It has finally happened. The "grift" has begun! Haha. We have started a Locals community to help defray the costs of producing Avoiding Babylon.
Podcasting is often touted as a form of content creation with no barriers to entry. While it is true that it does not take much more than a cheap webcam and headset to get started, it takes significantly more to produce a podcast that anyone will want to watch or listen to.
Anthony and I have already invested a lot into the equipment and software necessary to produce good-looking and sounding content. On top of that, there are significant monthly costs for continued software subscriptions, domain hosting, email hosting, etc.
We have begun this Locals community to hopefully allow us to cover at least the monthly expenses. Anything additional will be saved to go to equipment upgrades and possibly cover future in-person trips for great content.
We truly appreciate all the support that all of our viewers and friends give us. Thank you all so much!

The Karmelo Anthony verdict is in, the Henry Nowak bodycam case has rocked the UK, and Belfast is burning — and across all three, one question keeps surfacing: is the law applied equally anymore? Tonight, Avoiding Babylon breaks down the verdict in the Austin Metcalf killing, the police handcuffing of a dying Henry Nowak, and the escalating unrest in Belfast, examining the two-tier justice system that seems to treat people differently depending on who they are.
We'll look at these three cases through a Catholic lens — not as isolated headlines, but as symptoms of a civilization that has abandoned equal justice and the moral order beneath it. This is about institutional accountability, media silence, and the collapse of the West, viewed from a higher vantage.

When evangelical leader Charlie Kirk declared "the antidote to feminism is our Lady," Catholics across social media took notice. His surprising admission that "we as Protestants and Evangelicals under-venerate Mary" has sparked intense conversation about whether the prominent conservative commentator might be on a path toward Rome.
The statement represents a significant theological shift for Kirk, who went on to praise Mary as "a phenomenal example and a counter to so much of the toxicity of feminism in the modern era." While careful not to overstate what's happening, we examine this moment through a Catholic lens, exploring how devotion to Mary has historically led many Protestant thinkers toward Catholic teaching. Reports that Kirk has been attending weekday Mass with his wife add an intriguing dimension to the discussion.
We also revisit Michael Knowles' earlier conversation with Kirk about Catholicism, analyzing the challenges of interfaith dialogue when trying to balance ...
