Even if you’re not Catholic the Loop is well worth a listen. The hosts are entertaining, the content is prime, and the commentary is always edifying. AMDG

This is my favorite podcast. They present the necessary and interesting news to know with an informative and entertaining style. The Catholic perspective provided really elevates it above other news podcasts. I highly recommend listening!

My husband and I listen/watch each episode together. The content is pertinent to our interest in everyday matters. We learn more about our Catholic faith and have come to rely on the information presented. I recommend the LOOPcast to anyone interested in the truth.

Your joy-o-meter is about to hit HIGH. Great audio quality leads the listener into complex and zany newscast of what is happening to us, right now! Yes, this is your world news report from a Catholic, somewhat normy, trio of hosts.

Great pod! Very informative.

This show helps to keep me up to date and informed regarding my Catholic faith and the political world we are all living in. All three hosts bring differing insights and opinions to the table which makes it interesting and gives us multiple viewpoints to think about. They do all this with a little humor too! Really enjoy the show. Keep up the great work!! This review is for you Tom. No longer on the bad number of reviews.

Great information in an entertaining way!

Down with Nero, down with the beast

I’ve been listening to LOOPcast for several years now and find it both entertaining and informative on what is happening in the world (primarily political) from a Catholic perspective.

I’ve been listening to the LOOPcast for a couple of years now and it keeps me well informed of not only events in the sphere of Catholicism, but also domestically and globally.

Love this show! It’s my go to for Keeping up with news, politics, and what’s going on with the Catholic Church! Very knowledgeable, easy to listen to, and entertaining hosts!

I love this podcast! It has become my favorite political podcast. They are very well-informed, articulate, funny, and most importantly, loyal and faithful to the Magisterium and the teachings of the Church. You guys are doing such important work; keep it up!

Let’s face facts - the pod is quite informative. Been listening for almost a year- and I look forward to this every MWF. But there are some negatives: Josh’s take on New Haven pizza - total clown knowledge. Josh’s take on Midwestern Thin pizza - pretty good. So he makes up for his lack of New Haven pizza knowledge. Erika - She brings the lovliness and sweetness to the pod. Brings the facts and knows pizza (Frank Pepe’s, Modern, Sally’s, Zuppardi’s). Love her takes, and she’s also funny. Tom - could be my son, soccer, food, funny. In 20 years we’ll be voting for him to be something bigtime. Y’all Crush Souls!! Updated 2.7.25 This pod just gets better every show. Good people talking common sense.

I consume and appreciate a lot of podcasts, but for the last two years, I never miss Loopcast. Love the content, balance and personalities. We joined the champions club and have no regrets.

Ave alumni here from 2010--Ive been listening to the LoopCast for a couple of years and I love you guys! Super informative, thorough, and charitable. And always upbeat. My favorite place to get the news, truly. Keep up the good work!

Tune into these morons & they will make you feel great about Trump! Trump pardoned Reed Ulbricht- someone who sold over a billion in hard drugs over the internet! So please- these three are fools!

I love The LOOPcast and try to listen/watch every MWF. It’s so nice to get current events and hear smart people give their take not only through a Catholic lens but also with humor. It’s a refreshing alternative to other political talk shows. You say what’s in my head and sometimes give me more to consider. I’m thankful to God for the show and everyone who makes it happen. May God bless each of you and continue to bless your work on the show and with Catholic Vote!

Informative, funny, factual and truly Catholic. The Loopcast has a great mix of topics and opinions. Definitely not cookie cutter. You guys rock

I’ve so enjoyed the growth of the Loopcast since its beginning. I appreciate the research, insight, and commentary over the wide range of topics both secular and of the Catholic world. The fact that you may not all agree but discuss and share is refreshing. Thank you and keep up the good work! We are always praying for you all at Catholic loop. *JMJ*

Normie faithful Catholic here…I absolutely love this podcast! I enjoy hearing about the political news of the day from a Catholic perspective. They love Jesus and the USA. The fun holiday episodes are great! Grateful these voices are out there. On my must listen list.

…until I heard them talking and realized they’re just a bunch of Trump simps that know nothing about actually praising Jesus and his teachings

This podcast is ultimately a space for three hateful people who pretend to be Catholic to spew dangerous rhetoric.

I listen only on the podcast and lose half of what you are saying because you talk over each other! I know you are enthusiastic but……. I love you guys, but be cognizant of us audio only fans.

I’ve been a listener for a little while, and I appreciate the news commentary and the relationship between the hosts. However, I recently decided to stop listening for one very important reason: they are very critical of Pope Francis. I get that a lot of things he says and does, on the surface, seem scandalous. But I think we need to dig deeper so that we don’t risk criticizing the Pope. And I don’t think the hosts do enough digging on this. As a matter of conscience, I have to stop listening to the Loopcast.

Please stop talking over each other. When you talk over one another, you end up communicating nothing. I can’t listen anymore

I've enjoyed listening to this podcast for the past few months leading up to the election. After awhile I decided to stop listening to hype music while I run and instead listen to the LOOPcast. To my surprise I have been running faster ever since. There is no going back. Love the mix of opinions and perspectives between POGO, Josh and Erica!

We love LoopCast in our family! Only podcast I consistently listen to. It feels like they’re my friends. My two year old asks me if it’s a “loopcast day.” This show has educated me on politics (and a variety of topics) better than any podcast. As a returned-Catholic with a husband who is converting to the faith, it has been helpful for us to listen and hear genuine, plain-language, normal Catholic opinions. Thanks, Loopers!

