Rev. Bridges on Radio

This summer I began cohosting an FM radio show called Spiritually Speaking. It is loosely connected with the Network of Spiritual Progressives, a group started by Rabbi Michael Lerner. The program has aired on Tuesdays, 4:30 to 5:00 p.m., and soon will be expanded to an hour format - 4-5 p.m. on Tuesdays. It is broadcast by WVKR, 91.3 FM, Vassar College Radio, out of Poughkeepsie, NY. It is also accessible via the internet from WVKR's webpage.

Here are some direct links to some of the various programs we have done. However, you really need to have a high speed, broadband connection for these links to work. Even with high speed, be patient for it to fully download.
