HARD HEARING
My main media medium is radio. There are a few Christian stations in my area, fortuitously lined up like ducks in a row on the FM dial in the 80 and 90 megahertz range. This makes it easy to try to find some talk or discussion amid all the dissonance they call Brays & Warship Music or some such moniker. There is even some Catholic radio available.
The Catholic radio I catch most often offers some real good listening. But it sometimes irritates me quite a bit because it seems to be about 50% repetitive ad spots I have heard fifteen times before, tooting their horn, asking for donations, mentioning miscellaneous housekeeping matters, or replaying nearly unintelligible sound bites of highly accented voices from foreign sources such as Vatican radio. It’s like pulling in a net full of trash fish that have to be sorted through and thrown back into the drink, just to come away with enough for a decent meal.
