I was checking the podcasting programs that received the awards( yeah they are of course in japanese) and i was very fascinated by podcast preaching by Buddiest Preist. According to the judges at the contest, they found it very innovative and interesting. Do they also have podcast preaching by cathoric churches in america?lol
