  SPEAKER_01: We pray that she lays our humble work at the feet of her son and that his will be done.
• 0:11
  SPEAKER_01: And so Regina is hearkening to Mary, the mother of God.
• 0:16
  SPEAKER_01: Under her mantle, under her protection, we lay all our work at her feet.

  SPEAKER_02: Thank you.
• 0:58
  SPEAKER_02: Thanks for having me on.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_02: No problem.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_02: We thought we'd start with the word, Natalie, because people are very used to Catholic unscripted, and everyone's very clear on what Catholic means.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_02: Regina may be an unfamiliar term to some, especially our non-Catholic or Protestant friends who watch what we do.
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_02: Can you just tell us what Regina means?
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_01: Regina, I guess, is the Latin for queen.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_01: And so we really do dedicate our work to the queen of heaven, Mary, the mother of God.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_01: And actually, I have our Regina magazine right here.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_01: This is our latest.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_01: And I actually want to read to our viewers at the very bottom of every magazine.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_01: These are our beautifully produced magazines.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_01: This one on Catholic art and architecture.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_01: At the very bottom, we write, Regina magazine is under the patronage of Our Lady, Mary Most Holy.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_01: We pray that she lays our humble work at the feet of her son and that his will be done.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_01: And so Regina is hearkening to Mary, the mother of God, um, and uh under her mantle, under her protection, um, we lay all our work at her feet.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_01: And so that's where where we have the name Regina.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_02: That's beautiful.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_02: And you've mentioned the magazine there and shown us, and hopefully people can see quite how beautiful it is.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_02: And that's really the the tagline, isn't it, of the work Regina does intelligent, inspiring, and beautiful.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, yes.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_01: So we really um this really started initially as uh a journal of Catholic beauty and tradition.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_01: And the magazines are all online and they're they're stunning, you know.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_01: Um there they're there there, you two are uh announcing you there.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but you know, we've got we advertise Catholic um businesses, and uh we just it really is a beautiful work.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_01: These magazines have been uh produced since 2013, and um we've now switched over to actually a lot of them were published online.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_01: Now we we actually print them, um, but that has been the main work of Regina.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_01: Um so uh yeah, the magazines really um grew in popularity, they were well known um up until about COVID, and then things, you know, COVID really did affect the the organization quite dramatically, and we've had uh a resurrection of the organization in the past few years, since about 2021.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_01: And um, so now uh we're very excited um to be launching our podcast.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_01: But I'll I'll leave I'll leave that for you, Catherine and Mark, to discuss.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_02: Well, perhaps before we get on to the podcast, because that's really uh what we want to talk about for our viewers, especially who are used to seeing us as Catholic unscripted, we know the magazine, um, but also this trips.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_02: Can you tell us a little bit about the Regina trips?
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_02: And you you you showed you showed our faces there in the magazine.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_02: So after you've told us a bit about the trips, Mark can say about this exciting launch of your podcast wing, which we are hosting.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_02: So um, yeah, tell us about these trips.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_01: So the trips actually started um around 2022, where um actually no, I take that back.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_01: They they go quite quite uh a little ways back before COVID, and they started out as singles trips.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and our founder uh really was she has a heart for young people.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_01: She uh was taking young people to um uh overseas, Ireland, France, uh, Rome, um, Italy, and taking them on these fantastic trips that were rather unscripted uh in and of themselves in terms of, you know, they weren't staying, it wasn't a four-star sort of um coach style trip.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_01: It was uh a little bit more rustic, um, a little bit more um free-spirited, but but perfect for that age group for the 20 somethings and the 30 somethings.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_01: And out of those trips came nine marriages.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and um, if we had some video footage or some pictures, it would be great to show you, you know, some of these families.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_01: We actually might um our next magazine is going to be on pilgrimage and we'll probably feature some of these these trips and and some of the um people who actually met and married and now have beautiful, thriving families on these trips.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_01: So we've continued with that, and we take um people to the shark pilgrimage annually.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_01: So we've been doing that now for three, four years.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_01: We we host two chapters.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_01: We host um an adult chapter and a family chapter to the Shark Pilgrimage, so that runs every year at Pentecost, and then following that, we always have a retreat.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_01: So we're taking um people on retreat and um uh to some of the beautiful monasteries of France.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_01: These are traditional monasteries, and they um, you know, you have Benedictine monks on the one hand.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_01: We often go to Fangombo and we have um noisy, which is um beautiful nuns from uh the order of the Institute of Christ the King.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_01: And we have time following the um hectic pace of the Sharp pilgrimage to relax and recuperate and to bandage up our blisters and um, you know, spend some time uh in quiet and prayer alongside a little bit of touring.
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_01: So we'll take people to Versailles, the Louvre.
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_01: Um, we go, we see the town of uh Tours.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_01: We spent a day in Poitiers this um past uh June.
• 7:20
  SPEAKER_01: And um, so really uh these trips have been wonderful.
