I started a paid subscription to Matt Fradd’s Locals community just to get early access to this interview, thinking I’d find salient parts to link beloved “normie” Catholic friends to, not realizing that of course Dr. K would do the better part of that work for me, with citations!
Here’s what I commented on Locals on first watch:
🥹 This was SO GOOD. I can't begin to express how elated I am to see traditional Catholicism spotlighted like this for "normie" Catholics. And you simply couldn't pick a more eloquent, learned, and loving representative of tradition than Dr. K.
My only concern is that, at nearly four hours, it's probably every bit as hard to bite off and chew as it is for my dear friends raised in the Modern Rite to drive into the city for the Traditional Latin Mass for three months! Still, I can't imagine doing justice to Dr. K's massive corpus of work, let alone showcasing how truly filled with charity he is, by reducing this to soundbites. Hopefully I can pick out some specific clips to share, and when it hits YouTube, use links to those clips to hook friends into watching more.
Thank you, @Matt_Fradd and team, for bringing Dr. Kwasniewski to your audience!
I think the advantage to a podcast, however long, is that it's "easy to consume" as compared with a 200- or 300-page book. Think of how many folks listen to Joe Rogan, who goes on for hours...
So, it will have an effect, and I'm pretty sure that effect will be overwhelmingly positive in the long run. To God be all the glory!

Thanks for your kind words, Clayton!

I can't wait to listen, thank you for sharing!
I’ll be listening to this interview tonight! I’ve been looking forward to this since you announced it.
Best. Interview. Ever. Hands down!
This is great! Thank you!
Dr. K was FraddTradilicious!
There were some blank spaces in my schedule for tomorrow--no longer. I look forward to watching/listening.
