Michaela — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 07:29:54 +0000

Forgive all the off-topic chat this week folks while Bob and I have a natter. We touch on the drug problem and other issues in society and how best to fortify young people and communities with resources to support them. Wondering what Bob is reading this week? We update you with his latest books, one of them by an African dance teacher in Fitzroy, Melbourne. Bob gives us his opinion on the decision to pull Australian troops out of Iraq. We talk about a wish list of incognito reporters from around the world, and cover some listener feedback.

The Father Bob Show #98 - Adopt a Pensioner

Michaela — Sat, 31 May 2008 04:16:44 +0000

In today’s show we discuss the grass root’s concept of communities “adopting” a pensioner, the ageing population of the parish, Maureen Johnston’s funeral, the high cost of upkeeping the property and buildings at South Melbourne, who pays for funerals for the poor?

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 a 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 held in October in the Galillee School Hall next to the Sts Peter and Paul Church in South Melbourne as a fundraiser for the FBMF. Should churches be locked to protect them from vandalism, or thrown open to the public as an urban sanctuary? We go over some listener feedback and thank Chris Summerfield from WA for his ongoing enthusiasm.

Michaela — Sun, 04 May 2008 11:31:11 +0000

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

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.
