History
The podcast page states that Everyday Monks launched two years ago.[5] In the available episode archive, the earliest readily visible episode on the feed is “Why? The Church,” published July 25, 2024, which presents the program as “a podcast series exploring why Christians believe, worship, & practice the way they do.”[6]
By 2026, the feed shows the program continuing with new episodes on the prayer book, the Christian year, and Anglican spirituality, including “The Conversion of St. Paul,” “Angels: In the Book of Common Prayer (1928),” and “Catching Up & Looking Back.”[7]
People
The Substack’s “People” section identifies The Rev. Michael D. Vinson as the central voice of the podcast, alongside Marq Toombs+ and Mark Howell. The page also presents the show as a community for people who share its interests, reinforcing its parish and collaborative character.
Format
Everyday Monks is published on Substack, where each post presents an episode and provides links for listening through Substack, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube Music, YouTube, Pocket Casts, and RSS.[8] The podcast is presented as a conversational parish project rather than a studio commentary show, with episodes centered on church teaching, liturgy, and Christian formation.
