Hello and welcome to Jesuitical a new podcast from the curiously young sometimes hip and always lay editors of American media

That lay part means we aren't Jesuits, but we work with them

Join us each week for a smart Catholic take on faith, culture, in the news, often over drinks.

For the next few weeks, we'll be sharing some interviews with you, as we're winding down for Christmas

and that means we won't be bringing you SOT's or Constellations and Desalations.

But we didn't want to leave you without any fresh new content in your podcast feed,

so we've got some really great interviews coming your way the next couple of weeks.

Next thing, thanks for your iTunes reviews.

Last week we gave away copies of the Jesuit post book to some reviewers,

and this week we're giving away copies of Father James Martins, Building a Bridge, how the Catholic Church and the LGBT community can enter into a relationship of respect, compassion, and sensitivity.

It's the book that everyone has an opinion on, but I don't think everyone is read. This book

will be up for grabs for a few lucky listeners who leave us a review and email us

with their iTunes name in the subject line. These reviews mean so much to us. We

just cracked 200 which which is awesome,

but it really helps other people find the podcast

and make this community a little bit bigger.

If you do that and then email Jesuitical

at AmericaMedia.org with your iTunes review name in the subject

line, you might win Father James Martin's new book.

All right, now on to the interview.

This week we're talking to Chris Yates, is a young graduate from Loyle Marymount

University and he's talking to us about his new coffee table book, Amaeus, the nature of the way.
