The Father, The Son & The Holy Toast: Recent Episodes
Beno Smith
Welcome to The Father, The Son & The Holy Toast podcast. A series of conversations between my dad, who has been a priest for over thirty years and myself, who stopped going to church when I was a teenager. Join us as we discuss his life as a priest and dive into philosophical discussions, all while sampling a different beer each episode. Cheers!
This episode was recorded during the Easter weekend. I decided to take an Easter quiz to test my knowledge in front of Dad, which I believe both amused and disappointed him. This week was my round and I got us a can of Faith, a Hazy Pale Ale from the Northern Monk Brewery in Leeds. Thanks for listening. Cheers!
This conversation we discuss how religion is keeping up with a fast moving society and Dad takes on the cynical, dismissive Atheists. This week was Dad's round and he got us a can of 'Here Now You' from Three Hills Brewing. Cheers!
In this episode I find out more about my dad's role at York Minster, we explore the effects of the pandemic and discuss our relationship with our own mortality. This week was my round and we drank Tynt Meadow, a strong ale brewed by Trappist Monks in Leicester. Cheers!
In this fourth episode of 'The Father, The Son & The Holy Toast' we explore the churches role in the larger moments of life and find out how taking a funeral is similar to being a stand-up comedian. Dad's choice this week was a can of Salvation, a sea salt & caramel stout from the Abbeydale Brewery in Sheffield. Cheers!
This is the third episode of 'The Father, The Son & The Holy Toast'. Dad and I talk about the naughtiest thing he did at theological college, dig a little deeper into the existence of God and he shares a preview of his latest Sermon. Thank you for listening. Cheers!
During this conversation I continue to find out my dads' journey to becoming a priest, including sherry parties at theological college and protecting a church during a storm during his time as a curate (an apprentice vicar).
Welcome to 'The Father, The Son & The Holy Toast'. In this first episode we talk about Michael's earliest memories of church and how his faith endured life as a teenager.
