Special Guests

  • Kim Paffenroth — Author of Gospel of the Living Dead: George Romero's Visions of Hell on Earth
    "Zombies are back," the New York Times declared recently, reporting a new crop of zombie films, books, and computer games. Why the enduring fascination with the undead? It's more than just gore: zombie movies offer insights into human nature, and even into theological concepts such as sin and redemption, says Kim Paffenroth, a scholar known for his studies of Saint Augustine and Flannery O'Connor. He turns his attention to the master of the zombie flick, George A. Romero, in his new book, Gospel of the Living Dead: George Romero's Visions of Hell on Earth.

Journey

  • Richard James — High Priest of The Wiccan Church of Canada
    It seems to be more reputable and authentic to consider "primary source material" and actually ask a Wiccan about what Wiccans believe! Richard joins us to clear up any misunderstandings we might have about witchcraft, Wicca, white witches, dark witches... which witch is which!

Talkback, etc.

  • Everything you wanted to know about witchcraft and Wicca but were AFRAID to ask!
    A once in a lifetime opportunity to call in with your questions for the High Priest of The Wiccan Church of Canada.

  • What do you do for Halloween? Hide in your back room with the lights off?
    Same question every year at this time... what is a Christian supposed to do on Halloween? Do you take your kids trick or treating? Does your church have a "Halloween Alternative"? Do you go to the office Halloween Party or do you stand outside and boycott? Why do you do what you do, or don't do?

  • Do you think that we can communicate with the dead?
    Sometimes people have dreams of a deceased loved one... dreams that seem so real and bring such comfort. Are these a blessing from God, a trick of Satan or just our sub-conscious minds taking us to a familiar place? What about when a medium or channeler tells you things that only the deceased would know? How about praying to Mary?

  • Do you visit the grave of your loved one very much or hardly at all?
    And on a slightly different matter, if your loved one was killed in the World Trade Center, would you want the remains they just found to be tested to see if there was a match? Or would it really matter to you at all? Just how attached are you to the dead?
