I like podcasts for a simple reason: I don’t have enough time to do as much reading as I’d like, and podcasts are a great way to absorb information while I’m driving, on the lawnmower, going for a walk, or cleaning around the house. I don’t have a favourite podcast, but I tune in to Ben Shapiro whenever I want a rapid-fire update on U.S. politics, and I’ll listen to pretty much any podcast hosting Douglas Murray, Peter Hitchens, Ross Douthat, and a wide range of other intelligent commentators.

provide in-depth analysis of leading pro-abortion arguments and show how to navigate them,
interview pro-life experts and heroes to hear their stories and learn from the work they have been doing to protect and defend pre-born children from abortion,
share stories of the thousands of conversations we’ve had while talking to people on the streets, and
