Thank you very much for putting this together, praised be Jesus and Mary! I have enjoyed listening so far. The website link you gave has a beautiful, very traditional design.

Glad to be of service. :cowboy:

The presentation of the website is the easy part.

Did you know that radio station software has it's own programming language? I didn't. So specific are the demands of a radio station. 

Trying to get it now so it doesn't sound ugly, that the thousands of tracks play in the right order, is not easy. 


Oh and as well as podcasts, I should have mentioned live prayer! Since that is mentioned in another thread right now, anyone willing to broadcast their rosary live would be most welcome! By themselves or with friends or family. The station can cope with livestreams. Or even just recording. While the prayers now are real people, it just feels a little staged. However staged at least means no problems. 

But a livestream rosary means being able feel that you are praying in unison with someone. Which you are of course. 


Thank you for the prayers! Please pray more for the success of the station!

If you have ever looked up Catholic radio, most of it is Novus Ordo trash. Full of fluff and warm and fuzzy feelings as the late Bishop Williamson would often talk about. 

We're all human of course, but true Catholicism has the right balance. 


Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us!

Thank you so much!

Always good to have hard work appreciated.

Please do submit feedback.

Right now the station plays categories on a certain timetable.

All this can be changed, based on what is best.

We have to consider different timezones. Main audience is obviously USA and Europe. But there is, even there, when you think about it, a huge time difference between PST and Central European time.

For the moment the different categories of content is split across different times of day. If people want more nєω ωσrℓ∂ σr∂єr stuff at a convenient time we can do that. Or more prayer at a certain time.

Trying to cater to everybody will be tricky. We can always split it up into multiple stations as well, but that risks diluting the audience. So at this point any and all input is very valuable. Starting with people who genuinely will listen regularly to it.


Also note, that since it is still early days, you may experience interruptions, as we iron out some glitches. Trying to make it as smooth an experience as possible. (Literally as this is being typed, its restarting, lol )

Does anyone have an recommendations for radio listings and apps to get on that we haven't thought of before?

Where do you all get your radio?
I get my radio from whatever website is hosting it, I have been running the direct stream from the website on my laptop.

I cannot say any complaints aside from the AI generated breaks. I can't help with the music, but I have been told I have a great voice. If you'd like I would do the duty of reading lines for future use free of charge. Hiring a genuine band of musicians to write and perform a song would be great, too. You're doing what you can right now, and I'm glad to hear no infomercials being played, if you set up a direct donations box on the website I will support, as soon as I see $1000 again I'll throw in $200. 

A section to listen to recently played sermons & prayers will be helpful, too.

This, I like seeing. I'll definitely enjoy listening to this for a while, and have shared it around to who I believe will like listening to it.

The idea behind the music is just simply to give people a break to get up and do something and to clearly mark out a distinction between tracks. It also just adds some levity to what is otherwise a heavy and serious subject matter. Once we get volunteers for live shows it should make it lighter even more. Do you wanna do a show? The platform is there for you. Just send a DM. If people really dont like the music it can be changed. I think you can just consider it a few moments to switch off mentally and do something as a break. Radio needs that because of the way people listen to radio which is not really like podcasts or youtube.  But there's no immoral music ever on it.

When you say "A section", in what sense do you mean that? Like a part of the website? or a "recent sermons" hour at a certain time of day? The latter has been a thought alright. The former can equally be done. Fairly easily.


For the moment donations are not being asked for. It might be needed to just pay for hosting and the web domain, that its tolerable for anyone with a job. Besides, when you see how they cancelled Matthew's payments, it makes you reluctant.

Anyone who has a podcast already and is reading this, please feel free to submit it! It means a bigger audience since it will be played more than once. We can even do a special section for homemade podcasts so people know they are listening to something recent. People prefer that.
