This is Jonathan Peugeot. Welcome to the symbolic world. So hello everybody. I am here with Father Andrew Damick and Father Stephen the Young.

Both of them are working with ancient faith radio and started a new podcast called the Lord of Spirits and the people around me,

the people that watch my videos, everybody has been really excited about this podcast. I listened

to the first episode and it's very, very fascinating. It's a very, it's an exploration of the world

of angels, of spirits, of demons, basically trying to help people understand that as Christians,

bit about your vision for this podcast, you know, what you're trying to accomplish.

And then we'll just dive in.

I think we'll probably have to cut it short because there's so many things we could

probably talk about. And so we'll see. Well, I'll go first. I usually go first on the actual

show because I'm the one who's looking at all the blinky lights. So in the studio. But yeah,

so, you know, Father Stephen and I have come, bring very different things to the table.
