SQPN: Catholic Insider

Did you count all the Whoppers and Heineken beers in the April 1 Catholic Insider podcast? Then you should check out this important announcement concerning 'Godshow'.

(http://catholicinsider.sqpn.com/files/2005/04/jp2vigil.jpg) This special podcast is dedicated to the events surrounding the death of pope John Paul II in the evening of April 2, 2005. I will take you to Saint Peter's Square where we will experience the emotions of the crowd gathered there in prayer and grief.

The bells of Rome are ringing in honour of this great Pope.

In this show I will take you on another soundseeing tour of saint Peter's square where thousands of people have gathered to be with pope John Paul II in his last moments. We'll do a lot of interviews, and I'll tell you all about what's going on in the Vatican today.

In this extra podcast, I'm taking you with me as I go to the Vatican, where ten thousands of people have gathered in the night to pray together for pope John Paul II, who is dying. There is a lot of emotion and sadness but also much prayer and love.

I've just arrived in Rome. There has just been a statement that the situation of the pope is deteriorating quickly, with vital functions getting shut down. In a minute I will head over to the Vatican to do a podcast on what is happening.

Pope John Paul II is close to death. This night, pope John Paul II has had heart failure, and he received the communion that is given to those who are dying. Listen to a special edition of the Catholic Insider about the situation in the Vatican.

You might have heard of the new plans that Adam Curry is developing around his 'Podshow-idea'. Now I've been working on a very similar idea lately, in collaboration with multimedia organisation Rorate and a big christian advertiser, aimed at the religious podcasters and their audience. Today I am proud to present the religious alternative to Adam Curry's Podshow!!

Today we'll take a bike and we'll go outside, where the morning sun is shining, the air is fresh, and where you can hear the Easter bells and the birds. I'll take you with me on an Easter Egg hunt, we'll have music and some tech talk about mobile podcasting gear!

Walking in Jerusalem and in Rome, and running in Amersfoort to celebrate the Easter Vigil. Just a short podcast on the eve of Easter.

Do you ever have one of those days that just about everything seems to go wrong? Well, today was a day like that for me. But hey, I'm still podcasting at least! In today's Catholic Insider, I'll take you on a soundseeing tour of a once-a-year event in Apeldoorn. This show is about oil, vows, and a liturgical mouse-arm.

Did emperor Constantine invent the divinity of Jesus as part of his powerplay to maintain control? Did Dan Brown do his homework when writing the Da Vinci Code? We'll look at this and other questions in today's Catholic Insider. And I've got some great music for you, both contemporary and medieval.

Computerviolence, nightmares, coffee, beer and friendship. That was the contents of my first radioshows! In this episode of the Catholic Insider I'll share with you my first adventures into the world of audioproduction. I rediscovered a minidisc full of radioshows, promos and minifeatures that I produced when I was studying radio at the Gregorian University in Rome. Warning: no boring sermons in this podcast!

What is fact and what is fiction in Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code? In today's Catholic Insider, we'll start an investigation. And: always wondered why these weird catholics have such strange customs and traditions? I'll tell you everything you've always wanted to know about catholic faith, but were afraid to ask... okay, not everything, but we'll make a start!

What is a catholic priest doing in the streets of Amsterdam in the middle of the night? It's a long story.... listen to the podcast to find out more!
