I'm sure I have talked about how I enjoy listening to the Rosary Army Catholic podcast. Episode #96 was pretty interesting because Greg and Jennifer Willits recapped their trip out to California. They went to the 2006 Podcast Award ceremony to receive their award for the "Best General Podcast". They were joined by Father Roderick all the way from the Netherlands as well. Father Roderick received two awards for "Best Inspirational podcast," and "Best Mobile podcast." Boy, Greg, Jennifer and Father Roderick certainly were blessed on this trip. They have a friend of SQPN named "Captain Jeff" who works for a major airline and got very reasonable priced tickets for them to fly to California. Greg, Jennifer, and Father Roderick met a bunch of people who very much enjoy their podcasts. Nothing like meeting fans and friends to boost one's self-esteem! They also met someone who works for the TV show The Simpsons. They sounded very excited about it on episode #96.
I was quite happy to hear about how Greg got to be part of a live taping of a podcast called "the Radio Adventures of Dr. Floyd." Greg and Jennifer's four sons very much enjoy the podcast. I've only heard one episode, the one that was recorded live at the Podcast Awards. (If you click the blue triangle next to the links here, either the Dr. Floyd or Rosary Army episodes should play right on the page.) "The Radio Adventures of Dr. Floyd" is about several time-traveling scientists. It is a very family-friendly and educational podcast. They recorded it old-fashioned radio-show style with homemade sound effects and so on. Greg Willits was privileged to play the part of the narrator. He has a great voice. The story line was quite clever, and there were some well-placed jokes that only adults would catch. I laughed aloud. It is certainly worth a listen. I have to admire the people behind the Dr. Floyd show because they were gracious enough to talk to Greg's son Sam in character via cell phone. Sam shared all his ideas about what Dr. Floyd should do next! I'm sure the phone call made his day!
