NCR executive editor Heidi Schlumpf is part of Season 8 of "The Francis Effect" podcast, joining co-hosts Franciscan Fr. Daniel Horan (columnist for NCR's "Faith Seeking Understanding"), and David Dault, executive producer and host of "Things Not Seen: Conversations about Culture and Faith."

In this week's episode, Heidi, Father Daniel and David look at the effects of a recent Georgia law on voting procedures. They also discuss the first week of the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin and imagine what the Catholic Church might look like after COVID-19.
