today is the launch of my podcast! It's for Ancient Faith Radio, a 24-hour internet broadcast of Eastern Orthodox music & audio programs. Here's where you can sign up:

When director John Maddex (who recently concluded 30+ years at Moody Radio) asked me to do a podcast, I said that I didn't want to do the same kind of thing I did years ago for NPR's "All Things Considered:" I would write out a commentary, polish it up with the editor, and then record it in their studio. It seems like that is what most podcasts are like, and how many carefully polished 8-minute nuggets of wisdom can we stand? I hit on the idea of doing something off-the-cuff, and John was not just gracious but enthusiastic. So they sent me a good quality digital recorder that is pocketbook-sized (if you carry a sizeable pocketbook) and I have started recording short pieces whenever I'm having a good conversation with someone, or just when I notice something I want to talk about. As I travel around the country to speaking events, I hope to be able to record conversations with new and old friends everywhere. This first recording I made a week ago, when my husband adn I were in a car going to meet friends at a restaurant, and we got into a conversation about how catechumens gradually begin to grasp the differences in Eastern Christianity. I'm also proud to say that the theme music is written and performed by our son David. He calls the piece "Frank 2". I hope to get some more of David's songs on my website. Yay David! ******** Frederica Mathewes-Green _www.frederica.com_ (http://www.frederica.com) ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
