Great Blend of Music and World News

I love how he ties the music to the weekly topics on the show. Especially enjoying the national anthems of different countries. The tour of headline stories, and not-so-headline bits, expands my knowledge and appreciation of what’s going on outside my own little world. Can’t wait for the next show!

Incredible musical taste

You’ll hear the best music that history has to offer up to this point. Eclectic and interesting, David Robertson is a pastor for the heart, mind and spirit of the English speaking world.
