I'm Maria Johnson, producer and host of Reasonably Catholic: Keeping the Faith, which airs every first, third and fifth Tuesday, from 4 to right before the Jive at Five. I just finished interviewing Richard Alleva, film critic for the Catholic journal Commonweal, about where he finds spiritual content in this year's batch of Oscar nominees for Best Picture. It was an invigorating conversation you won't want to miss when it airs a week from tomorrow, Feb. 21st. You can find previous episodes of the program at reasonablycatholic.com.
