Prime Time America: Fare Thee Well

Readers who have been with All for Hymn for awhile know that I am a fan of Sound of Majesty.

Greg Wheatley, host of that program, also hosts Prime Time America. This is sort of the Christian version of NPR's All Things Considered, and has had a stellar run of 28 years.

Friday marks the end of an era in Christian broadcasting, as this show gives way to alternate programming on Monday.

You can catch the final episode live at moodyradiochicago.fm at 4 pm CT (the local broadcast is on WMBI, 90.1 FM), or you can catch the archive at primetimeamerica.org if you happen to be busy at that time.

Our man Greg will be doing other things for Moody Radio, including producing new episodes of Sound of Majesty.

Ignore the German on this video for now, as poetic liberties reigned in an English translation that rendered this text, "Fare thee well, I bid thee." May the Lord bless the entire crew over at Prime Time America as they transition to new roles.

Please note that audio archives of the show will remain in tact for the forseeable future.

Introducing Prime Time America

I like to think of Prime Time America as a Christian media alternative to All Things Considered.  If segments on crucial differences between Christianity and Islam are more relevant to you than a segment on the invasion Asiatic bittersweet vines in New England forests, this program is worth checking out.

If you've ever tuned in to Sound of Majesty, you'll recognize that the two shows share the same host, Greg Wheatley.

Last Monday the show featured both a discussion on Christianity and Islam as well as the author of the book, "This Is Your Brain on Music."  You can catch the first hour here, and the second hour here.

Prime Time America airs weekdays on Christian radio stations around the country.  For a station list, try this link.  It is also broadcast over the internet on wmbi.fm beginning at 4:00 PM Central.
