Good evening, it's Thursday, Aug. 3rd. This is the Jive at Five, our daily community calendar and rundown of nighttime programming here on 88.1 FM WESU iddletown. By day, WESU offers talk radio from NPR and Pacifica, as well as independent and local public affairs sources. Weeknights and weekends our student and community volunteers bring you the best in free-form programming.
I’m Maria Johnson, producer and host of Reasonably Catholic: Keeping the Faith, which this summer airs every Tuesday, from 4 to right before the Jive at Five. Tomorrow, an encore broadcast of Tuesday's visit by playwright Jacques Lamarr who first appeared on the show two years ago to talk about his year and a half studying for the priesthood in Rome. Jacques ultimately changed his mind about being a priest, but he's doing inspired work for the theater. He's be joined on the show by NYC chef Rossi, the subject of his latest play, Raging Skillet, a deep, funny play about her youthful rebellion against her strict Jewish upbringing. Can't listen live? Find the audio archived tomorrow evening at www.reasonablycatholic.com.
