Talks and conferences

Fradd speaks at conferences to young adults about the dangers of pornography. He was a keynote speaker at the 2015, 2019, and 2024 SEEK conferences. [5] [6] [7]

Pints with Aquinas

On March 29, 2016, Fradd launched a podcast, Pints with Aquinas, a Catholic long-form discussion podcast based on the writings of Thomas Aquinas. [8] [9]

Gregory Pine, O.P., a Dominican friar, first appeared on Pints with Aquinas on June 5, 2018. He now creates 15–20-minute, frequently released bonus episodes on Fradd's podcast. Fradd has hosted many influential people in the Catholic Church, including Mike Schmitz, Jason Evert, Donald Calloway, Jimmy Akin, and Scott Hahn.

Pints with Aquinas ranked No. 16 in the United States in the Religion & Spirituality category and No. 25 in Christianity. [10]

On October 28, 2025, Fradd and The Daily Wire announced that both he and his podcast, Pints with Aquinas, will be joining The Daily Wire in 2026. [11]

Love People Use Things

On December 6, 2017, Fradd started co-hosting a podcast called Love People Use Things with Noah Church, an atheist. [12] The podcast's central message was to fight the dangers of pornography. The show ended in late 2019 after releasing episode 49.

The Matt Fradd Show

In 2018, Fradd released The Matt Fradd Show, a Catholic long-form discussion podcast. The following year, he turned Pints with Aquinas into more of a long-form discussion podcast rather than a show about theology, philosophy, and Thomas Aquinas's writings.
