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

Hey everybody, I just wanted to give a quick December update because we haven't had episodes

this week.

Been very busy down here at the podcast.

One thing is, we got the new studio up.

So if you're watching this on YouTube, you can see behind me, I really like it.

We've got the nice darker tones feel.

The very least I've escaped the standard backdrop of having the bookshelves behind me.

I still have the bookshelves in my office.

They're just in front of me now.

But Zach from the Catholic Answers office came in.

He did a really great job.

We got new lights.

I'm going to probably swap out this microphone for kind of a sleeker black one with an arm.

So that's on the way here.

But I love the background.

We got our Lord up here appropriately enough.

And I'll put some little memorabilia back here on the shelves.

This silver cup here is my mote cup.

Actually, when I went to Argentina many years ago, people drink their mote tea.

If you are from Argentina and you enjoy mote, definitely leave a comment below.

We'd love to hear from you.
