About a year ago, I was fiddling with our XM radio out of boredom. We were nearing the end of our one year trial and I was just playing around in the meantime. Lo and behold, I found a new station- The Catholic Channel! I love this station, and it is now nearly the only station I will listen to when in my car (the one with XM, anyway). It's almost become an extended catechesis for me and I'm so thankful. I just wish I could listen out of my car- there are times that I pull in the driveway and idle or turn off the engine to catch the last bit of an episode
I love the programming, there is just so much to choose from, these are the shows that I manage to hear if I'm in the car:
- The Catholics Next Door- Greg and Jennifer Willits discuss their lives with their families and their faith
- Across the Nation with Bob Dunning- A great way to catch up on the news headlines. Esp. for a mom. We try to leave the tv off when my son is up, so I don't hear much news unless I actively seek it out. Time for that is limited.
- The Catholic Guy- Lino Rulli leads fun and interesting discussions of the Catholic faith out in the world with a slant toward someone who is Catholic and single.
- Busted Halo- Fr. Dave Dwyer and his team lead fun shows detailing different facets of our faith. Ex. Mass Class Weds., Faith and Culture Thursday, Free For All Friday.
All of the shows are amazing! I left more off my list, but that is solely b/c I rarely hear them during the day because they are too early or it is nap time in our house. I highly recommend this station, if you are Catholic or not, you might just find that you've learned something. Case in point? Last night Fr. Dave was discussing a new website called Catholic Heroes of the Faith, with some wonderful programming for children discussing the lives of different saints. It's amazing and I'll discuss it more another time!
