Here is a brief interview I did with Father Roderick when he came to Toronto last month.

In August of 2005 I got my first mp3 player and started scouring the Internet for mp3s to put on it. I discovered the early This week in Tech programs, and found 2 neat Catholic podcasts, The Catholic Insider, and The Rosary Army Podcast. It was an AHA moment for me. Up until then I was largely unaware of the nascent Catholic culture and community on the internet. I quickly became a regular listener of Father Roderick, and I can remember I was walking to work through a park when I heard Father Roderick announce that he was going to do his first Daily Breakfast Podcast. Two and a half years later, Father Roderick and Greg and Jennifer Willits head the Star Quest Production Network, SQPN.com which currently hosts over 30 Catholic podcasts and is the epicenter for a blossoming Catholic community on the internet.

My family was delighted when we heard that Father Roderick was coming to Canada on a whirlwind tour in late January. After school on January 26, we piled into the van and drove 2+ hours to Toronto to meet up with Father Roderick and about 20 other SQPN listeners.
