Don’t worry friends.  We haven’t forgot about the podcast. We’ve been very busy with work and family commitments this month. However, we have a bit of podcast goodness for you.  We have been experimenting with a 3 minute condensed version of the Catholic Roundup.  Last week I sent it out to a bunch of podcast producers for their feedback and Jim O’Meira picked it up as a weekly feature on The Catholic Music Express Podcast.  We are hoping that it helps fulfil our newly minted mission statement, “To support and encourage Catholics who are endeavoring to use new media tools to spread the Good News.”  Other podcasters are very welcome to include the Catholic Roundup Digest in their own podcasts.  And don’t forget about our Catholic Media Promo bank, a repository of promos for Catholic bloggers, podcasts, and musicians.  We hope to make it easier for podcasters to find and play promos for other Catholic podcasts.

Catholic Roundup Digest:  October 16, 2009

Congratulations to Inge Loots for producing an audio version of the liturgy of the hours in dutch for over one year.  You can find her English Podcast, a A journey into the Land of the Spirit at taquoriaan.com

Last month I came upon the Why I am Catholic blog.  I’ve quickly become a fan of Webster Bull’s masterful imagery and warm persona.  He’s a great writer.

Last week on Tweetcatholic.com I found out about a new Catholic podcast with the best name:What would Jesus Podcast? Three young adults from Texas, Abbey, Brian and Kelly talk about our Catholic faith from a young adult’s perspective.

Matthew Warner  is still looking for a few more bloggers to writer about their favorite Catholic Speaker for Support a Catholic Speaker Month.  He is hoping to find 101 bloggers to each write about one of  101 Catholic speakers before October 20.  Head on over to Fallibleblogma.com for more details and to see the list as it takes shape.

Last week we were inspired by Susan Bailey and the mission statement on the Grapevine Website to draft a mission statement for the Catholic Roundup.The process of praying about and writing a mission statement helped us greatly to define the focus of our online ministry.  Now I have a bit of a challenge for other  Catholic bloggers, podcasters and musicians:  “What is your mission statement?”

Background music for this week’s Catholic Roundup Digest is an instrumental track of T-Fig and the party from Popple’s new album, Hip Hip Hooray, due to be released on October 20.  You can find them at popple.us.
