CD-Pod: Recent Episodes
Mat Maddatu
The purpose of the CD-Pod podcast is to help connect members of the Catholic University community. We want to share what is going on in our daily lives and talk about the important things that are going on in Residence Life, the University, and the field of Higher Education. We’ll share the perspective of staff at the University, get your input on things, and create a place for dialogue and exchanging ideas. This podcast is a collaboration with WCUA, the official radio station of The Catholic University of America. Follow us on Instagram @livingcatholicu to contact us and get any updates.
