“I recently discovered these podcasts and they were exactly what I needed. While relevant to every age, they are helping me become more grounded in the foundations of the Church. The length of each episode is perfect. With so much noise out in the world today they are a wonderful diversion. Great...”Read full review »

“This is one unique podcast. The history alone is worth to learn a lot about the Church. The Roman Catholic Mass connections to Africa was really cool to learn about.”

“First off, I’m not Catholic. I actually belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. But I love this podcast. It’s so well put together. And it’s fascinating and inspiring to learn more about the early Christians, and the sacrifices they made for the cause of Christ. We all owe them...”Read full review »

“This show is so good. Going through the councils now after going through the fathers. Beautiful blend of history and theology. Mike had me laughing out loud during the episode on Ephesus. Please keep it up Mike, et al.”

“I came here after seeing him on the Pints with Aquila's podcast and am extremely pleased with the content. I've had an interest in the Church Fathers for a while now and this is a great introduction. I would like to add that it would help to have a vague knowledge of church history before...”Read full review »

“While a joy to us lovers of religious history, this podcast series leaves out half and more of the important early voices of church history: desert mothers and early martyrs, women saints and mystics, and a whole beautiful side of Christianity. We particularly felt that lack in the recent...”Read full review »

“Overall I recommend this podcast since there is good information. The podcast seems to me a little light on doctrine and a little heavy on anecdotes. Also, it’s very hard to listen to the narrator’s “overly nice” voice inflection. It sounds very unnatural and is distracting.”

“Mike Aquilina gives excellent synopses of critical figures in church history. Despite being a history major and a Catholic I knew little about the Church Fathers so this served as a great introduction. Occasionally I disagree with his opinions but this is trivial in comparison with the knowledge...”Read full review »
