Michaela — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 08:05:05 +0000

After a few weeks break due to life happening, we return and talk about the coldest winter we can remember for a long time which is especially pertinent given Bob’s visual statement of constructing a mock tent city on his front lawn (more info to come).

The Father Bob Show #97 - Ne’er the twain shall meet

Michaela — Wed, 21 May 2008 05:01:59 +0000

Today in a regrettably shorter show we note the sad passing of Maureen Johnson, and note the remarkable differences in action between Catholics who are so similar in their religion. Also aÂ walkathon and the winter sleep out is being undertaken by a local Catholic’s boy’s school to raise money for the FBMF, Bob is the voice of the World Youth Day audio tour courtesy of Cameron Reilly, the police-involved shooting in South Melbourne. Thanks to Jacinta and Lachlan who are organsing “Art for a Cause” to be heldÂ in October in the Galillee School Hall next to the Sts Peter and Paul Church in South Melbourne as a fundraiser for the FBMF.Â Should churches be locked to protect them from vandalism, or thrown open to the public as an urbanÂ sanctuary? We go over some listener feedback and thank Chris Summerfield from WA for his ongoing enthusiasm.

The Father Bob Show #93 - Love the Light Bearer

Michaela — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 12:00:53 +0000

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.

The Father Bob Show #86 - No Halo for Father

Michaela — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 06:57:58 +0000

Sorry in the delay in getting this show out folks - I had some corrupted hardware to deal with. In this show, Bob and I start with discussing the Gangland murders and whether Channel 9’s “Underbelly” will be aired in Victoria, and repentance and reconciliation. Most importantly, we discuss Sorry Day. We also talk Bob’s School Assistance program and the privacy of those involved, and ash as a religious statement in the workplace.

The Father Bob Show #83 - “He Came, He Went; Thanks”

Michaela — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 09:42:08 +0000

This “Australia week” Bob and I discuss his program supporting kids at school, buying books for the start of the new school year this week. Also an amusing (could it be anything else from him!) anecdote from a fundraising dinner Bob attended last week. What Bob will be up to on Australia day, including attending Triple J’s Hot 100 (don’t mention the Aborigines).

We discuss the sad passing of Heath Ledger and give our public condolences to his family, for what they are worth, especially to little Matilda. Finishing up this podcast is a report from an FBMF operative, Chris Summerfield, and his work in Perth, WA.

The Father Bob Show #82 - Rev. Paul Creasy

Michaela — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 09:41:06 +0000

This week I take a backseat as producer while Bob chats with Rev. Paul Creasy, Outreach ministries officer, and resource and development officer from the Uniting Church of Australia. Andrew Gillet is the resource liaison officer who is Paul’s producer.

Paul interviews Bob about how he became a priest, the work that ecumenical co-operation could do, what the future is for the FBMF, what could be done with Chaplains without Borders, the status of the Spirituality Australia installation, and more.
Again, I hope that this show will soon be available in a video podcast format, but the audio option will always be the first priority.

Today we discuss some future video content, Bob’s warming up to the Twitter idea, we catch up with quite a bit of listener feedback, Tony Blair’s conversion to Catholicism, the Catechism, Nathan Abott’s spirituality, and Bob’s responses lead him to be thankful that the Catholic Church doesn’t do Fatwahs!

The Father Bob Show #77 - Henry Nissen

Michaela — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 14:36:55 +0000

Last Friday I spent the afternoon chasing after Bob to try and get him to talk. He sat down for “five minutes” and stayed for 40. I bring it before you for your delectation. Bob and I discuss my father’s last days and annointing of the sick and his funeral, the Eureka Stockade, this week’s Sunday Night’s Safran (with one of my favourite writers - Danny Katz), Foundation lapel buttons, the “lost” Enough Rope interview, the Podcast Junky.

Apologies if there this episode was a little bit too heavy with my personal stuff. Hopefully the interview with Henry Nissen of the FBMF will make up for it.

