Podcast Host & Producer

Launched in 2016, Friar Side Chats is the Duke Catholic Center’s podcast.

For each of the 68 episodes, I have served as host and developer, planning all content, inviting special guests, establishing key talking points, producing the episodes in Adobe Audition, and marketing each episode.

Sample Episodes

#42 | Spiritual Strategy

What might happen if we applied strategic goal-setting in our spiritual lives?

#51 | Awkward Silence

Cultivating a practice of silence and stillness is a marathon, not a sprint.

#62 | Everything Happens for a Reason?

Empty platitudes, finding meaning in suffering, and embracing grace.

Video Management

In my current position as Director of Communication, I oversee all video projects.

From live-streaming to professionally produced products to casual video projects, I’ve been there for them all.

While I can put together more lowkey video projects myself, I have more experience working with professional videographers to find the stories we want to tell, to scout the best locations to film, and to approve a final cut that’s going to make an impact.

Sample Videos

Are Small Groups for You?

We crafted a video pitch for our primary strategic initiative.

An Early-Pandemic Message

A lowkey, personal message from Fr. Mike to Duke students.

A Fr. Mike Blooper

I love to use a good blooper to create a human connection.
