A Dram With Joseph Pearce

Joseph Pearce Author, Professor and Convert Understanding Joseph to be an Islay guy, Sean pours out the usual friendly measure of a dram of Laphroaig Quarter Cask.  Joseph, joining us from 20 miles south of Greenville South Carolina, has already come prepared with a dram of his favourite, Lagavulin 16 year old whisky; not as smoky as the Laphroaig, both light on the nose. But when you taste it, it’s a different matter.  https://jpearce.co/ Come and have yourself a seat in the pub as Sean pours us a drink.  Close your eyes and you’ll swear you’re in England as you hear this former agnostic and supremacist speak of delights of a good Scotch, his conversion, his play and how in it we see not only the conversion of Siegfried Sassoon to Catholicism but of Death itself.  Find out what both he and J.R.R. Tolkien have in common. Hear what he dares to say to his 18 year old self, knowing full well that this imposing man would not even listen to himself, what he has to say about love.   And before he answers the question, guess what you think is his favourite Saint. #GodSquad #Josephpearce #Catholicwhisky
