  • The Kentucky Meat Shower

    The Kentucky Meat Shower
    Mar 27 2026

    In 1876, raw meat rained from a clear sky over a Kentucky farm, leaving the whole county and big city newspapers confounded. Jimmy Akin and Dom Bettinelli work through the proposed explanations to find the most likely culprit, and there's one part they still can't fully explain.

    From 1895 to 1900, a burst of discoveries transformed science's understanding of matter itself. Jimmy Akin and Dom Bettinelli trace the full arc of radiation's discovery — from Röntgen's X-rays to Becquerel's uranium rays to Marie Curie naming radioactivity — and examine its dangers, benefits, and significance.

A broad-based topically diverse podcast, unique in the field in that it takes on honest and earnest review of phenomena from across the popular press “hot topics”. Best of all, it does not give short shrift to the hard science, but rather lays out the depth and breadth of scientific understanding on a subject matter; then, it shifts gears to consider the same topic from the perspective of the Church. You’ll be surprised just how many issues in science and popular culture are not in opposition to Church teachings. Thought provoking.

Jimmy Akin’s podcast is unafraid to tackle issues from both a scientific perspective AND the Catholic teachings.

Some of the topics sound super interesting, some of the topics sound super dull. Somehow I'm drawn in to every single episode. Jimmy not only teaches about a topic using sound scientific methods, as well as teaches about the faith through a lens of something "mysterious" about our world, but in doing so, he also teaches how to be an amateur scientist and apologist by breaking down his method of exploration which in turn teaches us how to be better citizens of our universe.

The only podcast I HAVE to listen to every week
