Welcome to the Council of Trend Podcast, a production of Catholic Answers.

It is free for all Friday here on the Council of Trend Podcast.

I'm your host, Catholic Answers Apologist and Speaker, Trent Horn, and today we're going

to go surfing Wikipedia surfing.

That is, if you've ever watched myself, Tim Staples, Jimmy Aiken on Catholic Answers

Live, you'll know that we grab bits of information from all kinds of random places to throw

into our responses when we share the faith with other people.

To be an Apologist, your mind just has to be wired that way.

I'm the kind of person who loves watching documentaries, reading books, and then finding

a little tidbit of information in there and following that up to learn more about what

is involved in that.

Eventually I get in a chain of learning about all kinds of random things in the evenings

or on weekends, and I have time to read and study.

One of the easiest ways to do that is what I call Wikipedia surfing.

Wikipedia, which it's funny, it gets a bad rap from some people, but I believe there

are studies that have shown that Wikipedia is as reliable as encyclopedia Britannica.

I mean, I don't take everything Wikipedia says as gospel, but it's an efficient way,

in an easy way, to learn about vast variety of things and to just go on a kind of clicking

spree.

I used to actually do a game with friends.

Oh, it's so funny.

You should try it sometime.
