Steve Weidenkopf, author of the book Epic, was Bill and Rich's second guest of the day. "The epic story of the Catholic Church spans thousands of years. With an unlikely beginning in a remote outpost of the Roman empire, the Catholic Church now claims over a billion living members. The persecutions, martyrdoms, conquests, and triumphs all came together to shape Western civilization as we know it today." That is an intro to the concept of the book from the Epic website.
