Gentle TV viewer land, we have a special podcast.

This is a guest spleenant episodes of Father Patrick and I are joined by Katie Carl.

Katie, thanks so much for coming on.

Thank you guys for having me. It's really a delight.

All right, Katie Carl is a author.

We don't generally have like fiction authors on here,

but you had a debut novel in 2021 as Earth Without Water, and then a collection of short stories,

fragile objects in 2023. And you are now, you're involved in dappled things as an editor in chief,

but now you are starting a new program

at Word on Fire, a new imprint, which we're delighted to hear about. So tell us a little about

this new program. Yeah, so thank you so much, first of all, for having me on and for giving me

the opportunity to talk about this. Word on Fire, Lumnor is a literary imprint

of Word on Fire publishing, whose goal is to spread seeds of the word in the culture and in the church.

So I think oftentimes when we think about reading as Catholics, right, we have a sense that this means maybe reading theology, reading a lot of philosophy, like forming ourselves intellectually, and all of this is fantastic.

As you guys know very well.

My own husband is a philosophy professor.

I find this a very important thing for Catholics to do.
