Big News: Pints With Aquinas Is Joining The Daily Wire In 2026

Beginning January 2026, Pints With Aquinas is partnering with The Daily Wire.

We’ll kick off our 1oth year with a bigger studio, a stronger team, and, God willing, an even wider reach for preaching Jesus Christ and inviting people to join the Church he founded (hint: The Catholic Church). You will see a special Christmas episode in December, then weekly shows begin in the new year.

Earlier this year, while my family and I were in Austria, with a little time in Croatia, I seriously considered stepping back from running the show.

I love the conversations, and I love meeting people whose lives have been changed by the podcast. What wore me out was everything around it, production, logistics, thumbnails, flights, the business of it all. When I sat down with Daily Wire CEO Caleb Robinson, I told him exactly that. I wasn’t trying to sell anything. I said, “If I do this, it must stay a fully Catholic show, and I need help with the parts I am not great at.”

His response: “Keep doing exactly what you are doing, we will build the infrastructure around you.”

So, here’s what this partnership means, and what it doesn’t mean:

1. Full editorial control. I choose the guests and the topics. Our mission stays the same, to preach Christ and invite people into the one, holy, Catholic and apostolic Church.
2. No paywall. If you are a casual viewer, nothing changes except you will get more Pints, same channel, better studio, higher output.
3. More episodes, better reach. With a world-class team handling operations, I can focus on conversations that matter, and release more content each week.
4. A Catholic team around the show. Melanie Pritchard, who has been with Pints since the basement days, is coming onboard, and we are adding faithful, prayerful professionals who are committed to the mission.

I’m excited, because the Lord seems to be opening a door I did not know how to walk through on my own. Over the years, I have seen how far this little show can travel. I have met listeners from Guatemala to Croatia, from airport kiosks to Lego stores, sharing how Pints helped them encounter Christ. Partnering with The Daily Wire lets us put holy gasoline on that fire, without diluting the faith.

If you’re cautious, I get it. If one of my favorite Catholic creators joined a big company, I would ask the same questions you’re asking. So let me earn your trust. Watch the next season. You will see the same show, just louder, clearer, and reaching more souls.

Two final requests.

First, please pray for me, that I never become a stumbling block, that I stay faithful to Christ, and that every conversation glorifies God. If you are willing, please offer a Rosary for this intention, and let me know, so I can be encouraged.

Second, invite someone who is Catholic curious to tune in when we launch in January. Ten years ago this began with a microphone in a basement.

By God’s grace, and through your prayers, we are just getting started.
