  <description>Chris Bartlett is our guest cohost and he talks with Taylor about an event they both get fired from lol. Chris also brings a new game where he gives Taylor marvel heroes and asks how they would use their talents to benefit the Church. It's a blast! 
Will Hickl joins the show to share about his Catholic record label Novum Records and to share some of their Christmas album. As this is our Thanksgiving episode, we know many people start decorating for Christmas sometime this week, including listening to Christmas music so we have a great selection of Advent/Christmas songs to help you prepare the way for Jesus over the next month.
Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Forte Catholic!

  <description>This is hands down the most I have laughed in recording a show all year! It is almost Christmas and this episode is truly a holiday treat! 
With no guest today, it was just the normal crew in the studio playing games like Advent Bingo and guessing Taylor's favorite Christmas carols and hymns. We laughed the whole time and hope you will laugh along with us as you listen and play the games as you listen. Special holiday gifts for those who beat us at the games! Test your knowledge and see if you are smarter than the Forte Catholic crew(probably not all that difficult.)
In the final segment, we hear the Christmas story from the mouths of babes. Hilarious but also sparks some final thoughts from Taylor on how to prepare and engage in this Advent/Christmas season.
