Catching Foxes

Luke and Gomer

Luke and Gomer became friends Freshman year at the Franciscan University of Steubenville and 14 years later they started a podcast. The show oscillates between a conversation between just the two of us and interviews that we do together of other, fancier people. Sometimes we get explicit either by being too honest or by being too stupid. Either way, it's fun!

    Rethinking How We Apply the Church's Teaching on Birth Control

    Luke brings up a topic he has been nervous to raise: does the way American Catholics apply the Church's teaching on birth control account for what happens to a person's freedom under real constraint? It's a good conversation, it's not heterodox (we promise).

    Requiescat in Pace, Donald Gormley

    The Do-Over Myth: What Getting Older Really Costs You

    Gomer's dad is out of the hospital and in a care home and this episode starts there, in the territory of walking a parent toward the end of his life. Luke and Gomer work through the lessons Gomer has picked up in the trenches: what hospitals won't tell you, how to have the DNR conversation, and why AI has become an unlikely companion through all of it.

    Not Dead! Family Crises, AI Converts, and Things Worth Being Angry About

    Into the Darkness has Come a Great Light

    This is a heavy one. Heavy in a good way, but heavy all the same. Lots of unpacking trauma, both from childhood and Gomer's recent bathroom renovation.

    AI Can't Help You Contemplate the Good Life

    AI has plenty of potential upsides. Helping you think more deeply about life isn't one of them. Also, there's a lengthy discussion about sex with robots towards the end. Listener discretion advised.

    Do We Live in Reality? Can We?

    Can we know what reality is? Not in some college freshman philosophy major existentialism way, but in how we see the world? Are reproductions of things real versions of the original?

    Is Using AI a Mortal Sin?

    The usage of AI has moral implications, but what are they? Can we use it without losing our souls? Should we all just be listening to Bob Dylan and avoiding AI-generated music?
