Saving money is a good thing. So is doing it with a view to retiring and tackling your bucket list. Does this describe you? Or did you save up for that beautiful “someday,” only to see life’s circumstances keep you from realizing your hopes and dreams? Let’s talk about this on Wednesday.

Wednesday is Cinco de Mayo, the annual commemoration of the Mexican Army’s victory over the French Empire in 1862. Some think that it is to mark Mexico’s Independence Day, which is actually celebrated on September 16. Still, it’s a day of great pride for those of Mexican descent, whom we invite to call on Wednesday and share how you celebrate your Mexican heritage.

Some people are diligent about keeping things from earlier in their lives. Others don’t make such an effort, but there comes a time when they wish they did. What about you? Do you have any memorabilia from your youth? Do you take it out and recall those memories often? Let’s talk about this on Tuesday’s show.

We all have to start somewhere in our working life. Often, we remember very well the first job we accepted, even when we’re much older, and have had many other jobs since then. On Thursday, let us know what your first job was, and how it helped to shape the person you are today.

Our midweek broadcast will feature you – as always – sharing your takes on the person you admire the most. And we want to hear how he or she has impacted your life. This is a topic that everyone should be able to weigh in on, so be sure you call early!

The last year, in which we all lived under the shadow of the COVID pandemic, has been a blessing to many of us. It’s also led a lot of people to the brink of exhaustion, even despair. If you’re worn out from the last year, call and share it with the world – and get prayer support – on Monday’s show.

We will end the week with our monthly “All About Relationships” show. If it’s a relationship we can be involved in – friends, loved ones, family, romance, marriage – then it’s something worth talking about. Please join us as we seek to improve all of our interpersonal relationships.

The last year has been one of the most challenging years for just about all of us. Fortunately, times like these can bring out the best in people. Is there someone who has “been there” for you during this year of pandemic, shutdowns, lockdowns, loss of jobs, families separated, etc.? If so, let the world know about it on Thursday.

Among our many monthly shows, our urgent prayer request program is one of the most popular. And for good reason. We all carry many prayer burdens in our hearts. For ourselves, our families, our loved ones, and even for people we don’t know. Join us on Wednesday and bring your important intentions to the broadcast.

Tuesday would have been Mother Angelica’s birthday. To honor her legacy, we invite your calls and comments about how her life and legacy impacted you personally. Her love of the faith, wit, wisdom and holiness touched the hearts of people around the world. Plan to join us!
