The Patrick Madrid Show: April 28, 2026 – Hour 1

Patrick opens the show with listener questions about Catholic godparent requirements, moving briskly from canon law details to the deeper commitment such roles demand and voicing concerns about mixing faith traditions. Wedding memories surface as he talks about personal choices and statistics on marriage costs and divorce, suggesting that less spending might actually safeguard happiness. Patrick transforms angry listener emails into punk-inspired songs and wraps with practical reflections on pets, blessings, family, and Church teaching, creating a lively blend of humor and insight.
