FM-G Joins AFR

Ancient Faith Radio will broadcast a new program beginning June 2, 2007, called, “Frederica Here and Now,” featuring weekly updates from noted Orthodox Christian author and speaker Frederica Mathewes-Green. “Frederica Here and Now” will be heard several times per week but will also be available via download on the Ancient Faith Radio website.

The broadcast will feature fresh reflections on Frederica’s travel and experiences. She will talk to interesting people, tell us fascinating stories and share unique insight into the changing world in which we live.

Frederica has also expressed her enthusiasm over this new project. “It’s an exciting time to be a writer, with the media continually transforming itself and offering new ways to communicate. The podcast concept offers fresh, flexible, and compelling possibilities of audio communication. I knew I didn’t want to record pre-written pieces in a studio setting. I wanted to go out exploring–to use the medium’s portability to create short pieces prompted by the things I see and hear and read, the people I meet, the places I go. I’m delighted that Ancient Faith Radio will host my podcast, ‘Here and Now,’ and looking forward to exploring this new medium’s capabilities.”

Plans include offering the weekly broadcast as a free download which can be played at any time. It will also be available as a podcast via RSS subscription for users of iTunes®, as well as users of iPods® and other MP3 players.
