Summary

Some of my favorite conversations on or off the air are with Catholic publisher Roger McCaffrey (who's the godfather to two of our daughters, incidentally). In addition to being very knowledgeable about a great many things, he is a man of impeccable judgment, such that whenever I need advice I nearly always contact Roger first. In this bonus episode he and I discuss the Francis papacy, the next conclave, the five living people who have most influenced me, and plenty more. It's such a fun discussion.

Hey everybody, Tom Woods here with a bonus episode for you.

0:18.8

I do topics that are a little bit off the libertarian

0:22.0

beaten path for these bonus episodes. This one is actually two episodes of Catholic Book Radio,

0:28.7

the podcast Roger McCaffrey hosts. The first one of the two is us talking Catholic church

0:35.2

politics, and I always find that fun and interesting. And people who've

said they're not necessarily interested in the topic, they love hearing the banter between Roger

0:42.6

and me. And it's totally different from my banter with anybody else. We recorded these episodes

0:47.2

sitting in the back of my house, and it was just fun. But it's two episodes, though. So the second episode is not

0:56.3

expressly a Catholic episode. Roger was asking me, it was like a top five list, and I won't

1:02.1

tell you top five what, because he didn't give me any notice either, and that made it really

1:06.2

difficult to do. But they're fun conversations, and I thought you might enjoy listening to

1:10.8

them.

I will link at tomwoods.com to where you can find Rogers' podcast on SoundCloud.

And just so you know, Roger McCaffrey is the publisher of Roman Catholic books. He was also the founding

1:28.9

publisher of the Latin Mass Magazine. He is a direct male genius. I mean, he writes letters,

1:36.2

the sort of letters that in the old days when you would get mail, physical mail, and physical

1:41.8

mailings, by the way, still work. People are overlooking them at their own

peril. They really work. He would get you to open that envelope. There'd be something on that
