🎤 In this episode of The Living Room, Liv Harrison sits down with actress, writer, and producer Siobhan Fallon Hogan for a hilarious, heartfelt, and totally unfiltered conversation about being Catholic in Hollywood for over 30 years. She tells incredible stories about going to Sunday night Mass with Chris Farley after SNL, how the Hallow app helped Catholics finally "shout it out," and why she thinks the culture is shifting.

Siobhan opens up writing her way into Hollywood with a one-woman show when nobody would cast her, restarting her parish Bible camp after Uvalde because "the kids thirst for faith," and how her new EWTN+ podcast Catholics and Cappuccinos was born at the Napa Catholic arts gathering. If you've ever wondered what it looks like to be loud, funny, faithful, and totally yourself in an industry that doesn't always make that easy, this conversation is for you.
