The Catholic Marketing Newtork Tradeshow is THE annual event to be at if you want to see the latest in Catholic products or to meet authors and learn about their books. This July 3 through August 3, Breadbox Media was in attendance with a booth. Throughout the event I was able to interview on-site a number of Catholic authors. Those interviews became Episodes 084 and 085 of Off the Shelf. Full content of each show is listed below.

And that bear in the booth? When Father Andrew Apostoli was in a nursing home prior to his death in 2017 that 9-foot bear would sit in the lobby. His caretaker, Brother Simon, would bring Father Andrew down to the lobby and he would meet his visitors in front of that bear. Brother Simon took many pictures of Father Andrew with his guests and the bear. At the CMN show Brother Simon asked if Andrew bear could be a guest at the Breadbox Media booth and we readily agreed.
