Good evening, it's Monday, August 6th.
This is the Jive at Five, our daily community calendar and rundown of nighttime
programming here on 88.1 FM WESU Middletown. 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: a visit with a former priest who has some thoughts about why pedaphiles like Cardinal Theodore McCarrick are such an intractable problem for the Church. In a sentence, it's the result of an insular Church culture with no due process and no accountability. On a happier note, we celebrate Pope Francis' condemnation of the death penalty in all circumstances, plus plenty of other topics. Can't listen live?
