RADIO AND
TELEVISION
“Crossroads
Challenge” was Raymond’s first radio broadcast, in
New Zealand, in cooperation with the Alternative Ministry of the
Auckland diocese. His second was “Mission: Possible!”
produced in Christchurch with
the support of the Most Reverend Basil Meeking, his diocesan
bishop.
“Sounds Catholic” in
Western Australia was sponsored by the Most Rev. Barry Hickey,
Archbishop of Perth. In his section, “Radio Replies,” Raymond answered write-in questions
on faith and morals. The success of that program led to a live
call-in talk show called “The Layman’s
Hour” which he produced with his wife, Theresa.

Every Sunday evening for two years, Raymond and Theresa
enlivened the airwaves with news, interviews, reports and
animated exchanges with callers.
