A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I am so grateful to have discovered your Podcast because I am learning so much. I first heard you on Relevant Radio and was able to get your book about the Rosary which was so inciteful on the Audible app and follow you everywhere now because of the knowledge you provide... Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Dr. Sri. God Bless

Phadmirer · Apr 2025

Dr. Sri, thank you so very much for your podcast!! Because of you and other Ascension podcasts and Fr. Carlos Martins, after 45+ years away from the Catholic faith & Church, I have seen a priest to make my confession and returned to mass and partook of the Eucharist last Sunday. I’m praying daily and praying the rosary. I’m still learning because things have changed in the mass so much, but that’s a small thing. I’m learning so much from your podcasts-I guess I didn’t listen much before! Take care!

I finally caved last fall and started listening to one or two podcasts. I quickly searched for more and found Dr Sri’s. I had heard other pieces of his previously so I knew it would be enjoyable to the ears. Right I was!! And being the type of person I am, I had to listen from the beginning. So many of the early episodes have had no designation of time and the topics felt very relatable today. I have not listened to current episodes yet, but can’t wait to get there!!

I feel very blessed to have encountered you,Dr Sri. I had listened to you before on EWTN and wanted very much to attend a live conference. To my amazement I heard you would be speaking at our Diocesan Conference in March of this year and I ran to sign up. Your talks were so inspiring and moving and eye opening that I almost felt a shock to my soul. I actually shed tears during the talks because they just spoke to me. It made me stop in my tracks and reflect on my life. I immediately signed up for your podcasts and I actually anxiously await for every podcast weekly. They are only about 20 min long which is perfect to make time to listen. I usually listen to the each podcast twice during the week to just absorb and ponder. I share them with my kids, family and coworkers. I am a cradle Catholic and have attended many conferences but I feel I really connected with you and your talks. You explain everything so well, its significance, its history or roots and you give so many examples that apply to our everyday life and situations as if it was meant for me alone. You speak so clear and simple to where anyone can understand especially when explaining about the Bible. Your talks have helped me reflect on my life, my prayer life and spiritual life. Your knowledge of the Bible and love for our Lord, our Blessed Mother and the Holy Eucharist shines through. I honestly experience Holy Mass through a whole different level thanks to you and I long to go to daily Mass when I am able to. I can say with certainty that I am working and praying hard to to change some aspects of my life that I thought I was doing okay but now realize I need to grow and change in order to deepen my relationship with God and to live according His Holy Will on a daily basis. To pick up my cross and follow Him. Thank you Dr Sri for your knowledge, wisdom and love for our Lord. I have purchased several of your books and look forward to start reading them. May God richly bless you and fill you with many graces so that you can continue with your ministry inspiring, motivating and changing lives 🙏🙏