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and we're expanding that arm as well.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_01: So um for young people hoping for more singles trips, we are going to be running those in February uh of 2027, hopefully one to St.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_01: Augustine and uh in uh Florida.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_01: Um so we'll start with some local and then we'll start um uh building out the European singles as well as other trips.
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_01: Um so we're very, very excited about that, Arm.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_02: Brilliant.
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_02: And now, Mark, we're on to the podcast.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so uh basically we're a group, we we're a group of friends, aren't we, Natalie?
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_00: We knew we knew you for some for a number of years we've been in touch and with a a group of friends in America, and I suppose well that so the story goes that the board of Regina had this brainwave that they wanted um a podcast, that they want that they, you know, to sort of help spread the message.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_00: And obviously, we were involved in the Regina project in terms of you know, in awe of the this beautiful magazine and um the amazing work of the trips, especially like the the marriages, and I've known um some of the young people who've actually got married before they got married and you know sort of um maintain those relationships afterwards.
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_00: So that's really exciting.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_00: And one of the amazing things about the trips for me was um when I first met the Regina crew, if you like, finding out that they'd been to places uh that are really sort of part of my life story.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_00: So, for example, there was it was incredible to find out that they'd climbed Crypatrick and said mass in the little chapel on top, which is a you know sort of very specific place because that's for me, because that's where my family literally live at the bottom of of the mountain there.
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_00: So um that was an amazing thing.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and then you know, there was this idea that uh it would be really good if they had a podcast, and then it you know, it was suggested that there would be a a collaboration with our pre-existing podcast, um, and we had some conversations, and it seemed to be a perfect fit, really, because um it would help us to do to broaden what we are able to produce for our viewers in terms of um trip, you know, like going on trips and showing people, um showing our viewers these amazing holy Catholic sites and how the culture and society of Europe has grown up around the faith, um, but and also facilitating some of those conversations that we have across the pond with um Catholic voices in the US.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_00: So it's it's a perfect mix in lots of ways, isn't it?
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_00: And you know, it's going to expand the work that Catherine and I can do um and obviously offer our subscribers the opportunity to um have be part like to enjoy this magazine, but also to be part of the trips and stuff like that as well.
• 10:28
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I know I uh speaking on behalf of Regina, really it's so exciting to have the two of you, Mark and Catherine, as sane voices um in a world where there's just a lot of noise and a lot of confusion.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_01: And I think we very aptly chose our little tagline there, um, more light than heat, because really nowadays there is a lot of heat and to try and tone down um the narrative and to try and bring a lot of sanity and to and and charity back into the conversation.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_01: And I really we're really excited to to have you two on board.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I think it's going to really do wonders in terms of um furthering the message of Regina, um, but also keeping what you have done together.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_01: The it's sort of we're it's a meeting of minds.
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_01: And I think it's really lovely that we're meeting from you know America and the UK.
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_01: So we're we're sort of across the pond, um, but with so many similarities and and a heart for the church and a love for God that that we bring to this.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_01: So um it really is uh such a wonderful opportunity, and I'm I'm sure you know our various uh constituents will um benefit greatly, I think, from this sort of um uh uh a meeting of minds and a union that we've created here.
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_01: So it's very exciting.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_00: That's almost the most exciting part for me because I think Catherine and I had felt that we like that the project had become a bit sterilized, especially through the Substack, you know, like we were talked into going onto Substack um away from our website, which we were, you know, maintaining ourselves, or Catherine was mainly doing it on a like she'd taught herself how to do it, and she was running the website, and it was a you know an awful lot of work, and we were talked into doing this sort of Substack thing, and we found it didn't really work for us.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_00: You know, it's it's Substack is a medium that's trying to sell other um, you know, it's got it's bombarding you with sort of different offers of of other writers and it lost it loses that personal touch, and also it's like hard to log in.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_00: Our subscribers were finding it difficult to log in.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_00: But the most important thing I think that we're missing is the fact that we haven't had that community outreach that we haven't been able to meet up with our subscribers, you know, with the people who are engaged with the work that we're doing.
• 13:11
  SPEAKER_00: And this is going to change massively with our Regina collaboration, isn't it?
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, no, it's it's very exciting.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_01: And I really think it's going to amplify what you do.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and I think that's so important.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_01: Um, we have um just in terms of the membership, we have different layers of membership now.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_01: So we sort of have the um what we kind of uh humorously have coined the ordinary form and the extraordinary form of membership.
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_01: And so it's going to allow people to choose to have further engagement with you and with Regina.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_01: So it's going to really open things up in terms of not only are they going to be able to have your content, but also opportunities to meet.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_01: Um, one of the things that we do, uh Regina has been doing, is uh bringing people together in person, not only through our trips, but through an annual conference.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_01: It's a day-long conference, but it's not just open to the public.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_01: We really um want to make this for Regina extraordinary form members.
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_01: So that's our other level of membership, and also our supporters circle.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_01: So we have these, you know, varying ways that people can now engage.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_01: And I think that really offers a lot.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_01: And I don't think you were able to do that on Substack.
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_01: Um, so you know, we've we've added uh we've added quite a lot to uh to the value that you are already bringing um to your people.
