I will be on the syndicated radio show, the John Batchelor Show, tonight, Jeff Bliss substitute hosting. Our subject is the Final Exit Network billboard campaign in specific, and the dangers of euthanasia/assisted suicide, in general. This is my first appearance on the show, Jeff Bliss substitute hosting tonight. It was pre-recorded and is supposed to air at 8 Pacific, 11, Eastern, but that time could shift. In any event, if you are interested in listening, here’s a link to WABC, which runs the show in full.
I am a big fan of the program, finding it one of the most informative on the air, as I have mentioned here before. In speaking with the producer, I learned that the show airs live seven days a week! I asked, is Batchelor a broadcasting monster? The obvious answer: Yes. Now, that’s dedication.
Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