Where can I find Erica’s interviews?

This is my go to every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. If you are a serious Catholic and you enjoy politics, you will love it.

I enjoy the trio on The Loop cast. They mesh well together by not talking over each other and touch on the top headlines.

Erika, Josh, & Tom bring an entertaining, humorous, and logical review of current events in our nation and world. They are light-heated, solid followers of Jesus and the Church He left us. If you want to cut thru the gaslighting and lying of mainstream news sources-this is the podcast for you!

Greatness at its best. The Loop is a great podcast. I am a conservative Catholic and it is refreshing to hear like minded people discuss current events. Even if you are not Catholic, I invite you and encourage you to listen to this podcast. You won’t be disappointed.

Loop cast is not only informative, but entertaining, providing a Catholic view on the news. Keep up the good work all!

I LOVE this podcast! I am a traditional Catholic but even if you are not, such a refreshing news report! Truth!

I listen to every episode of this podcast. Wonderful Catholic perspectives on current events. Telling the truth with love. Enjoy Tom, Josh, and Erika’s chemistry. Thank you!

The LoopCast is amazing. When everyone around me seems to be moving farther and farther left this show makes me feel sane and not so alone in our world. I love the intelligent and humor and they are always so well prepared! Erika is my inspiration and I look forward to every show. Thank you and keep up the amazing work! I appreciate all three of you and everyone behind the scenes. I am praying for one of my 4 kids to attend Ave Maria because of POGO! Jill (Notre Dame 1999 and mom of 4 in Colorado)

Ballerina Farm fan, listened to hear what you had to say about her- but the amount of hate on this podcast is only adding to the divide between people, is money more important more important than peace on Earth? By refusing to give people the benefit of doubt, name calling, actively showing and promoting contempt for those who are different are you acting out Jesus’ mission to help humanity or are you mucking about sewing division and anarchy amongst the bretheren.

So many good points

Love this show! It is the easiest way for me to stay in the know while not having to be glued to my phone/tv AND with peace of mind knowing their perspective of coverage aligns with my morals and values! Be warned, sometimes these cohosts dig deep and name call political figures. Me personally, I’m not a fan of that. They also have the typical “news commentator” problems of constantly interrupting one another, sometimes making it unlistenable to the point where I just skip ahead. Overall though, these are the tiniest of qualms I have with the show - don’t let these deter you, rather just know them going in and I think you’ll love the show too!

I’m rating three stars. I love the content and perspective. However- the show is Josh. Josh interrupting. Josh snark. Josh with uncharitable comments. I respect his opinions but seriously- he needs to be moderated. No one else gets a word in. And he’s extremely arrogant. The show could use a dose of opening prayer. I know it’s a political show but it’s also a Catholic one. It would be awesome if they opened with prayer and closed with prayer (not just a Saint invocation). It would put things into perspective. After all, there is no such thing as utopia in this world.

Longtime Loop reader and I finally gave the podcast a try and I’m so glad I did! They cover all the news I’m interested in from US to world and Catholic issues. Love getting an authentic Catholic perspective on all the big stories. Tom, Erika, and Josh have great co-host chemistry, and it’s a very fun listen. Frequent lol moments. Try it out.

Loopcast is a fantastic way to learn the news in the world & the Catholic Church, while being delighted by the humor of the hosts. Erika is so sweet and thorough in her research, while Josh’ sarcasm and rants frequently match my own attitudes towards things. It is on my “must listen to” list for podcasts, and should be on yours too!

Right up my alley. I appreciate the Catholic perspective on the news as well as news on Catholicism. I learned what TLM is. Not a fan myself: I was young when they changed to English - no desire to return to Latin! Arlington diocese is regularly getting new priests. Great place to be.

This trio of courageous Catholics make my day each time an episode is released. I enjoy getting news through a Catholic lens & the banter between the three hosts has me joining in as if I’m there…being a fellow GenX, I do a great deal of head nodding with Josh & Erika & Tom’s GenZ flavor complements the commentary for a balanced, entertaining, interesting, educational, and uplifting podcast! Thank you for this ministry…21st century Catholics need champions of the faith! May the Holy Spirit continue to keep a fire in your hearts for this! God bless you & your families!

I enjoy the show and hearing perspectives on the latest events and news from a Catholic point of view. Great stuff and keep up the good work. PS Shout out to Tom for keeping it all together.

These folks tell us they are Catholics and yet, the hosts are a never-ending font of deceit & dishonesty. I know a LOT about Catholicism and lying is forbidden. It’s super depressing to witness politically-minded Catholics use their time, talent & treasure to confuse listeners and spread lies. Heartbreaking really - self-identified Catholics spreading atheism instead of the good news of Christ. There are Catholic podcasts out there hosted by genuine, confessional Christians - go find one of those and stay far away from the atheists and nihilists of Loopcast.

This podcast is fire

May 6, 2024 - Still a big fan of LoopCast. While the discussions are too newsy for my liking, though I guess they can’t get away from it - the news these days is exasperating - the crew always entertains as well as informs. A big thumbs up for Josh’s Twilight Zone today! Pope John Wayne! I could absolutely get behind that!

I love the camaraderie of your team. Your show is entertaining and informative.

Good info, but I hate when Tom talks to Josh like he’s his dad. **Ok, first of all, of course I’m listening! Second, I meant Tom talks to Josh like Tom is Josh’s dad, and third, hate was a strong word, my bad. It’s Friday, I changed it to four stars.
