Luke and Gomer
Show overview
Catching Foxes has been publishing since 2015, and across the 11 years since has built a catalogue of 478 episodes, alongside 5 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 620 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence.
Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 1h 5m and 1h 28m — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language Religion & Spirituality show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 2 days ago, with 4 episodes already out so far this year. Published by Luke and Gomer.
From the publisher
Luke and Gomer became friends Freshman year at the Franciscan University of Steubenville and 14 years later they started a podcast. The show oscillates between a conversation between just the two of us and interviews that we do together of other, fancier people. Sometimes we get explicit either by being too honest or by being too stupid. Either way, it's fun!

The One Where Luke Does Impromptu Charismatic Prayer
ELuke and Gomer discuss a variety of topics; some light, some heavy. The two recount their experiences at (different) SEEK conferences and offer their thoughts on the heaviness and difficulty that seems to be moving through the lives of many public-facing Catholics, most recently Paul J. Kim. If you're tired of hearing AI critiques and why AI is killing you (it is), you'll love the first 60 minutes or so. You may want to bow out before the end, if you're a big fan of AI or of Morlocks. Enjoy! Thanks to Saint Kolbe Studios for producing this podcast!

Into the Darkness has Come a Great Light
EThis is a heavy one. Heavy in a good way, but heavy all the same. Lots of unpacking trauma, both from childhood and Gomer's recent bathroom renovation. There's some talk of childhood wounds, betrayal, and other sad topics. If that's not something you've got the energy for around the holidays, no worries. Maybe come back to this one after the new year. Merry Christmas, and hope you enjoy! Produced by Saint Kolbe Studios

Aristotle's Poetics Pt II: How Much I Am Going to Miss Her

A Deep Dive into Shakespeare's The Lion King

A Catholic Movie that Doesn't Suck? It Happened!
EAnthony D'Ambrosio of Triumph of the Heart stops by the show to talk about the process of bringing Saint Maximilian Kolbe's story to life. Get the inside scoop on what it takes to make a Catholic movie that doesn't actually suck. Enjoy!

The World is Flat...but Not in That Way
EHas our world gotten flatter? Are all the edges of culture rounded out and mass produced to the lowest common denominator? Luke and Gomer discuss how movies have lost their soul and houses have gotten gray and boring (and badly made). Take a shot anytime two men in their 40s discuss interior design on this episode (maybe don't listen to this one in the car). Enjoy!

AI Can't Help You Contemplate the Good Life
EAI has plenty of potential upsides. Helping you think more deeply about life isn't one of them. Maybe, if done wrong, it helps us fulfill our worst desires. Will AI reduce us to simply our desires? Can it free up time in our lives to contemplate the truth? Also, there's a lengthy discussion about sex with robots towards the end. It's topical, we promise, but maybe don't listen to this one with your kids. Maybe don't listen to any Catching Foxes episodes with your kids. Enjoy!

Do We Live in Reality? Can We?
ECan we know what reality is? Not in some college-freshman-philosophy-major-existentialism way, but in how we see the world. Are reproductions of things real versions of the original? The fellas continue to talk about the ethics of AI and whether we've lost the ability to truly view realty. Tune in next week for part two of this discussion!

Is Using AI a Mortal Sin?
EThe usage of AI has moral implications, but what are they? Can we use it without losing our souls? Should we all just be listening to Bob Dylan and avoiding AI-generated music? It's a heady one this week. Enjoy!

There is Nothing More Real than Death
EThis is a heavy episode with reflections on mortality, earthly burdens, and the time we spend with our family. Also included, Luke's hope that Pope Leo makes AI usage a mortal sin. Enjoy!

Treat Your Non-Catholic Friends with Dignity w/ Cold Brews and Catholic Truths

Has Marvel Officially Fallen Off?
EWas Thunderbolts a flop? Does it actually do a good job talking about mental health? Luke and Gomer debate this heatedly. Also on the menu today: important songs, most hated movie tropes, and the death of Alasdair MacIntyre. Enjoy!

Has Trump Been Reading Antiwar.com?
EThe fellas talk tariffs - quite unexpectedly. Also in this episode: Diddy, Trump, George Soros, and other demonetizable topics. Strap in! Enjoy!

Da Pope!
EPope Leo XIV has been elected! What can we expect from him? What will the legacy of Pope Francis be? The guys talk about what we know about Pope Leo, how we try to map American politics onto the papacy, and how the pope is from Chicago. USA! USA! USA! Enjoy!

The Fruits (and Frustrations) of the Francis Papacy
EPope Francis has died, but you probably already knew that. If you didn't, that's genuinely impressive. The guys unpack the most recent pontificate and talk about rabbid trads, Bonaventure, and Dilexit Nos. Enjoy!
