A Tale of Two Converts - Real Audio and Evangelical


I love the conversion stories on The Journey Home, but the problem is you can only download the podcasts of the programs the week the shows airs. After that, if you want to hear older programs, you have to go to the EWTN archive and listen from there via Real Audio.

Until now!

Truthfully, maybe this program has been available for a long time, but I only just heard about it. It’s called Switch. It converts audio files in .wma, .wav or RealAudio format to MP3. It’s free and extremely easy to use.

If you’d like to try it out right away, I recommend listening to the latest Journey Home testimony. It’s really awe-inspiring. The story it chronicles is astonishingly different from the usual conversion tales we’ve heard, which tend to involve a lot of research and study and overall geekiness (guilty as charged!). The couple profiled on the show are obviously quite intelligent, but they’re also a little, how can I put this nicely? uh, nutty!…along the lines of one of our most lovable nuts, Saint Francis. You’ll just have to listen to see what I’m talking about.

Richard and Danielle Borgman have never seen The Journey Home, and I haven’t the foggiest idea where Marcus Grodi even found them. They’ve been hopping around the four corners of the earth serving as missionaries. Hurry on over to EWTN, download the file, listen on your computer or convert it to mp3, put it on your portable player and go take a walk for an hour before it gets too cold outside, or burn it to a CD and be blessed on your commute to work. Our God will amaze you with the tricks He’s got up his very long sleeves!

    I caught it on Monday night when it aired - I try to watch it online…

    I did catch these two and they are a great benign sort of crazy - like Saint Francis!

    The only thing that they only casually mentioned in passing was the hardship the missionary life has on families. Indeed for Catholics in the wider discussion of celibacy freedom from such attachments must be a blessing they can appreciate.
