(http://www.cc.ductapeguy.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/AJ_priest.png)Shownotes for CatholicRoundup 84: 1)  Deacon Tom from Catholic Vitamins (http://catholicvitamins.com), Bob D'Aurellio from the Paulsmen Podcast (paulsmen.blogspot.com) and I have been exploring the idea of forming some kind of  association or network of Catholic podcasters for mutual support and promotion.  We are looking for interested Catholic podcasters who are willing to assist in developing this idea. 2)  I'm experimenting with the format of having longer samples from other podcasts the Catholic Roundup podcast. The idea is to get 10 minute representative samples to feature the best from other Catholic Podcasts.  I feel that this could allow people to really get a sense of the 'flavour' of a particular podcast.  If you would like to me a featured podcast on the Catholic Roundup, you can a 10 minute 'distilled version' of your podcast to catholicroundup@gmail.com .  I may also feature clips that I get myself from other Catholic podcasts.    The first 10 minute feature podcast is from the Paulsmen Podcast (paulsmen.blogspot.com) Episode 118 featuring Bob D'Aurellio. 3)  Flowing from this featured podcast idea, I'm monkeying with the idea of "sampler CDs" of Catholic podcasts where I would ask 4 or 5 podcasters for 10 minute 'sample podcasts' of their shows and put them together interspersed with contemporary Catholic music etc...   How we would use these samplers, get them produced, and distribute them is completely up in the air.  It could be as simple as posting the mp3 online together with the cover art and asking people to download them and burn CDs for their friends and family.  Or we could investigate other ways of distributing them.  I am open to discussion on whether this is a good idea. 4)  With the New English Translation of the mass coming this year I am going to start producing short 2 to 4 minute Audio Reflections including links and resources to help people educate themselves for the new translation.  If you would like to feature these reflections on your own podcast, email me at catholicroundup@gmail.com and I will send you them as I produce them.  I plan to start producing these 3 minute features in July. Here is the text of my first feature on the new mass: Hello I’m Sean McGaughey from the Catholic Roundup Podcast at CatholicRoundup.com. This weekend, my family experienced a profound supernatural event that transformed the entire world.  No-- it wasn’t the rapture.  On Sunday morning, after a nice breakfast and walk along the waterfront in our hometown, we went to our parish church for the Sunday 11am mass.  I know what you are thinking.  “So what?  How is going to mass a supernatural event?  There are masses every day in every parish around the world.”   We have become so accustomed to having Sunday mass as part of our weekly routines, that we forget that at each mass we experience the suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ to redeem the world.  Celebration of the mass is a central element of our Catholic faith.  Yet we too often take it for granted. This Sunday, the mass held a special significance for our parish.  About four years ago, a seminarian named Russell spent a pastoral year in our parish, working with our youth, and ministering to the sick in hospital and in nursing homes, while he was discerning his call to the priesthood.  Last weekend, Father Russell was ordained to the priesthood.  This Sunday, he chose to celebrate his first Sunday mass at our church with our parish community.  As this was his first mass, every word, every element of the mass seemed drenched with import and symbolism.  There was a giddy feeling of joy in the congregation throughout the celebration of the mass. This joy continued afterwards in the church basement where we had a very successful reception and luncheon.  For about 90 minutes, Sean McGaughey no 36:43 http://www.cc.ductapeguy.net/2011/04/06/ive-been-tagged/ http://www.cc.ductapeguy.net/2011/04/06/ive-been-tagged/#comments Thu, 07 Apr 2011 00:59:07 +0000 Sean http://www.cc.ductapeguy.net/?p=1658 Read the Rest...

(http://www.cc.ductapeguy.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/cmpd-150x300.jpg)On Thursday, I wrote about Catholic Media Promotion Day (http://sqpn.com/2011/03/10/500-likes-in-48-hours-for-catholic-media-day/) on SQPN.com.  Last night and this morning, I asked people to send me voicemails about their favorite Catholic blogs and podcasts.  I spliced these together into a promo for the March 15 Catholic Media Promotion Day.  Enjoy.   Here are the details of Catholic Media Promotion Day from my SQPN article. I have never actually been inside Greg Willit’s head, a fact of which both of us are extremely grateful.  However, over the past years I think I have discerned a pattern to what happens when Greg gets a GOOD IDEA ™  about sharing his faith or about Catholic Media. They seem to come to him in the night or in the early morning and he lets them rattle around a bit.  Then he gets on his Sirius XM radio show, The Catholics Next Door (http://gregandjennifer.com/) and starts discussing it with Jennifer and his audience.  If it is a REALLY GOOD IDEA ™ , then after the show he may immediately set up an event or webpage for that idea. Thus were born the Atlanta Catholic Media Users Group and the #cathmedia twitter hashtag. On Tuesday March 8, Greg had another REALLY GOOD IDEA ™: * It started with a tweet at 9:15am :  “Sad. Not one Catholic podcast is currently listed in the top religious podcasts on iTunes. Could easily be fixed with + comments.” * He followed this up a few minutes later with “May I suggest a Catholic New Media promotion Day? Let’s plan a day where we all focus on promoting your favorite Catholic blogs, podcasts, new media, and each other’s projects to the world.” * Then of course, he discussed it on his show yesterday, settled on March 15 as the Day and immediately set up a Facebook Page for Catholic Media Promotion Day (http://www.facebook.com/promotecatholicism) athttp://www.facebook.com/promotecatholicism (http://www.facebook.com/promotecatholicism). So here’s the concept from the facebook page: There’s Strength in Numbers. Let’s Get the Word Out On One Day About Catholic New Media. On March 15, 2011, everyone with a blog, podcast, or Facebook page should list their favorite 3 blogs, 3 podcasts, 3 other media, 3 random Catholic things online, and their own projects. Then, post the link to your list here on March 15th. Additionally, to help get the word out, press are asked to write articles and press releases for this day. Lastly, on March 15th, go to iTunes and leave at least 3 positive written reviews for various Catholic podcasts and 3 positive written reviews for Catholic mobile applications. As of this writing, the Facebook has nearly 500 ‘likes’ in less than 48 hours.  This is an excellent idea that allows people not only to share their favorite Catholic blogs, podcasts, websites, and apps– by submitting reviews on iTunes, it will help Catholic podcasters to reach larger audiences through higher rankings in the iTunes directory. This is a great way to support Catholic media, so take some time on March 15 for Catholic Media Promotion Day.   Sean McGaughey no 1:46 http://www.cc.ductapeguy.net/2011/03/11/catholic-roundup-90-callified/ http://www.cc.ductapeguy.net/2011/03/11/catholic-roundup-90-callified/#comments Fri, 11 Mar 2011 12:22:43 +0000 Sean http://www.cc.ductapeguy.net/?p=1535 Read the Rest...
