The Catholic Spectrum: Recent Episodes
Jason Thayer
This is Jason Thayer, host of The Catholic Spectrum. I made this podcast because I thought it would be great to share my unique perspective with you, my listeners. I am an autistic Catholic. Each week, I will look at the world through a perspective that is neither "conservative" nor "liberal", but my own. I will even talk about pop culture or wherever my whims may take me!
This week, I bring back my anime reviews that I used to do on these podcasts with an obscure series called Haibane Renmei, which I just found out is on YouTube!

Why has this song sparked so much controversy that CMT had to pull the video, and Aldean had to post a fake apology?
This week, I review a new comics anthology called “Sensory: Life on the Spectrum” that came out last year and was edited by Rebecca Ollerton. I look at some of the stories in the book and whether to get it yourself.
