Last week, we couldn’t record our podcast because Emily had no voice. Not a raspy voice. Not a hoarse voice. Quite literally no voice. This week, we can’t record because the Stapletons are sailing the high seas sans Internet with Casey’s family. We’ll be back to our regularly scheduled programming next week, but in the meantime, we have a treat for you. Right before they set sail, Kate and Casey recorded a conversation for our full subscribers about their newest documentary, “The Good Neighbor,” which tells the true story of a cowboy doctor from Wisconsin, who rides on horseback to serve the Amish. This week, full subscribers not only get to hear that conversation, but watch the documentary itself. Because it documentary is currently on the film festival circuit, it can’t be available to the general public just yet. But if you click the little button below and join the loyal band of supporters who make this podcast possible, that pesky paywall will just go away. It’s like magic!

Catholic Answers recently tackled a question about whether or not Catholics can, in good conscience, take their families to the beach. This week, on Visitation Sessions, we’re talking about what their answer was lacking, what really constitutes a near occasion of sin, and why going to the beach may be the best reality check there is for people who struggle with objectifying women’s bodies.
