As a life-long lover of science I was of course delighted to find not only that there was no contradictions between faith and science, but that many scientists were men of faith and that in many ways it was Christianity that birthed the scientific method.
So I was quite glad to come across the podcast The Catholic Laboratory. Produced by Ian Maxfield, a Catholic scientist himself. Normally in each episode he introduces the life and history of another Catholic scientist and their contributions to science. Though he has also had mutl-part episodes for example discussing the multiverse. His presentation is quite enjoyable as he lays out biographies or discussion of science and even tosses out a bad joke or two (bad in a good way). I also enjoyed the interview he did with an author i admire, Benjamin Wiker and I hope he is able to do more such interviews in the future. I would enthusiastically recommend this to all others who enjoy science or are interested in the intersection of science and faith.
