Dappled Things: The Quarterly of Ideas,
Art, and Faith is celebrating its 20th anniversary.
In its 20 years it has contributed to the beginning of a Catholic
literary revival, nurturing the talents of many Catholic writers
and visual artists. In recent years especially, many exciting new
initiatives, presses, and magazines have branched off from
Dappled Things. Bernardo Aparicio Garcia (founder and
publisher) and Rhonda Ortiz (editor-in-chief) join the podcast to
discuss Dappled Things’s mission and various topics to do
with Catholic fiction.
