The Catholic Church vs The United States The Podcast From Brendon Patrick Hughes Devine Intervention

Arroe Collins: Unplugged & Totally Uncut

Wonder Media Network - an award winning female-founded, audio-first creative podcast studio - and iHeartPodcasts, the No.1 podcast publisher globally according to Podtrac, have launched "Divine Intervention," a 10-episode narrative podcast, fifteen years in the making. Host Brendan Patrick Hughes delves into one of the most tumultuous periods in the history of the Catholic Church, the United States and the personal lives of ten revolutionaries. Fifty years ago, a ragtag band of radical nuns in combat boots, wild-haired priests and their madcap friends swiftly became accomplished cat burglars in a hellbent effort to sabotage a war. They did everything they could to destroy the war machine - they scaled walls, picked locks, hid in broom closets and broke into federal draft boards, stealing the files of the young men about to be sent into combat. They napalmed these files in city squares. They shredded them at press conferences, harbored draft fugitives in church sanctuaries, and traded blows with J. Edgar Hoover's FBI. Many went to jail, others betrayed their friends, and some fell in love. "Working on this project for so many years meant that I was able to capture a lot of important voices that have since left us, like Howard Zinn," said Hughes. "This has been a decades-long labor of love about the people I grew up with - outlandish and fiercely political Boston Irish Catholics out to save the world."