Michaela — Fri, 18 May 2007 04:25:20 +0000

Hi guys, another interview for you today. My headphones are a little bit busted so I was doing heavy breathing through the lot of it without knowing! So, it’s not Darth Vader returned, but little old me.
Bob and I discuss the baby left at Dandenong Hospital and his experience with an abandoned baby 20 years ago. We are soon joined by Steve Pratt of Virtual Parenting. His company rents out models of babies with data loggers inside that are given mainly to teenagers at school to give them some idea of what it would be like to become parents. While talking about these babies we discover Bob’s secret penchant for Big Brother! Contact Steve at steve at virtualparenting dot com dot au, and go to his website at www.virtualparenting.com.au
Steve has a plan. Random acts of kindness, a lapel pin, the foundation, a membership, and $10. Tell us what you think. A reminder, if anyone would like a copy of “On the road again: A Streetworkers Handbook”, or if you have any other enquiries, please email me at michaela_w at hotmail dot com.

Today Bob and I sit down and amicably shoot the breeze. We start off light, talking Ben Cousins and a fundraiser at the local bank, and end up talking about stem cells. Not quite sure how that happened. Sorry it’s been a while, we’ve both been very pressed for time. Cheerio!

The Father Bob Show #54 - Motu Proprio

Michaela — Tue, 20 Mar 2007 09:07:53 +0000

Today Bob and I discuss the book “Acting on Conscience” by Frank Brennan, after I finally finished reading it! We have the listener question of the week, the latin word of the week (no prizes for guessing what that is), and listen to Bob eating his lunch. Bon appetite!

The Father Bob Show #53 - Doing it Differently

Michaela — Fri, 09 Mar 2007 07:35:14 +0000

Today Bob and I chew the fat over the results of his charity art auction, forum comments, and potential multimedia extravaganzas for Easter and the feast of Sts Peter and Paul. We have a new segment - Latin Word of the Week - courtesy of Eddie from Texas, in addition to our Listener Question of the Week. There’s also lots of other fun stuff, listen and discover for yourself….

The Father Bob Show #52 - Blind Babies

Michaela — Sat, 03 Mar 2007 08:36:01 +0000

Bob and I start off today by talking about the latest Vinson report published by Jesuit Social Services. It is called “Dropping off the edge: the distribution of disadvantage in Australia”. The executive summary can be found at:
http://www.jss.org.au/documents/070226-Summary-DroppingofftheEdge.pdf or the main website at www.jss.org.au

Bob reflects on the impact that religious icons and hardware in churches can intimidate regular people, the vandalism to his outdoor noticeboard, and his blog post about Lent. We move on to the tendency for institutions to become corrupt, including the church and police. This becomes a discussion of Bob’s role as Chaplain during the Vietnam War, and the current international conflicts.

We discuss our new Second Life player Igor who has volunteered his time, expertise, and resources to make Bob’s dream come true of a Bob Robot. Also, the disappointing results of the podathon, and Bob’s futile care program, and of course the Listener Question of the Week!

The Father Bob Show #51

Michaela — Sat, 24 Feb 2007 21:49:30 +0000

Bob and I have two quick chats today in between bus tours of the inner city in Melbourne. I was with him for nearly four hours and managed to get him in front of the mic for 20 minutes. We were busy having other meetings though during the day. Perhaps a longer show next week.

The Father Bob Show #50 - The Podathon!

Michaela — Sat, 17 Feb 2007 07:36:55 +0000

Join Father Bob, Cameron Reilly, Andrew Decker, Dez Rock, and me, Michaela Walsh, for the celebratory 50th Father Bob Show! We start off OK, but my efforts to keep things orderly soon disappears amongst the chaos. I should have known better.

Bob talks about how he likes the TV show “Heroes”, and his appearance on “A Current Affair” and the upcoming episode of “1 vs 100″. We answer the listener question of the week from Eddie in Texas about American Televangelists, and talk about the extraction of troops from Iraq.
We do manage to get a few good ideas out of the show though. See yourselves as investors/sponsors rather than just donors. Bob asked me to post this letter from him:

“You all know all about me and my affairs and, therefore, in a unique position to support me in my attempt to endow FBMF with quality social assests. Open Family Australia, in some form of other, to walk with street people, Emerald Hill Mission in some form or other to provide practical TLC for a neighbourhood. Futile Care to provide long term urgent, classified, flexible funding for totally, permanently, emotionally/spiritually disabled veterans of streets/neighbourhood, no longer a threat to society but not much good to themselves, family or friends because of the “lost” 30 years. Then there’s the “quantum leap” projects, not “palliative” but aspirational - Chaplains Without Borders, Schools Without Borders, the Bali Orphanage run by Mike Dolbey, and Melbourne Lodge. I want the Fr. Bob Maguire Foundation to be both palliative AND aspirational.”

