Episode #37

Special Episode: a round table discussion on the current state of Catholic music featuring George Leite (Catholicjukebox.com radio and Catholic Rockers Podcast) and Ryan Meyers. Inspired by the Intentional Disciples blog on Catholic music.

In this episode, we discussed the following topics:

• The state of our community - is it too insular?
• Is our vision broad enough?
• The need for mentors
• Why are there so many different factions within the Catholic artist community?
• Demographics that are sorely overlooked
• The need for infrastructure
• The effectiveness of Catholic music organizations such as CAM and the UCMVA

No round table discussion is complete without your input! Call the hot line at 206-600-6940 and let your voice be heard.
