The Patrick Madrid Show: April 01, 2026 - Hour 1

Patrick opens with April Fool’s banter and quickly moves from lost TV legends to probing listener questions on wisdom in Scripture, the story of Saint Veronica, and the requirements for plenary indulgences, always with direct, clear Catholic guidance. When news breaks about Oracle’s sudden, AI-driven layoffs, he doesn’t he threads together tech’s upheaval with practical advice on future-proofing work and life itself, all while reflecting on Elon Musk’s shifting reputation and his role in the debate over free speech.
