The Patrick Madrid Show: October 20, 2025 - Hour 1

Patrick jumps into tough questions about ghosts, what the Church teaches about the supernatural, and the pain faced by regretful detransitioners. He threads together reflections on faith, history, antisemitism, and recently canonized saints, weaving in listener calls and pressing issues with clarity and warmth. Rapid shifts from lighthearted banter to raw testimony make for a blend of compassion, fact, and restless honesty.
