Ancient Faith Radio's first live-call in program, Ancient Faith Today. This last Sunday was about the Eastern Orthodox Approach to the Bible. It's with Dr. Jeannie Constantinou who hosts the Podcast "Search the Scriptures" on AFR, and hosted the podcast "Beyond the Veil" on OCN.

have not listened to that one yet, but Pres Jeannie is pretty spot on in much of her stuffs.

My dad and I listened to this together Sunday night when it was streaming, Dr. Constantinou was excellent. I thought her brief description about the Septuagint and the Masoretic in the beginning was quite interesting, as well just about everything else in the podcast. I should really re-listen though to brush up on some of the content.

I saw that was coming up on the show, but it hadn't been on yet at the time I checked AFR several days ago. I will have to listen when I get the chance. Thanks for sharing.

i can listen to her talk for hours and not fall asleep, she is fascinating. There is another man on there with the same mind blowing communication skills but I forgot his name, he has a deep voice and pronounces his words carefully. I like AFR, it helps to not have to listen to Rihanna, Taylor Swift, and Juistin Beiber on a continuous 5-6 song loop for 10 hrs at work. i can just put in my headphones on my phone and either listen to talk or songs!

Are you thinking of Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick? Cause that's how I feel about him - I could listen to him for hours.

For me its Fr Thomas Hopko (and Dr Jeannie).

I just logged on and listened to a few of them in order to remember his name. It is Fr. Abbot Tryphon. Although, I listened to Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick and I like his homilies very much as well.

Everyone on there is pleasant to listen to. I wish I could talk without forgetting what I was talking about, or without not being able to find the right words, but these guys express in words what I think about without words in my head for me.

I hope AFR sticks around, it's the only reason I still have a smart phone LOL

Downloaded it & will run it through DeaDBeef tomorrow morning!

oh AFR will stick around methinks. I love Abbot Tryphon and Fr Thomas Hopko meself. Fr Irenei Steenberg is awesome too.

great to see you on here dude!

Yes, I enjoy Fr. Hopko too. In fact, I'm listening to Speaking the Truth in Love right now, the episode about the Prodigal Son. Great stuff .

I agree, I've streamed both the music and the talk stations for hours on end and from start to finish I enjoyed all of it. I've been considering supporting AFR, but I know they encourage people to support their local parish first if needed, and I think my parish could use the support from the looks of things...

Do you know if there's any actual AM or FM stations anywhere that broadcast AFR? I think they might broadcast wherever it is that they're headquartered, but that's it. I was thinking it'd be kind of a cool way to get AFR and Orthodoxy out there a bit more if it were possible retransmit it over the air.

 

[MrJim]

I listened to this podcast a couple days ago~he should have her on again I don't think she was done with the topic

The entire segment about how the Orthodox Church hasn't ever "officially" declared a canon was some fascinating insight.
