In this special tangent and anniversary episode, Madeline celebrates by chatting again with her friend Ben Stapleton, an electrical engineer for a utility company, and new guest Fr. Gabriel Mosher, OP. During their conversation, the three discuss how each of the three came to the Suneater series by Christopher Ruocchio, Fr. Gabriel’s background, an overview of the first half of Empire of Silence (book 1 of the series), and the questions the book tackles.

You can catch up on Ben's previous episodes here and here.

Fr. Gabriel is the pastor of St. Catherine of Siena Newman Center, a Dominican friar of the Western Province, and a beta reader for the Suneater series. You can follow him on his Twitch here.
