I would like to declare November as:  Support a Catholic Podcaster month.   For most Catholic podcasters and bloggers, creating new media is a labour of love. We gain much satifaction from the comments and feedback of our listeners, and by the support of our listeners in helping grow our audience by recommending it to others.  Voting for a podcast on podcastalley.com has proven to be a very effective means for helping a podcast reach a larger audience.  Beginning November 1, I would like to encourage as many people as possible to vote for Catholic podcasts over at podcastalley.com.  The way it works is that you can vote for as many podcasts as you would like, but you can only vote once monthly for each podcast.   It is my hope that we can have all Catholic Podcasts in the top 20 in the religion and spirituality category and maybe can get a few in the overall top 10 on podcastalley.com.   This simple effort has the potential to increase the profile of Catholic podcasts and expose them to a much larger audience.  And if you are feeling generous, you can vote for the Catholic Roundup as well.
To vote for a podcast on Podcast Alley, you need to give them an email address.  They will email you a confirmation link, which you have to click on to confirm your vote.  If you don’t get the confirmation email, check your spam folder.

To make it easier to vote for podcasts on podcast alley, you can register for a free account on podcast alley.  Once you are logged into podcast alley, you do not have to go through the email confirmation step when you vote.

For your voting convenience, here is a list of Podcast Alley Voting links for a number of Catholic Podcasts.  Clicking on these links will take you directly to the Podcast alley voting page.  If you know of a Catholic Podcast which is not on this list, send me a link to its podcast alley profile page or its podcast alley id# and I will add it to the list.
Happy voting.

Greg and Jennifer Willits

Matthew Warner of Tweetcatholic and Flocknote has declared October as  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, or to sign up to write your own article about a Catholic Speaker.  I quickly jumped into the fray and signed up to do a profile on Greg and Jennifer Willits. 

In the summer of 2005, I bought an Mp3 player and started looking for music and podcasts to fill it. At that time I discovered Father Roderick and The Catholic Insider then the Rosary Army Podcast .  My first reaction to discovering Catholic podcasts online was that it was a source for catholic culture online.  I beganlistening to the weekly (then biweekly) episodes of the Rosary Army Podcast as Greg and Jennifer shared bits about their life raising a family, their day to day challenges with work, their apostolate to give away all twine knotted rosaries, and their Catholic faith.  Their banter and stories were often hilarious, and their shows often contained funny little song parodies and sketches, including the now infamous, ‘Captain Catechism’.

After a while I introduced my wife and daughter to the Rosary Army Podcast, and we would listen to Greg and Jennifer’s newest podcasts together as soon as they became available.  I began to get involved on the Rosary Army forums and learned to make and pray all twine knotted rosaries.  Then I realized that podcasting is a 2-way conversation and started to send feedback first to the Rosary Army and then to my other favorite podcasts.

Over the course of the Rosary Army podcast, Greg and Jennifer have shared the good times and bad times of their life.  They have shared their joys and sorrows: miscarriages,  their frustrations at getting educational support for their children, unsuccessfully trying to sell their home to several episodes dedicated to Greg’s parent’s 50th anniversary.  In an early Rosary Army podcast, Greg also told a hilarious story about getting lost in the Georgia backwoods on his way to a youth retreat to teach teens how to make all twine rosaries.  The Rosary Army Podcast was ultimately about a couple deeply in love with each other, deeply committed to their family and uncompromising about their faith.

Through their example, Greg and Jennifer inspired a community of online Catholics.  Several years ago Father Roderick Vonhogen invited them to join his SQPN podcast network.  After about a year with SQPN , Greg and Jennifer went full time with their ministries at SQPN and the Rosary Army.   They spent 2 years working full time with SQPN, managing the day to day affairs of both apostolates, producing That Catholic Show, and organizing the first Catholic New Media Celebration.

Last year, Greg and Jennifer were offered the opportunity to host a daily 3 hour show, The Catholics Next Door,  on The Catholic Channel on Sirus XM radio.  This offered them an incredible opportunity to reach a much larger audience as well as having more security to provide for their family.  We were greatly saddened when they discontinued the Rosary Army podcast but about 6 months into their new show, they started releasing a weekly 30 minute podcast of highlights from their radio show, so you can still find them on the internet.

