Tomorrow morning, on the Catholic Channel’s Seize the Day program with host Gus Lloyd, Sylvester Stallone will be talking about Rambo IV —and perhaps his own faith. His segment is scheduled for 9 a.m.
The Catholic Channel is on Sirius Satellite Radio, channel 159. Even if you don’t have a satellite radio, you can still subscribe to the channel and listen via the Internet. Several members of the First Things crew have been on the program already, talking about everything from current articles in the magazine to extracurricular projects to Martin Luther King Jr. to movies.
In the interest of ecumenical goodwill, also tune in regularly to KFUO —Lutheran Worldwide Radio. As far as I know, Sylvester Stallone will not be appearing on any of its programs, but at least the Lutherans are free.
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.
