One of the things that keeps me a) in touch with the USA and b) sane is listening to streams of various radio and TV shows in my native land. One I particularly like is William Bennett’s Morning in America, which has a subscription services also broadcasts on various radio stations throughout the USA. I am a fairly regular e-mailer and caller to their show. This morning I was on with them for about 10 minutes talking about the Holy Father’s new encylical letter. I post this mainly because I think it is great that a national talk radio show is talking in a serious way about an encyclical of a Pope! Listen to Bennett sometime. His show is great. There is a clip of my interview available on the show’s web site. I don’t know how long it will be available, however.

“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

I have listened to Bill Bennett off an on, but lately, more often, because at 5:00 am there is a different talk show host on 1500 KSTP AM. Bill Bennett is good and solid, but when I am ready to get my blood boiling, I listen to Michael Savage on 1570 am, the Patriot. His show is taped. He is live from San Franciso, if you happen to live in CA and other places where it is PST. I absolutly think he is the smartest, most saavy talk show host if you are interested in politics. He is Jewish, although he doesn’t ever come right out and tell you that, but he does quote the Bible, is pro life and is probably too harsh for some people. We get him in MN at 6:00 am on the Patriot 2, 1570 am. Try him sometime, you’ll like him. God Bless.
