The Catholic Spectrum

Religion EN ↓ 157 episodes

This is Jason Thayer, host of The Catholic Spectrum. I made this podcast because I thought it would be great to share my unique perspective with you, my listeners. I am an autistic Catholic. Each week, I will look at the world through a perspective that is neither "conservative" nor "liberal", but my own. I will even talk about pop culture or wherever my whims may take me!
