 My first Bishop ever to interview on Shoot the Shiitake, and catching him while he’s still very fresh as a first time Bishop, just having been recently ordained, Bishop William Byrne shares his thoughts and experiences as a Bishop, especially in a unique time in the life of the Church and World.  Author, Social Media Personality and now Bishop, he carries all of these responsibilities with joy!

 Musician, Friend and supporter of the BLM movement, Rufus Jones and Fr. Leo discuss racism from a technical, social, and even spiritual point of view.  It gets deep, but it’s worth hearing the carry out order from Fr. Leo and his guest, Rufus.

 Fr. Leo engages three friends who are priests, thought leaders and pastors for people, helping them with the struggles of the covid pandemic.  They offer great insights, encouragement and hope!  Listen, learn and live a fearless faith in Jesus, our Divine Physician!
