Faith Full Podcast
CATEGORY: Religion & Spirituality
The Faith Full Podcast tells true stories about the Catholic faith in today’s world through compelling, narrative audio journalism. Episodes include interviews, narrative storytelling, and a blend of high-quality production techniques.
The independent, listener-supported project is hosted and produced by Tony Ganzer. He’s a long-time public media journalist and writer by trade, and a Catholic by choice and upbringing. Ganzer has reported on many things over 15 years in the US and Europe, from Swiss Parliament to the plight of refugees. Religion and faith have always held a special place.
We were featured in Our Sunday Visitor’s article on quality Catholic podcasts. We’ve also won two Gabriel Awards from the Catholic Media Association in 2020 and 2021. (For Episode 6 and Episode 9!)
‘The best antidotes to falsehoods are not strategies, but people: people who are not greedy but ready to listen, people who make the effort to engage in sincere dialogue so that the truth can emerge; people who are attracted by goodness and take responsibility for how they use language..’
Pope Francis, 24 January 2018
