This podcast is dedicated to all mothers – stepmothers, foster mothers, birth mothers, and the women who have a motherly role in your life. Armed with a microphone and a Hi-MD recorder, I went around the city of Rome today and surfed the blogosphere to find some kababayans and asked them to tell me something about their nanays.
The following are my guests for this Mother’s Day special edition podcast:
1. Sophia – whose mother was voted Mother of the Year in 1994. She recalled a painful experience about her mom
2. Jonathan – who grew up in the Philippines away from his mother, who worked in Italy. He has a good advice for children of migrant mothers
3. Sr. Gloria – who told her mother to jump from the motorcycle she was driving. If you were her mother would you give her a second chance?
4. Margiry – who, like many other children, was forced by her mother to join singing contests, beauty pageants, dance competitions, etc.
5. Lorenzo – an Italian. But you don’t need an interpreter to understand what he’d say
6. Fr. Fil – who described the tenderness of her mother as if he was describing the tenderness of God
7. John Clark – a Filipino based in the U.S. who sent me a voicemail tribute to her loving mother. If you cannot listen to my podcast, at least read his open letter to his mom

Gospel Acclamation of the Day: "The Lord said: I will not leave you orphans. I will come back to you, and your hearts will rejoice." (Jn 14:18)
your tribute for all mothers today is very touching…
there is only thing i would like to straighten up though…when you said a mother always think twice: a mother always think of her children first before herself at all times.
Hope you won’t forget to tell your mom today how much you love her.
Happy Mother’s Day to your mom, Stephen! You are a sweet son remembering always your mother.
ciao a-miga. thanks for ur feedback.
ciao bing. happy mother’s day to you. i’m sure you too are a sweet mother
Bobby,
You are doing well. I like your voice, the modulation, indeed a broadcast voice, and the way you approach your topic. You are clear and pleasant to listen to. The music is fitting and you showed you have made researches of the various topics you air. Keep it. I am proud of you.
Fr. Fil
another great podcast, congratulations!….. my experience with my mom and most of the mothers that I know and those that I have encountered, they always think about their children first in everything before themselves. happy mother’s day to your mom!
Hi. I’m Eric and I am one of the two hosts of the IdiotVox Podcast Review Podcast. Our show is, as the name suggests, a podcast review show. We try to do it everyday, and for the most part we do. Each show, we review three podcasts. IdiotVox is a podcast directory that our friend started. The focus of the site is on accurately determining quality, and so far we’ve just been kind of picking podcasts at random from the lists as part of that effort.
We’d like to start a queue for our podcast review show.
Would you be interested in having your podcast reviewed? There is no BS involved. We aren’t trying to get your money. Each IVPRP show is about ten minutes long, so we spend about three minutes on each podcast that we review and we include a clip of each reviewed show as well. We’re trying to do like a Siskel and Ebert thing, but for podcasts. Not all the reviews are positive, but when critical we try to be constructive in our criticism.
If you think you might be interested in participating, you can check out an example show at voxmonitor.com and if it seems like something you want to do, email me and I’ll put you down on the list. Soon, it will be automated, but for now, I’m keeping it by hand.
Thanks a lot and sorry for the form comment. If you want to communicate with me directly, you can email me at my regular email address mrstrauss@popgoeslethal.com or at my IdiotVox email address ericandcohry@idiotvox.com

Dear Fr. Stephen:
First time to hear a podcast. You’ve got a nice voice, well-modulated and very cool. Keep it up. Happy mother’s day to your mom and to all the moms in the world. I hope someday, in God’s perfect time, maging nanay na din ako. Please do pray for all women like me who longs to have a child. God bless.
