Dónal and Father Eamonn respond to Brendan O’Regan’s review in The Irish Catholic, which praised the program’s calm tone and thoughtful discussion but suggested a tighter focus on media issues and more guest interviews. Our hosts suggest how topics, like forgiveness, kindness, and Christian themes, which may not seem intrinsically media-related, often emerge in secular broadcasting and deserve deeper evaluation through a Christian lens.

They discuss how scriptural language and Christian moral assumptions still shape public discourse. The conversation then addresses current debates on school ethos and media treatment of religion, highlighting concerns about ideological bias and the erosion of Christian-informed cultural values. They also note recent examples of acknowledged media bias, such as comments from former BBC presenter John Humphrys. The episode centres on how Christians can critically and constructively interpret media narratives with depth, clarity, and hope.
