Welcome to Jesuitical, a new podcast for young Catholics hosted by three young, lay editors at America—Olga Segura, Zac Davis and Ashley McKinless. Each episode we will bring you some of the top (and maybe more obscure) Catholic news of the week. We will also speak with a guest who offers a unique perspective on world events, culture or our faith. And we'll ask: Where do we find God in all this?
Jesuitical shows just why Ignatian spirituality is so powerful, honest, not always comfortable but always mindful of the presence and action of God. And there are drinks... what’s not to like.

I really love this podcast!
Super thoughtful and fun! A constant consolation! Love these three and their sharing of their thoughts and faith lives.

Thoughtful and entertaining
Even though I am a) not American and b) probably older than the target age group, I always find something interesting and thought-provoking on this podcast. It’s both entertaining and thoughtful and, unlike most programmes or podcasts about religion, moves deftly between Current Affairs and spirituality while avoiding being pious or deferential.

Pretty good
Is it weird that I am an atheist but I got into this from hearing about it on the Jewish podcast Unorthodox (to which it owes its format) and now listen every week? The presenters are earnest and sweet and the show is really interesting.

Entertaining AND illuminating!
This intelligent and humorous podcast shows the light-hearted side of Catholicism. Very enjoyable listen, especially (in my case) after a long workday! The podcast being associated with America Media means that the content is of very high quality.

A brilliant, and reflective, pick me up each week!
I love this podcast!
I love the news round up, the interviews, and the weekly reflections.
I love the presenters and their the openness about their lives.
I love the fact it's helped me think about how I pray and see God in my daily life.
And, of course, I love Zac's singing.
Keep it up guys!!

Great resources for young Catholics
As a young Catholic, I can feel stuck between two worlds - seen as a freak by non-Catholic friends, and not "Catholic enough" to the Catholic world. This podcast gives me hope! The conversation always resonates, and recognises the real challenges of being a young Catholic in our society. There are many resources for Catholic mothers and families, but there is a dearth in resources for Catholics in the post-university, pre-family stage. Thanks for giving me a sense of fellowship, and reminding me that I'm not the only one facing these challenges!
