The “Unshackled” Radio Drama - Still Playing
Posted by: Robert Sandberg in Culture, Psychology, religion, tags: radio, religion, Unshackled
Have you ever heard these radio dramas? Produced by Chicago’s Pacific Garden Mission, they first aired in the 1950’s and continue today. I used to listen to them on Chicago’s WMBI in the 50’s and 60’s. As the Ghostly Talk website puts it, they are “like Dragnet with a Bible at the end instead of a jail cell.” Visit the Unshackled website and give a listen. It is a window into the world of Evangelical Christianity and how it deals with problems more usually addressed today by secular psychotherapy.
If you like simple answers, you will appreciate the message of each episode. And for those of you who, like me, have moved on, you still might find the dramas entertaining, even if you can’t quite accept the message or solution to a given character’s dilemma. One further hook, the stories are true.
