The Father Bob Show #95 - The Nervous Virgo

May 6th, 2008

Bob discusses his busy day, and the donations of money and in kind support from Honda, Signarama, Century 21, and others for the charity property auctions. We talk about the local after school program (check out the Father Bob website for a video interview http://www.fatherbobsfoundation.com.au).

Bob remains frustrated with the functions of volunteers as “mobile resource centres” and what could be achieved with better funding. Would you like to get together with a group of friends to take the Father Bob Hope Mobile out?

The Father Bob Show #94 - Mutton Bird

May 4th, 2008

Again, apologies this week that shows have not been completely available. Cameron has been working very hard and things are just about back to normal.

In today’s show we talk about allegations of drug use by Todd McKenney, Bob’s new list of favourite books to be uploaded to the blog, the Australian leg of the Olympic Torch relay, the pedantry of religious dietary rules vs real world issues, teenage binge drinking, Bob’s time in the Army and summer jobs while studying for the priesthood, his desire to fund more neighbourhood projects, and are vegie plots the answer to the increasing cost of living?

The Father Bob Show #93 - Love the Light Bearer

April 27th, 2008

Spare a thought this week for Cameron Reilly, head monkey of The Podcast Network. After some very frustrating hacking of the website TPN you might have experienced some technical difficulties accessing podcasts and getting some spam emails. Sorry about that, things should be back to normal ASAP.

Today we talk about upcoming ANZAC day, the new venture feeding Melbourne’s needy soon to be run out of the Lexus centre by Eddie McGuire and patronised by Father Bob, the 2020 Summit, and ensuring volunteers are willing to do what needs to be done rather than bring their own agenda. We go over some blog reader’s feedback, catch up with what has been happening on Sunday Night Safran, should we love Satan?, Bob’s rethink on Second Life, and whether the Pope should apologise to victims of sexual abuse in the USA.