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_01: And we're just uh we're so excited to to be launching this.
• 14:55
  SPEAKER_00: Um we had a kind of a trial run, didn't we, in January, like it, you know, where we had a conference and some people were invited, some sort of guests were invited, and they were blown away by the experience.
• 15:08
  SPEAKER_00: And that's one of the things that's encouraged us to sort of open this up and offer it, isn't it?
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 15:14
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you know, people really want to have.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_01: I I think people are starving for community.
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_01: They they're starving for truth and beauty, which is which is what we try to bring to them through um these various mediums, the magazine, the trips, but they're also starving for community.
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_01: And I think that's something very unique that Regina is going to be bringing, and now even more so with the podcast is actual authentic community where people can feel like they belong.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_01: You know, this is their people.
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_01: And if they if they want to do that online with you, if they want to do that in person.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but I think the the exciting part of what we're doing with Regina is is creating community.
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_01: And uh I I just think that's so unique and um so needed in today's world where people are so much more isolated.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_01: I was seeing something just recently um across my desk where households, it used to be that you would have four or five people in a household.
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_01: Nowadays it's the households are shrinking in the West, where more and more people are living alone or with one other person, um, but but are really starving for community.
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_01: And as we know, none of us are you know meant to to do this alone.
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_01: You know, this this this journey um needs to be done in community with others.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_01: And I think that's what we we are we are going to be providing.
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_02: And so for your magazine audience, this is a win.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_02: They have the magazine still that they love, but we now off a podcast.
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_02: And for our faithful Catholic unscripted audience, it's a win because you have everything you already had, and now you have the magazine, the trips, and the the opportunity to be part of this community.
• 17:06
  SPEAKER_02: And for our UK viewers watching, thinking they're talking about trips and they're with an American company.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_02: Will this all be uh in America?
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_02: It won't be.
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_02: You've already mentioned France and Italy and Spain, but you're also planning on um hosting events here in the UK, in England, and and of course in the US, but not exclusively in the US.
• 17:28
  SPEAKER_02: So do we can reassure you if you're watching thinking, will I get to join in?
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, you will.
• 17:36
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 17:36
  SPEAKER_01: So um, yeah, I really we're very blessed to have the two of you.
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I think you're um well loved by by much of our community already and well known.
• 17:49
  SPEAKER_01: Um, so uh yeah, we're just very excited to get this rolling.
• 17:55
  SPEAKER_00: And I I very much feel like we can get our subscribers, you know, the people who have supported us and who have, you know, we really appreciate and value, they can now become a real part of this community as well.
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_00: And as you were saying, find their tribe, really, can't they?
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
• 18:12
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
• 18:13
  SPEAKER_01: It's it's uh it's one of the things that um I think people we're we're seeing.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_01: I've been hearing, and I'll share this with you.
• 18:23
  SPEAKER_01: My husband was at the um the recent Sheen Beatification in St.
• 18:30
  SPEAKER_01: Louis in the US, and he came back just blown away by the um this what what feels like we're we're we feel like we're on the cusp of a a huge kind of tsunami of conversions.
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_01: And um I I do see that there's there's evidence of it all around.
• 18:54
  SPEAKER_01: And he came back just blown away by this conference and the initiatives of lay people, the number of things that are happening in the United States and in Europe um through the laity.
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_01: And um, this is this is just, you know, I'm I feel very blessed actually to be a part of this because I feel like we're part of this wave.
• 19:17
  SPEAKER_01: Um, we're going to be um on that cusp, rolling out with with these people.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_01: We teach, um, my husband and I teach what's called OCIA.
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_01: It's a rite of Christian initiation.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_01: And our classes are are are booming now.
• 19:34
  SPEAKER_01: You know, we've gone from two to three people to eight people.
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_01: This year we have over 20 people in our classrooms.
• 19:41
  SPEAKER_01: And this is a phenomenon that we're seeing uh all across America.
• 19:46
  SPEAKER_01: And I and I'm assuming it, you know, I'm seeing it in Europe uh from what I hear.
• 19:51
  SPEAKER_01: So it's a very exciting time, and I think there'll be many blessings um for for the church and for people who get involved.
• 20:01
  SPEAKER_01: And um I just think we're it's it's uh it's wonderful and to be able to to spread this out to um all of our supporters.
• 20:11
  SPEAKER_01: Um uh we just really welcome them to to you know uh open themselves up.
• 20:18
  SPEAKER_01: And and if you don't know Mark and Catherine, um trust me, they're wonderful people.
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_01: We we drove all around Tampa together and went to McDonald's.
• 20:28
  SPEAKER_02: Um, don't say that bit, Natalie.
• 20:31
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, well, it's the quintose actual American experience, right?
• 20:36
  SPEAKER_02: And our children have become friends.
• 20:37
  SPEAKER_02: It really is, it's it's just it is, as you say, a blessing.
• 20:41
  SPEAKER_02: Um, we've said this is great for people to find their communities.
• 20:45
  SPEAKER_02: Practically speaking, Natalie, how do they do that?
• 20:47
