In the final episode of our first season, we decided to end with a bang! In the first half of our episode, we journey to the small borough of Roseto, PA, to uncover the secrets to a stress-free life. Using the lessons of Roseto, the second half of the episode tells the story of the Catholic subculture with the help of some friends. :) We interview six different Catholic podcasters, and ask each a single question: what should an authentic Catholic subculture look like in the modern era? Their answers are varied, creative, and beautiful. I'm so happy to collaborate with them on this!  Music for the Episode: Exceeding Words and music by Shaun Garrison.  © 2015 Shaun Garrison.

In our Part II on our series on the Catholic subculture, we dive into the world of the movies in the heart of the Golden Age of Hollywood.
