This week on the big show, Katies Martin and Fujarski laugh it up with Joe and his co-host, Joe!  It’s Joe squared plus Katie Squared (strictly speaking, not entirely algegraic).  Katie opens up about her life and faith, including her devotion to Jesus and Mary.  So does Katie!  Also, Regis Martin reads a poem by Joyce Kilmer, “The Robe of Christ”, with Eric Genuis providing background music.  It’s another installment of in-your-face Catholicism

This week, I interview my talented, witty, and beautiful Catholic friend, Dolores Diaz.  Dolores is a freelance editor, writer, and avid reader. She holds a bachelor’s degree in English Literature with minors in Theology and Journalism from the University of Notre Dame. She loves riding her Harley around the city, and on any given weekend you can catch up with her playing drums in the coolest bars on the east side or downtown Austin.

Then Sam, Dolores, and I get into a discussion of Humility, drawing on thoughts from CS Lewis and St. Francis de Sales.  Please join us!
