The Bible in a Year is an American podcast hosted by Fr. Mike Schmitz, a Catholic priest based in Duluth, Minnesota.[1]

About

The podcast was created and recorded daily throughout 2021. Each of the 365 episodes discussed different aspects of the Bible and faith.[2] The podcast follows a reading plan, The Great Adventure Bible Timeline, inspired by Bible scholar Jeff Cavins.[3] Cavins was a regular guest of the podcast, introducing each new biblical time period with Fr. Schmitz.[4]

It achieved a high level of popularity and became the most-downloaded podcast on Apple's platform for several weeks in early 2021, and again in early 2022.[5] [6] The podcast is produced by Ascension Press. An Ascension staff member, Lauren Joyce, suggested that its success could be attributable to a need for faith during the COVID-19 pandemic, which limited in-person religious services; podcasting in general increased in popularity during the pandemic.[7] [8]
