As a follow-up to 4 Traditional Catholic Radio Stations, I wanted to assemble a list of 7 Traditional Catholic-themed podcasts. Podcasts have been increasingly popular as a way to consume content. Spotify, one of the largest music platforms, has a significant number of podcast listeners as Statista writes, "At the end of Q1 2021, Spotify had 2.6 million (!) podcasts on its platform as roughly 25 percent of its 356 million monthly active engaged with podcast content."
With the rise of the popularity of podcasts, it is natural that the Faith should be made available through new mediums. All too often, traditionalists have a tendency to shun new technology, with some priests and faithful still scorning the Internet and email despite their ubiquitousness and usefulness in spreading the Faith. Thankfully, there are Traditional Catholics engaging with souls today via podcasts.
In no particular order, here are 7 Traditional Catholic Podcasts to listen to:
Added in March 2023: A Catholic Life seeks the preservation of authentic traditional Catholicism, as practiced before the Second Vatican Council. The focus of this podcast will be directed toward the Traditional Catholic Mass, Traditional Fasting and Abstinence, the Breviary, Prayers and Devotions, and Unwaveringly Traditional Catholic Catechesis. Episodes will typically be released each Sunday and be available on Spotify, Apple Music, and elsewhere.
This regularly updated channel features excellent commentary on the crisis in the Church, the praying of the Rosary, Faith formation talks by priests, and all-around great content.
The SSPX Podcast features interviews, conferences, and sermons delivered by SSPX priests, and gathered from various English-speaking sources. Many talks center around the crisis in the Church and clarity on the Church's official and timeless teachings.
The long-running YouTube program "What Catholics Believe" is now in podcast format. Listen to the priests of the Society of St. Pius V teach and discuss the disasters of Vatican Council II, the crisis in the modern Church, and the traditional teachings of the Catholic faith.
The Meaning of Catholic is a lay apostolate dedicated to uniting Catholics against the enemies of the Holy Catholic Church. The founder is the now current editor of One Peter Five
A former Episcopalian "priest" turned traditional FSSP-going Catholic who regularly engages in writing and talks to spread and defend the Faith, his clarity and concern for the Faith are palpable.
St. Gertrude the Great Sermons
Sermons from the independent chapel in West Chester Ohio, whose sermons are profoundly insightful and connected to the traditional liturgical year.
Covering the crisis in the Catholic Church and its connection to the ongoing degradation of society, Return to Tradition dives into the news and history of the Church.
There are even more quality traditional Catholic podcasts out there. For more podcasts beyond the 7 already mentioned, please share your recommendations in the comments box below.

Catholic History Trek - based out of the Maria Stein, OH area
I recommend Catholic History Trek. A podcast local to me, the land of the cross tipped churches in western Ohio.
TradMen is worth the listen. Interesting traditional guests, and the hosts are both humble and humorous. Plus they are willing to share their own faults and how they work on them, which leaves me feeling like it’s okay not to be perfect. They remind us we are all works in progress, striving to be saintly and secure in God’s grace as we do. Or, at least, that’s how they make me feel.
I agree about Catholic History Trek. Very good. Not afraid to offend the modernist Church when presenting history.
Their episode on the history of how Catholics have received the Holy Eucharist is worth a listen.
I agree with you guys on the Catholic History Trek podcast.
Some interesting topics usually not considered, and unafraid to highlight the differences between historical Catholicism & modernism.