The Father Bob Show #49

Michaela — Fri, 09 Feb 2007 11:21:19 +0000

Bob is being very random today. We discuss his feelings about the last podcast and the “god” argument. We have a long chat about the activities of our various operatives (previously ninjas). The tone you hear indicates where I had to edit out long conversations between Bob and the electrician. Terry Monagle (Bob’s biographer) joins us at the end for a friendly chat.

Bob will appear on 1 vs 100 in April on the Channel 9 network. More details as they become available.

The Father Bob Show #48 - Is religion evil?

Michaela — Wed, 31 Jan 2007 06:57:06 +0000

Once again the “chief troublemaker” of the Podcast Network and founder of The Father Bob Show joins us. His main occupation is stirring up Bob and watching him shut down and refuse to answer any questions. Listen to the argument at your own risk! Get ready for our big listener fundraiser in Show #50. Back to regular programming next week.

The Father Bob Show #47 - “Bang goes God and Bob!”

Michaela — Tue, 23 Jan 2007 22:45:39 +0000

In this week’s show we answer the listener question of the week from Shelley asking “What is Liberation Theology?”. This inevitably leads on to Bob’s favourite topic at the moment; quantum theology.
Bob recalls his nightmares resulting from a bowl of low fat food in relation to the 30-second survey (see earlier blog post for link). We discuss Life After Death, “The Lion The Witch, and The Wardrobe”, and when is a frozen embryo a human being?
The Archibald Prize Entry portrait of Bob painted by Barbara Biggs is entitled “Not them and us, it’s we”.

The Father Bob Show #46 - Forgive us for we are human: Bob and Michaela are tired

Michaela — Tue, 16 Jan 2007 11:33:58 +0000

Today is a bit of a shorter show as we take stock of where we are at. Bob and I were in meetings for over two hours before we recorded this show organising the “big picture”. So when we start out we’re a little slow going, so please bear with us!

Stay tuned for the You Tube DVD of Christmas Eve - I am having some technical difficulties and will post a link on the forum as soon as it is up. Please comment if we get it up and going, and/or comment on the photos on this blog page. Bob would love some feedback for Easter and next Christmas.

Check out this blog post on “Father Bob for Cardinal”. You might like to comment:

Are you a gamer or know someone is reliable and plays second life? We need a gamer who can play as Bob’s avatar Bobagee and get a Spirituality Australia Model built.

Send us your listener question of the week for Bob, we’d be interested to hear what you want from the show.

The Father Bob Show #45 - Baby Max has a vampire father and a werewolf grandmother

Michaela — Tue, 09 Jan 2007 07:55:29 +0000

Bob describes some of his international operatives/activists of Open Family Online (previously Father Bob’s Ninjas). Let Bob or Michaela know if you would like a copy of “On the road again - A Street Workers Handbook”. Email Bob at sppchurch@hotmail.com or Michaela at michaela_w@hotmail.com.

We also discuss Bob’s latest blog post discussing the heroism of Wesley Autrey who saved a man having a fit who had fallen onto train tracks in Harlem, USA. Bob also admires the true story told in the latest Will Smith flick “The Pursuit of Happyness“
Bob laments the rise of Global catholocism. I bring up the Warsaw bishop Stanislaw Wielgus who was accused of collaborating with communist secret police. Since we recorded this show, the archbishop has been appointed and denied these allegations.
This leads onto a fairly detailed discussion of the history of catholic involvement, good and bad, during WW2. I also quiz Bob on the practical use of closed prayerful or slient orders of nuns and the role of brothers as opposed to priests.

Among the discussion of recent current affairs Bob and I also debate the allocation of funding for abortion counselling to the Catholic organisation Centacare.

The Father Bob Show #44 â€“ The Christmas Edition

Michaela — Sat, 23 Dec 2006 05:31:53 +0000

Bob discusses his latest blog post about embryonic stem cells. I couldn’t comment as I hadn’t read it. He adds to his message “Do no harm but a little bit of good if you can” with “Don’t think of it as us, but we”, using some examples of recent cases in the media. Are we getting to pious in this podcast? Let us know.

