Pints with Aquinas
by Matt Fradd
Picture pulling up a bar stool next to St. Thomas Aquinas and asking him anything. That's the idea behind the name. Host Matt Fradd, an Australian-born Catholic speaker and author, built the show around that kind of conversation, and it runs as both a podcast and a YouTube channel.
The format is mostly long-form talk. Fradd interviews philosophers, theologians, priests, apologists and authors. He also hosts debates with atheists, Protestants and others who disagree with the Church. Topics range widely: arguments for God, the problem of evil, Thomism, moral questions, prayer, current debates in the Church and the spiritual life. Episodes often run long, which is a feature for listeners who like to follow an argument all the way down.
It suits inquirers who enjoy philosophy and debate, people who process ideas by listening, and those who want to watch Catholics engage opponents. Pick episodes by title, and remember that guests speak for themselves, not for the Church.
