, not only in Catholic living, but in living well.

“In answer to the Church’s call for evangelization via the new media, SQPN is constantly searching for ways to reach out to new audiences,” says Fr. Roderick Vonhogen, founder and CEO of the Star Quest Production Network.

“The three new shows in our line-up do exactly that: Pat Gohn’s ‘Among Women’ reaches out to women, while Nick and Pat Padley cater to young adults with ‘In Between Sundays’, and Jeff Young, ‘the Catholic Foodie’ targets people that love to share faith and good food with friends and family.”

Something for Everyone

These new shows add exciting dimensions to the current line-up. Meet our new producers:

amongwomen

Pat Gohn, host of Among Women, delivers a podcast on women’s spirituality. Pat shares,  “Last year’s CNMC inspired me, and after prayerful consideration, AMONG WOMEN was launched last March!”

She explores Catholic teaching and its application to daily life, celebrating the beauty and grace of Catholic faith and life among women.

inbetweensundaysBrothers Nick and Pat Padley talk about life as young Catholic adults on their show, In Between Sundays. Their easy banter and silly antics serve as a backdrop to the serious topics of developing the mind, body and soul.

Nick indicates “we look forward to expanding our ministry to young adults across the globe.”

catholicfoodieThe Catholic Foodie, Jeff Young, brings much more to the table than merely recipes and reviews. He explains that the show “highlights how food – good food – can be a sign to us of God’s love and care for each of us and our families.”

His tagline, “where food meets faith,” speaks volumes about the importance of community, which is so often developed at meals.

Roderick http://sqpn.com/?p=7233 After 12 hours of continuous podcasting, Catholic podcasters from all over the world raised the final $10,000 needed to fund the new media evangelization efforts of the Star Quest Production Network.

    During the 2009 Giving Campaign, listeners and viewers brought together $125,000, enabling the network to continue to produce audio and video programs that reach and touch tens of thousands of people on a daily basis.

    Fr. Roderick, Inge and Mark
    The 2009 Podcast Marathon started in Amersfoort, the Netherlands. Fr. Roderick Vonhogen and Dutch listeners Inge and Mark presented a number of activities that ranged from singing karaoke favorites to a special high intensity workout lead by Fr. Roderick. During the ‘Horror Smoothie Challenge’, viewers could sponsor ingredients for two special smoothies. This resulted in a Yoghurt/banana/Cheese/Olive/Garlic smoothie and a Milk/Oreo/Kiwi/Tuna/chili pepper/Tabasco smoothie. Both were consumed live during the marathon.

    Mac and Katherine
    Mac and Katherine Barron in Georgia took over with a live episode of their popular podcast ‘Catholic in a Small Town’.

    The Sweeney Family
    From Georgia, the marathon moved to Texas, where the Sweeney family entertained the audience by dancing in Lederhosen and juggling kittens.

    Paul Camarata
    Dr. Paul Camarata followed after that with a special two-hour SaintCast session. Dr. Paul dressed up as some of the favorite saints of members of the audience.

    Greg and Jennifer
    Greg and Jennifer, hosts of ‘The Catholics Next Door’ on the Catholic Channel (Sirius/XM) appeared next, singing songs on request and sharing stories about their Catholic media work.

    Fr. Jay Finelli and Lisa Hendey
    Fr. Jay Finelli, the iPadre, and Lisa Hendey joined forces for the next hour of the Catholic Podcast Marathon.

    Louisa Pittman
    From California, the Marathon switched over to the United Kingdom. SQPN community member Louisa Pittman from the Accidental Archeologist podcast was up early in the morning to tell stories about her many adventures and sing sailor songs.

    The Finish Line
    Fr. Roderick was up early as well for the last hour of the Podcast Marathon, singing songs from the Sound of Music, the Beatles and Frank Sinatra. During that last hour, the tally reached the $10,000 goal. Fr. Roderick wrapped up the campaign and the marathon with a prayer of thanksgiving and blessing for the entire SQPN community.

Roderick http://sqpn.com/?p=6491 Are you a fan of one or more of the SQPN shows?  Do you often talk about your favorite shows with family or friends?  Are you looking for a way to become more involved in the SQPN online community?

    We invite you to become a volunteer member of the SQPN Star Teams and help spread the work about online Catholic media and SQPN to even wider audiences.

    SQPN Star Teams
    The SQPN Star Teams are open to anyone enthusiastic about informing people about SQPN, helping people find the shows that interest them, and sharing the ways that Catholic new media can help people on their individual spiritual journeys.  As a member of the SQPN Star Teams, you will join an important part of the SQPN community, working at the local  level to share what SQPN has to offer.

    How does this work? Click here to discover!

Roderick http://sqpn.com/?p=6495 palmThe Star Quest Production Network needs your help to continue its mission to bring the message of the Catholic faith to the ends of the world! The Catholic Church is going through some difficult moments. Catholics are criticized, ridiculed and sometimes even outright attacked all over the world.

    SQPN is more necessary than ever. Over the last four years, SQPN has been very succesful in reaching hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world with a positive, creative and enthusiastic Catholic message.

    Many listeners and viewers of our programs have grown closer to the Catholic Church, and we have received many stories of personal conversion. SQPN has motivated people to deepen their faith, and thanks to the worldwide SQPN community, they find daily support for their journey in life.

    SQPN completely depends on your gifts to be able to continue this work.

    For this year, we need $125,000, and we have only 40 days to reach that goal!

    A shoe-string budget compared to other Catholic organizations, but a huge challenge for us, because we have no access to big sponsors, and we know that we all live in difficult economic times.

    But we trust in Gods providence and in your generosity to help us get there. During the campaign, we will show you why your donations are necessary, and what we will do with your gifts.

    And don’t forget to pray for SQPN as well. We pray every day that this work is and always will be Gods initiative, and that we will always follow where He will lead us on this amazing journey of discovery in the world of new media evangelization.

    Click here for an overview of the ways in which you can donate to SQPN

    Please send an email to donate@sqpn.com to let us know the amount of your pledge, and also let us know if you will renew your monthly donation for another year (let us know the amount for that as well).

    Thank you for your gift!

    Fr. Roderick
