I wear a pocket protector and I attend mass at least weekly. I read philosophy, theology, and physics books for fun. I am interested in the pursuit of Truth, wherever it (or He) leads, and helping others along the way, and I enjoy sharing what I learn and find interesting. So far, my search for truth has led me to the Roman Catholic Church. After trying to disprove it, I came to a point where I could not deny it. Despite degrees in physics and philosophy from secular institutions, everything in my experience and education has led me to believe.

In a world where stadiums and sanctuaries often feel miles apart, The Catholic Sportsman Show Podcast finds the profound connection between them. Hosts Paul Michelini and Randy Laya, alongside the enduring memory of co-founder Jeff Corrigan, engage in thoughtful conversations that explore how the drama, discipline, and community found in sports intersect with a lived Catholic faith. This isn't just a post-game analysis; it's a deeper look at the stories, history, and personalities within athletics, examining them through a spiritual lens. You'll hear discussions that are as likely to delve into the theological virtues demonstrated on the field as they are to appreciate a great historical moment in sport. Recorded within The Diocese of Orange, California, the podcast brings on guests who share this unique perspective, creating dialogues that are both topical and timeless. Whether reflecting on loss, leadership, or pure athletic joy, Paul and Randy offer a space where the universal language of games meets the enduring questions of faith, culture, and society. Tune in for a series that celebrates the athlete's journey while thoughtfully considering its place within a broader spiritual life.