We read out Christmas messages for Bob from the listeners. For alternative Christmas gifts check out the thread on the ninja forum: http://forum.thepodcastnetwork.com/viewforum.php?f=4

Check out Bob’s article in the Sunday Age this week (and possibly the Sydney Morning Herald). Keep an eye out for a TV program featuring Bob on Christmas eve or day… Bob has no idea!

Bob analyses in depth the differences between various types of sugarless, normal, and excessively boozy Christmas fruit cakes. He thanks Jesus for “Lost” coming back on TV in February, and doubts my claims about the legality of listening to music through earphones in various modes of transport.

For those who would like to come to Bob’s Christmas service, carols, african drums, carols, jewish horn call to prayer, carols, and muslim call to prayer, carols, and Aboriginal didgeridoo at 7pm. Mass is at 8pm. Sts Peter and Paul corner Dorcas and Montague Sts South Melbourne, sunday evening, all welcome - even rich plastered twenty-somethings.

Music used is “Deck The Halls with We Wish You A Merry Christmas” played by Doug Boldt. Courtesy of the PodShow podsafe music network http://music.podshow.com.

The Father Bob Show #43 - Bob communicates by hand squeezes in morse code

Michaela — Thu, 14 Dec 2006 08:17:07 +0000

Today Bob discusses the penalty for rape in the context of an article written by Barbara Biggs in the Herald Sun. We talk about Open Family Australia’s Christmas Appeal and Christmas Cards, and the opportunity to donate to the Father Bob Maguire foundation for Christmas.

We also chat about the recent happenings on the forums, and the opportunities for people to step up and help out, or do one of the ninja Mini-Missions. Also, Bob suggests talking to someone at a nursing home. Ethical question of the week - should we give money to beggars in the street?

The Father Bob Show #42 - Return of the Prodigal Smartarse

Michaela — Wed, 06 Dec 2006 13:31:31 +0000

Today I (being Michaela) struggle to get a word in as self-confessed smartarse Cameron Reilly (head honcho and CEO of The Podcast Network, founder of The Father Bob Show, and global media mogul), returns for a cameo. This of course brings out the most argumentative side in Bob. There really is no rhyme or reason, structure, or suitable place to edit in a starting place for this show. We return to regular programming next week. Bon appetite!

The Father Bob Show #41 - A taste for incense and crystals

Cameron — Fri, 01 Dec 2006 05:19:39 +0000

Today the discussion centres around Bobâ€™s blog posts and related comments.
We relfect on the sad passing of Robert Sinclair, who helped Bob out with
giving holidays to housing ministry kids. Bob replies to a great post to the
forum by Annette and Steve regarding a possible new arm to the FBM
foundation. What great ninjas!

We also talk about Bob’s view on electing a new pope, the history of the
power of Rome, and the meaning of religion. We try and define the nature of
civility in today’s society.

Don’t worry that the start of the show seems to be about a minute in, as I
thought our pre-show discussion was interesting enough to incude! Also the
EXCLUSIVE preview of who will be on Sunday Night Safran this week.

Bob will be appearing at the public meeting of the Spirit of Eureka on
December 1st, and talking on Sunday nght on 3AW with Dr Coburn (spelling??)
regarding domestic violence.

The Father Bob Show #39 - Bob Needs A Robot

Michaela — Wed, 15 Nov 2006 05:25:01 +0000

download linkÂ

Today’s show is a little shorter as Bob is very pressed for time. In an extremely roundabout way we talk about what’s happening on the forums, Bob’s efforts to get the local police to answer his phone calls, and Elton John’s views on religion. I attempt to inject some method in the madness but am resigned to the fact that on this show I will only be able to describe structure rather than impart it!

The Father Bob Show #38 - Burning Down The Church

Michaela — Tue, 07 Nov 2006 17:30:41 +0000

download link

Today Father Bob and Michaela continue to mull over the progress of Open Family online. We discuss the death sentence of Saddam Hussein and the Australian public’s reaction in relation to the nature of religion on paper and religion in practice and contemporary TV such as “Jericho” and “Lost”. Bob reflects on almost getting decked by a wedding guest, not saying “Jesus” in public, nearly burning down the church hall, and trying to attract the attention of a congregration by smashing his nose.
