Back to the airwaves

This morning I will be on Effingham's WCRA radio, AM 1090 / FM 104.7 with William Bence talking about Saint Bonaventure.

We were supposed to do this interview last week Thursday but did not; he thought I was calling him and I thought he was calling me. Oops.

He's calling me today.

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.

Ah, life

It's been a busy weekend, but a good one.

Friday and Saturday the junior varsity soccer team played in a tournament in a Highland, a little more than an hour away. They lost their game Friday night 5-0, won their game Saturday morning 2-1, and lost their game Saturday afternoon 2-0.

We drove to Highland and back on Friday and again on Saturday, which provided two very entertaining car trips with the players. Lots of laughter was had, and even a bit of serious conversation.

After the second game on Saturday I hopped back in my and returned to Effingham with a little time to spare before the evening Mass.

When we returned from the game on Friday I popped out to the high school to show up - just briefly - for the "neon dance." I hated dances in high school, and my dislike of them hasn't changed. I've never been one for crowds, dark rooms and loud music. That, and I'm not one to dance anyway.

I've spent a good part of this afternoon learning more about podcasting. If all goes well, I'll be ready to begin by the end of the month. I'd like to start podcasting on the Feast of St. Francis, but I'll be in Quincy on a Great River Teens Encounter Christ retreat. Still, I suppose I could publish the podcast before the weekend starts... We'll see what happens.

In the morning I'll be interviewed again on WCRA radio, AM 1090 and FM 104.7. I believe the topic will be Pope Benedict XVI's address to the representatives of the French world of culture.

At 7:00 p.m., I'll be resuming my Bible studies at our mission parish discussing Saint Paul and Baptism.

It's looking as though it will be a busy week, but's alright.

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.
