So first, yes, John's vocal mannerisms are tough to fight through. He obviously is speaking off the cuff or just from some notes and the vast number of erm's, uhh's, annd other vocal skips are hard to ignore. And the background noise to be all to prominent at times. But the man speaks...Read full review »

Mr. Allen gives great insights into the religious and secular world of Italy. Despite the complaints of people for saying “um” (I mean he is knew to it and its hard), its usually almost perfect. My only complaint is that it is bi-weekly (Sorry John).

Mr. Allen’s umms are okay by me! Name a better podcast on the Vatican. Keep up the great work; I look forward to each episode.

Just listen to yourself Mr. Allen. The uhhmmms and ahhhhhs are annoying. The information is good but could be reduced to a 5 minute article.

John L. Allen Jr. consistently offers the most careful and precise analyses of Catholic news and issues. Highly recommended.

If you want insight on Church organization and the inner workings of the Holy See, you aren’t going to find a better source than John Allen. These are every bit as enjoyable as the presentations John does at the LA Religious Education Congress, but you don’t have to wait a year to hear from him...Read full review »

The best source for why any particular happening in the Vatican is or is not a big deal, a necessary antidote for our hyperbolic culture of sensationalism, which infects even other Catholic news organizations. An invaluable resource.

I enjoy Mr Allen’s contribution to the work of the Church. This podcast is not one of them. The quality of the recording is poor. He sounds like he is in a cave. His presentation is mediocre: frequent clearing of voice, many “ahems” comments and it strikes the listener like he is shooting from...Read full review »

Mr. Allen is clearly well qualified to host a news show reporting on the Catholic Church in the world. His insight is welcome. As an audio product, however, I have three knocks: 1) Mr. Allen sounds as though he's recording in his basement. Not the kind of production excellence I have come...Read full review »

This podcast is incredibly insightful with all the information I want and need about the inner going’s of the Church, and it give us the facts and let’s us develop opinions. This is News Media as it should be! Well done!

I was enchanted by the approah, the seriousness and depth of John Allen’s analysis.

I am a seasoned Catholic-content podcast listener, and I have just finished listening to the inaugural podcast by John Allen. This is organized, thorough, thoughtful, fair, and well-delivered. I was nodding my way through it, especially when Mr. Allen said that on the issue of evangelization in...Read full review »
