Radio Shows

Whether or not it is advisable to call in to religious radio shows is debatable. On the one hand, you may be able to get our message through to people who normally don't hear it. Also, if the show has an 800 number for callers then you can at least hang on the line as long as possible because they have to pick up the charge for the call. On the other hand, you give the religious company who runs the show more content for the show. I find the hosts of these shows to be typically rude to people with opposing views and you may not want to deal with this unprofessional behavior.

It takes courage to publish or include controversial opinions and to provide equal time for Freethought. Positive feedback is always appreciated, and demonstrates to talk-shows that such views have an audience.

Either call, send letters or emails praising radio shows for featuring secular viewpoints or guests.

There may be radio talk-shows in your area that regularly feature out-of-town guests by long distance. Freedom From Religion Foundation staff are willing to field questions from the Foundation office in Madison, Wisconsin. This is a good way to educate the public and reach other freethinkers. Talk-show hosts and producers are usually appreciative of guest suggestions - especially from their regular listeners - and if they have recently featured a religionist or religious topic, they may be open to a suggestion for balance. 

Call in to recommend an interview with FFRF staff. The Foundation's number is (608) 256-8900.
