Welcome to Episode 101 of the Catholic Roundup Podcast bringing you news and celebrations from the online community of Catholic podcasters, bloggers and musicians. Shownotes: 1) Our condolences to Katherine and Mac Barron from the Catholic in a Small Town  podcast.  Last week, Katherine's mother passed away after a long struggle with brain cancer.  Katherine shared the loving eulogy she gave at her mother's funeral on the Catholic in a Small Town blog.  Our prayers go with their whole family. 2)  Congratulations to Mike and Beth Spellacy from the Secrets of Babylon 5 on SQPN and the Tightrope podcast, upon the arrival of their 5th child, a daughter named Joy.  Our daughter's middle name is Joy and I hope you receive as much joy from your Joy as we have from our Joy. 3) Catholic musician, physician, and blogician, Russ Rentler and his wife Deborah celebrate the 8th anniversary of their return to the Catholic Church on April 30.  In honor of this occasion, they have posted a special podcast on their Crossed the Tiber blog.  This occasion also gives me the chance to play Russ' song, The Way to Emmaeus-- not that I need an excuse to play his music. 4)  This week the Crescat posted an amazing and personal blogpost entitled, Sometimes being Catholic is so very hard…, in which she reflects on how writing allows her to connect with other Catholics and challenges her to grow in her faith.  I feel the same way about podcasting.  Great Job Kat.   Send your feedback, podcast, blog and website promos ideas to the blog at http://catholicroundup.com by email to catholicroundup@gmail.com.

The talk developed into a wide ranging discussion among several veteran Canadian podcasters including Bob Goyetche, Scarborough Dude, Dave Delaney, Bill Deys, Will Spaetzel, Ninja, Sylvain Grandmaison and several others.  A recording of the session is posted above.   As a Catholic podcaster and one who has seen many, many Catholic blogs and podcasts come and go, I am also interested in the faith and ministry aspects of Catholic New Media.  Does the fact that people producing faith based new media are often doing it with a spirit of ministry or vocation make any difference to the phenomenon of podfading?  Just wondering. Note:  This was a heartfelt discussion among many of the participants and there is one or two instances of strong language in the discussion. Discussion Notes   I Quit!!-- Maybe What is Podfading? 1. podfading 21 thumbs up A podcast that after a while becomes less and less frequently updated and then blinks out altogether. Alternately a podcast that is going strong and suddenly stops. The phenomenon has earned its own label, "podfading," coined by podcaster Scott Fletcher in February 2005 when he gave up on two podcasts of his own. -from Wired News By Steve Friess Feb, 07, 2006 http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=podfading 7 Ways to fight podfading? http://youroutsourcesolutions.com/2010/12/7-ways-to-fight-podfade/ http://jasonvanorden.com/how-to-avoid-podfading Bob Goyetche- Killing vs Podfading http://www.bobgoyetche.com/?p=420 Tells the story of beginning and ending MostlyTunes   - My Podcast Experience Librivox Volunteer reader Librivox Community Podcast Admin- MC Back to occasional reader Audio Feedback Podcamp Toronto Blog and Podcast For the Sake of the Song About 150 episodes Now going for 5 years since just after pcto 2012 Started weekly for first year moved to biweekly for a couple years then monthly have considered podfading many times Now It's a mostly summertime activity 12 episodes a year released on the first of the month My 2011/2012 series was finished by August 31.
