Taylor Marshall wrote a book called The Catholic Perspective on Paul.  He also did a series of podcasts based on the material in the book (also available on the Apple Podcast app); I highly recommend both. 


Bishop Barron gave a series of 3 homilies on St. Paul in 2004: "St. Paul the Apostle", "Being in Christ", and "Paul's Basic Message".  Also available as podcasts.

St. Paul Center's series of audio lessons, "Lessons from the Early Church" (requires creating a free account), doesn't directly relate to St. Paul but examines the first few centuries of the Church.
