Five Catholic Podcasts for the Busy Catholic Executive

As members of Legatus, you can appreciate the value in studying our Catholic faith. While Scripture, the Catechism, and other sacred readings are an essential aspect of that, listening to Catholic podcasts can be deeply edifying, especially for the busy executive. 

If you’re already thinking, “podcasts are too long!”, don’t fret. We’ve specifically curated a list of five different podcasts where episodes never surpass an hour in length.

Whether you’re hoping to sharpen your apologist skills, deepen your devotion to the Rosary, or learn more about the liturgy, there’s a podcast for that! Here are five we recommend.

The Bible in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz), Ascension

Listen if you’re looking for: a deeper understanding of Scripture, confusing passages explained, and daily accountability – delivered in short, digestible episodes!

Legatus relevance: Seeking to study the faith, there’s no better place to start than Holy Scripture!
20-25 minutes episodes

3-Minute Reset, Pat Lencioni and Chris Stefanick

Listen if you’re looking for: a snack-sized reflection that you’ll chew on for the whole day. (Though the hosts are currently taking a break from producing new episodes, there’s plenty of content here to enjoy.)
