Editor, columnist, author, and radio personality Robert White is the interviewer.  

If you live in the Kitchener/Waterloo area, you can check it out on Faith FM 94.3 at 10 p.m. (ET)

It might sounds weird, but I've just merged 4 sites with this one, so it is going to be a little messy here for a while.

I'll also be changing up the appearance a little bit.

Hopefully, once it's finished, I'll be able to keep it a little more active than it's been over the last year or so while all my energy was going into A Second Cup of Hot Apple Cider.
