Interesting guests
Chaplain Scott Byerly
Very interesting guests with great moral and spiritual courage
Radio Free Hillsdale is solid
Good information source, with guests and topics mainly of interest to conservatives. Most guests are politically or culturally important. They also bring a guest with strong liberal arts info, to cover a specific topic that you may have studied sometime but it is great to get a reminding review.
Little or no chit chat here—I am uninterested in that. Instead, there is emphasis on presenting facts on the issues, then the guest’s opinions or predictions.
