Pints With Aquinas
On March 29, 2016, Fradd launched his podcast, Pints With Aquinas, a Catholic long-form discussion podcast based on the writings of Thomas Aquinas.[6][7]
Gregory Pine, O.P., a Dominican friar, first appeared on Pints With Aquinas on June 5, 2018. He now creates 15-20-minute frequently released bonus episodes on Fradd's podcast. Fradd has hosted many influential people in the Catholic Church, including Mike Schmitz, Jason Evert, Donald Calloway, Jimmy Akin, and Scott Hahn.
Mother Natalia, a Byzantine Catholic nun, first appeared on Pints With Aquinas on June 2, 2020. She now also creates short bonus episodes on Fradd's podcast, including topics like discerning vocations, evil thoughts, and lust.
Love People Use Things
December 6, 2017, Fradd started co-hosting a podcast called Love People Use Things with Noah Church, an atheist.[8] This podcast's central message was to fight the dangers of pornography, and both Fradd and Church agreed that life is better without pornography. The show ended in late 2019 after releasing episode 49.
The Matt Fradd Show
In 2018, Fradd released The Matt Fradd Show, a Catholic long-form discussion podcast. The following year, however, he abandoned the show and turned Pints With Aquinas into more of a long-form discussion podcast rather than a show about theology, philosophy, and Thomas Aquinas's writings.
