Podcast

From Matt Fradd's "Pints with Aquinas" podcast, Matt, and St. Thomas Aquinas, deal with the Catholic perspective on sex and sexuality.  (As you can imagine, marriage is featured prominently.) If you are not familiar with Matt Fradd, you can't help but enjoy an Australian guy who drinks beer while discussing the writings of St. Thomas Aquinas.
