It's been amazing to partner with Les Sillars and the Patrick Henry College Journalism program on the Doubletake podcast. Les and his students have found some remarkable stories to tell! https://t.co/2uAuHlbEOK

@TheJasonBlosser Wow! Thanks Jason. I appreciate your correspondence and we are looking for ways to improve everyday. I'm grateful that you took the time to write and share your perspective--it means a lot that you care enough to share your opinion. Grace and peace.

Over the last few months a handful of listener emails asked WORLD Radio for more sports coverage. While we'll never be Sports Radio, hopefully this helps scratch that itch: https://t.co/o4F8uD48mT

@CoughlinLaw @TWERadio These were specially recorded excerpts for our piece. Myrna did a great job bringing Stockton to life!

Like thousands of other Air Force kids in the 1970s, I wanted to be an astronaut. I've never stopped dreaming about space travel or the moon. Loved reading through the 195 hours of mission transcripts for this piece!

From our vantage point, D-Day was a clear victory, but on June 6th, 1944, our nation and its allies were uncertain of its outcome. Many announcements from world leaders included a call to prayer. Listen to a few of the "Voices of D-Day" on today's podcast. https://t.co/t5eqEID0RY

A break from @WJI for a quick trip to the Palisades State Park in South Dakota. We had to stop for a pic at the Minnesota border. Why? I have no idea...

@NickEicher records Tuesday's program while at @dordtuniversity for @WJI. His mind might be on other things however... @TWERadio

I haven't sailed much since high school but I was inspired while working on this week's Sir Robin Knox Johnston History Book entry. This short, uncredited YouTube video is an engaging account of the 1968-69 round the world race: https://t.co/UdpXOykerY

I wondered about the Christian alternatives available for families leaving traditional scouting organizations. I found a former BSA Eagle Scout who chose a different path for his children @TrailLifeUSA and @AHGnews

This week's #WORLDRadioHistoryBook includes 3 events that all happened on February 21st: the unveiling of the first Polaroid camera, the assassination of MalcolmX and Steve Fossett's solo flight across the pacific in a balloon. https://t.co/lWU2Ggc7GP

2/14/1899: The U.S. Congress approves voting machines for use in federal elections. Can you think of a better Valentine Day gift to the American people? <3 #WORLDRadioHistoryBook

2/12/1994: 25 years ago, four thieves steal Edvard Munch's most famous painting "The Scream" from the National Gallery of Norway. The artwork was recovered 2 years later. In 2012 it sold at auction for $120 million. #WORLDRadioHistoryBook

[Paul Butler @PaulDButlerTWE]

The hardest part of writing the #WORLDRadioHistoryBook each week is only getting to choose three events to highlight! While not always life-changing, hopefully interesting! https://t.co/eT8yFIAHOG
