#TheCounterPosition Episode 179 - Lost Audio, New Toys, Moments of Silence, Boomers at Mass Reprised, National Cell Phone Free Day, and more on the Pope as Pastoral Realist

In this episode, after many mea culpas for messing up and losing the audio of two full days of audio interview with Matt Simmons, Andrew finally bites the bullet and buys big boy microphones. Then, after a nice rant about cell phones interrupting him during his porch time and the promotion of a new cell phone free holiday, he takes another stab at how Baby Boomers act after mass vs. the young and examines the concept  of the “moment of silence” as the iconic prayer of a contentless age. Finally, he can’t help himself and he goes back into musing on Pope Francis in light of Giussani and Aristotle’s version of Plato’s Cave. All while holding a microphone like Frank Sinatra or Wayne Newton.
