Bio
Thomas V. Mirus is a podcaster and writer living in New York City. He is President of Trinity Communications and Director of Podcasts for CatholicCulture.org, as well as hosting the Catholic Culture Podcast and co-hosting Criteria: The Catholic Film Podcast.
Thomas takes the lead in CatholicCulture.org’s commentary on the arts, but also reads widely in many other areas. He brings a substantial breadth of understanding to his work at CatholicCulture.org, and he became President of Trinity Communications in 2023.
Thomas has a bachelor's degree in jazz piano and played music professionally for a number of years. He wrote and performed the theme music for the Catholic Culture Podcast (download the full soundtrack here). In 2019 he played piano on Mark Christopher Brandt's classical suite, The Butterfly.
Podcasting and Writing
The first episode of the Catholic Culture Podcast was the very first podcast released by CatholicCulture.org, on May 1, 2018. Since then, Thomas has released two to three episodes per month of this long-form podcast, mostly featuring thoughtful interviews with significant Catholic artists and writers around the world.
In both his writing and podcasting, Thomas explores a wide variety of topics, but he has a special interest in the nature of the creative process in the arts, and the engraced human expression of truth, beauty and goodness which finds its source and home in Catholicism. As a notable example, see his three-part series on The Mystery of Music.
