A new podcast, Don Bosco in a Year, was launched on January 1, 2025, to honor Don Bosco’s legacy and share his inspiring story with a global audience. Based on the book 365 Days with Don Bosco compiled by Fr Anthony Christy SDB, this unique project aims to bring his teachings to life in a fresh and accessible way. The podcast is available on Spotify and YouTube.

The series features 365 episodes, with one released daily throughout the year. Each episode is hosted by a different young person, offering their personal insights and reflections on Don Bosco’s life and mission. This approach makes the podcast engaging and relatable, especially for younger listeners.

The idea for this initiative comes from the bicentenary celebrations of Don Bosco’s first dream. It reflects the Salesian commitment to spreading his message across modern platforms, ensuring it reaches as many people as possible. By involving youth as hosts, the podcast highlights the continued relevance of Don Bosco’s work and his dream of empowering young people.

Listeners can look forward to a variety of stories and reflections that connect Don Bosco’s journey with today’s challenges and opportunities. This project is not just a tribute but also a way to keep his spirit alive, inspiring generations to follow his example.
