Fulton J. Sheen, a name synonymous with spiritual wisdom and eloquent oratory, joins our station to continue his legacy of inspiring listeners around the world. Beginning his illustrious career as an instructor, Sheen wrote his first of 73 books in 1925, marking the start of a journey that would see him become one of the most influential religious voices of the 20th century.

In 1930, Sheen embarked on a weekly NBC Sunday-night radio broadcast, "The Catholic Hour," which quickly became a cornerstone of religious broadcasting in the United States. His profound insights and charismatic delivery captivated listeners, as he provided a spiritual perspective on contemporary issues, including World War II, which he described as a "theological" struggle as much as a political one. He was unafraid to address the most pressing issues of his time, referring to Adolf Hitler as an example of the "Anti-Christ," a testament to his courage and conviction.

By the 1950s, Sheen's broadcast reached a staggering weekly listening audience of four million people. Time magazine in 1946 hailed him as "the golden-voiced Msgr. Fulton J. Sheen, U.S. Catholicism's famed proselytizer." He received thousands of letters weekly from listeners, a clear indication of the impact his words had on the hearts and minds of people across the nation.


Sheen had a radio and television program called Life Is Worth Living, which aired from 1952 to 1957. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulton_J._Shee

Sheen was not just a voice on the radio; he was a visionary who embraced new mediums to spread his message. He narrated the first religious service broadcast on television, pioneering a new path for religious broadcasting and reaching an even wider audience.

Today, TalkRadio.us is proud to become a part of this incredible legacy. Fulton J. Sheen's teachings and philosophies continue to resonate, and we are delighted to bring his timeless wisdom to our listeners.
