NCR senior correspondent Heidi Schlumpf is part of the new season of "The Francis Effect" podcast, joining co-hosts Franciscan Fr. Daniel Horan (columnist for NCR) and David Dault, executive producer and host of "Things Not Seen: Conversations About Culture and Faith."

The 2024 election cycle has begun, and Father Daniel, Heidi and David discuss what the Iowa caucus can tell us about next November. Then we discuss the implications of the recent document on blessing same-sex couples, and Heidi interviews political scientist and friend of the show Steven P. Millies.
