The Catholic Geek: Finding God Among the Stars, with Brad Torgersen

Host Declan Finn is joined by novelist Brad R Torgersen, where they will discuss religion in science fiction and fantasy, as well as religion in the modern secular 21st century American landscape, spiritual themes in a technological society, and how science can only ever answer the “How” while we (as a species) often need religion to answer the “Why.”

In short: We're going to have so much fun.