Back to Greg and Jennifer’s impact on me and my family. They showed Catholics that we can reach out and find community across great distances using the new media.  They let us glimpse into their lives, into the challenges of having a family and running a world wide ministry from a small closet/office (dubbed the Cloffice) in their home.  Most of all they challenged their listeners to deepen their own faith, to grow in holiness.  I started listening to their podcast as a Catholic who was thirsting for more.  Gradually I began contributing to their community with silly voice feedbacks, song parodies, and tying and giving away rosaries. I now find myself in my own spare room, producing a website and podcast and reaching out to others who are trying to answer Pope John Paul II’s call to a New Evangelization using the tools of new media.

I think that Greg and Jennifer’s special gift, which they express both on the radio and in person, is that they present themselves as an ordinary married couple with an ordinary family and ordinary struggles of their daily lives.  They truly are The Catholics Next Door.   However, by making themselves open to the call of the Holy Spirit and by diving deep into their faith, they are showing all of us that ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things for God.   By virtue of our baptism, that is a call that we all share.

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.

Our goal at the Catholic Roundup has always been to help Catholics using new media to spread the Good News and to help other Catholics to find great Catholic resources online. If you have questions about setting up your Catholic blog or podcast, we are happy to help out.

A 1-3 minute audio promo is a great way to spread word about your podcast, blog or web resource. Podcasters are a sociable bunch and they are usually quite happy to play promos for other podcasts. A bit of your show music with some clips or a description of your show along with the website address are a good start. You can hear a promo for our show at http://www.cc.ductapeguy.net/40days/CNMRPromo.mp3 .

I got many ideas for the focus of The Catholic Roundup from The Canadian Podcast Buffet, a podcast which serves as a community hub for the Canadian podcasting community. They have some solid promo guidelines at http://www.canadianpodcastbuffet.ca/?page_id=8

Here are their guidelines adapted for my purposes.

The Canadian Podcast Buffet also does something called an Audio Profile which I have adapted here.

Please attach an audio profile of no more than 120 seconds in the following format: MP3, 44.1KHz, 128-bit (stereo or mono)

If you are a Catholic podcaster who has produced 100 shows, feel free to go over to  cc dot ductapeguy dot net slash 100club where you will find a lovely Catholic 100 club badge to display on your website.  I know, I know- you’re probably thinking, I produced 100 podcasts and all I got was this lousy web graphic.  That’s about the size of it.
Congratulations to all the great people who have produced so many wonderful Catholic podcasts.  And as always, If you are a Catholic blogger, or podcaster, send us a promo to play on the Catholic Roundup to catholicroundup (at) gmail (dot) com because we would like to help you to spread the Good News.

I am trying an experiment this month with Podcast Alley. Every month, they have a top 10 podcasts list on their frontpage, and the list is determined by votes. Right now, we can get onto that list with just 37 more votes. I thought it would be worth trying to get on the list for a day or two to see what happens. There are just over 125 of you on this list, so if everyone just goes and votes, we could make it into the top podcasts for a few days. Here is the link, and I will email in a few days to let you know the results of this experiment.
Vote for Catholic Spotlight on Podcast Alley

Also, I am going to have Dr. Hahn on the show in a couple weeks, so I need some questions from you guys. They can be about his new book, Spirit and Life, or just about anything on your mind.

You can call in questions to 206-426-1207.

While I was at  Podcast Alley voting for the Catholic Spotlight podcast, and other great Catholic Podcasts, I noticed that this month, the highest ranked Catholic Podcast in the Religion and Sprituality category is The Our Catholic Life podcast at #19. Take some time to vote for your favorite Catholic podcasts on Podcast Alley and let’s see if we can get them in the top ranks of the religion and Spirituality Category, and maybe even high ranking among all podcasts on the site.
If you have a Catholic Podcast Listed on Podcast Alley, please add a link to your Podcast Alley page in the  comments of this post and we’ll  help you and other Catholic podcasters get the word out.

P.S. I finally got around to adding Catholic Roundup to Podcast Alley.  Please vote for the Catholic Roundup on Podcast Alley.
