Updates to the Radio Programs Page

The Radio programs page has just reached 700 views! This is the most popular part of the FBSM blog and I hope that is has been a blessing to all that use it. Radio is a very special medium to me for learning and spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ. While I have updated this page almost every month, I have not shared these updates in a blog post for a long time.

The following series have been added to the Radio Programs page since the beginning of the year:

Upper Room. drama. (1947 - ????)
For a few years the Upper Room Ministries would produce radio dramas for "National Family Week" dealing with current topics of family life and strife. The 1947 series "So You Want To Stay Married" can still be heard in its entirety and is downloadable from several old time radio sites.

Down Our Way. drama. (syn. c. 1949 - ????)
Very little is known about this 26 episode half-hour series despite the number of episodes that exist. A very heartwarming series that centers around members of a church choir and the goings on around their community. Produced by Commodore Productions, more well known for producing the "Hopalong Cassidy" radio series.

This is a new section for programs that debuted after 1962, but are not know to currently be broadcast on any radio station or streaming service. 

Fables of Faith. (c. 1970 - ????) children's
A children's radio series of at least 109 stories, exact content unknown, produced by Vann Owen Trapp. This series was known to have aired in the mid 1980s on Moody Bible stations.

Critter County on Radio (c. 1985 - ????) children's
The radio ministry of Christine Wyrtzen, creator of the Critter County children's album that was released in 1984. On her weekly radio program, Christine presented music and Bible learning in a fun way along with Sidney, the talking squirrel.
