Catholic Roundup

We forgot to mention it in the show we just recorded but SQPN has begun their annual giving campaign.  They are trying to raise $125,000 to support Father Roderick and the SQPN team in all the great things that SQPN does.  In mainstream media, that amount is a drop in the bucket but in new media, it goes a very long way indeed. Their giving campaign will run for the 40 days of lent.

Intro Music

Catholic Roundup Rebranding

• Why Rebrand?  A Catholic Canadian –> Catholic New Media Roundup –> Catholic Roundup

• Episode Renumbering  (About 29 podcast episodes in last year’s 40 Days of Catholic Media)+  20 original posts for Catholic New Media Roundup.    That would make this episode of Catholic Roundup Show #50.

• Why renumber– To show continuity in what we’ve been doing here for the past 18 months.  I counted all multimedia audio and video I personally produced since I started A Catholic Canadian.  I did not count guest contributions for the advent calendar. That would be ballot stuffing.  Basically show numbers don’t mean much but they do represent time, commitment, and I find them highly motivating.
