Episode 16: Thanksgiving Dinner with Dr. Peter Kwasniewski
Kyel and Matt sit down with the first guest to grace the Laymentality airwaves, Dr. Peter Kwasniewski! The three of them discuss the beauty of the Traditional Liturgy, and touch on some common misconceptions among Catholics and non-catholics alike. Kyel and Matt are so grateful to Dr. Kwasniewski for spending time with them, and hope you'll welcomes this potentially controversial topic with the same open arms you'll use at Thanksgiving dinner to greet your hard-headed Aunt Sally and prejudiced Uncle Bob.
Episode 15: You Are a Precious Snowflake
Kyel and Matt discuss a topic suggested by a fan (AKA Matt's dad): the uniqueness of every individual. The conversation wanders between Hellen Keller, Snowflakes, and PETA, and eventually draws out Kyel's country twang.

Episode 14: You're Not the Boss of Me
Kyel and Matt discuss the importance of being obedient to the authority of the Catholic Church, even with regards to issues we don't fully agree with.

Episode 13: I Understand Completely Not At All
Kyel and Matt discuss Pope Francis's propensity to make ambiguous statements that cause confusion among Catholics. Matt goes brain-dead when trying to say "the true presence of Jesus' body, blood, soul, and divinity in the Eucharist", Kyel brings up the one thing Matt specifically asked him not to bring up, and the most entertaining part of their conversation took place after they stopped recording...

Episode 12: If Todayeth Thou Heareth His Voiceth
Kyel and Matt talk about the subtle ways the Holy Spirit works in their lives, often unnoticed and unappreciated.
