AmP shout-out to Jimmy Akin and Hugh Hewitt at GodBlogCon

Hugh Hewitt is broadcasting from this year's GodBlogCon. When interviewing Jimmy Akin, Jimmy was kind enough to mention American Papist as one his favorite young Catholic bloggers.

You can listen to the show here (Jimmy Akin's shout-out happens at the 17 minute mark). Update: "There are three parts to the Hugh Hewitt show... If you want to hear the clip where Jimmy Akin mentions the blog you need to click on God Blog Con Part 3 - MRyan"

Since the Hugh Hewitt airtime focused (as most first-time visitors to AmP normally do) on the Cardinal up there in my banner doing those "cool hip moves" on the balcony of St. Peter's, I thought everyone would like to know that the grooving prelate is Franciszek Cardinal Macharski, Archbishop-emeritus of Krakow, Poland. The Cardinal, apparently, has a tendency of hamming it up for the cameras and that day he was in fine form.

Oh yeah, and I also post news and commentary sometimes. :-)

Anyway, thanks for the mention, Jimmy! Rock on, papist dude!
