Catholic radio comes to Decatur

His Excellency the Most Reverend Thomas John Paprocki will celebrate Mass in the chapel of St. Mary's Hospital in Decatur on May 25th to celebrate the launch of Decatur Catholic Radio WDCR 88.9 FM.

Back to the airwaves

Those readers in the Effingham area - and, on a good day, as far west as the Girard area - will be able to hear me on Effingham's WCRA AM 1090 / FM 104.7 at 7:45 a.m. Thursday with William Bence. We'll be talking about Saint Bonaventure.

Back to the air waves

At 7:45 a.m. tomorrow (Thursday) I'll be on Effingham's WCRA AM 1090/FM 104.7 (the AM station can often be heard as far west as Girard, at least in my car) with William Bence talking about Pope Benedict XVI's recent audience address on St. Anthony of Padua.

Back to the airwaves

Monday morning William Bence - of the WCRA Morning Show - and I will discuss the upcoming World Youth Day 2008 in Sydney, Australia at 7:40 a.m. on FM 107.4, and AM 1090.

This will be my last appearance on the show until the second Monday of August.

My first radio interview

Update: Apparently I keep giving incorrect information about this radio station; I'll get it right soon! The FM call numbers are 104.7. It has been corrected below.

Update: I've been reminded that this wasn't technically my first time on the radio since we broadcast our 5:30 p.m. Saturday evening Mass on Sunday mornings on this station at 10:30 a.m. (I think).

The radio interview this morning went well, I think, and I've already received a bit of positive feedback from it, and none negative (yet).

We talked about a great many things Catholic and otherwise in the course of the twenty minutes and I'm looking forward to going back.

I'll next be back on Monday, March 10th, at 7:40 a.m. on WCRA, AM 1090 and FM 104.7.





Mr. Bence is going to see about converting the interview to an mp3 format which I could link from the blog, or at least from personal web site (that's currently being redesigned).

To the air waves

Update: I gave the wrong call letters when I first posted this. WCRC is the sister station of WCRA; WCRC plays country music and I wouldn't want you to listen to that - it might hurt your ears like it does mine. WCRA, on the other hand, is news talk and is on AM 1090 and FM 104.7. I've made the appropriate changes in the original post.

William Bence of WCRA AM-1090, "The Talk of Effingham," has just asked me to be a monthly guest on his morning radio show. I happily accepted. I will be his guest on the second Monday of each month at 7:40 a.m.

Together we'll discuss some of the misinformation circulating about Catholic beliefs, as well as the media and history, and probably whatever else comes to mind.

William and I bump into each other in the coffee shop from time to time and in other places as well and we always end up talking and having good conversations. I'm very much looking forward to speaking with him each month.

Thursday morning at 7:40 a.m. I'll be speaking with him about the media bias against Catholicism in pariticular and Christianity in general, and probably a couple of other things besides.

Remember: AM 1090, 7:40 a.m.
