Episode 18: The Metaphysics of Martyrdom (January 29, 2026)

In this episode of What is Truth?, Jonathon Fessenden interviews The Metaphysics of Martyrdom (January 29, 2026) In this interview, we explore The Metaphysics of Martyrdom by J. Marianne Siegmund, a profound philosophical and theological reflection on martyrdom as more than heroic death—it is an act of metaphysical witness. Drawing from Sacred Scripture, St. Thomas Aquinas, and St. John Paul II, Siegmund presents martyrdom as a convergence of free will, grace, truth, and love, where the human person bears witness to reality itself. Rather than viewing martyrdom merely as suffering or political resistance, this conversation uncovers its deeper meaning: a participation in being, where fidelity to truth, goodness, and beauty is sealed through self-gift. We examine how martyrdom reveals the dignity of the human person, the nature of moral freedom, and the ultimate victory of divine love over violence and death. This discussion is for anyone interested in Catholic philosophy, metaphysics, moral theology, and the mystery of sanctity, especially in a world increasingly hostile to truth.

Episode 16: Thom Brucie on his book Obsidian Mirth (October 20, 2025)

In this episode of What is Truth? Jonathon Fessenden interviews Thom Brucie on his book Obsidian Mirth (October 20, 2025) The characters in Thom Brucie’s Obsidian Mirth fall into a dilemma where loss and betrayal entangle the need for forgiveness and love. Their choices reveal what distinctions lie between knowing one’s self and knowing another, choices that expose that small moment tottering between life-affirming hope and the despair of meaninglessness. This is a heart-rending and beautiful story, and these characters will hover at the outskirts of your thoughts like whispering ghosts of past kinships.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
