Father Coughlin
Not Anti Semitism, but Anti Communism
by
Father Charles Coughlin was a Catholic priest and radio broadcaster whose Sunday addresses reached a large audience during the 1930s. This recording is identified as an address titled “Not Anti Semitism, but Anti Communism,” placing it within the political and religious commentary associated with his broadcasts.
Coughlin’s radio talks were delivered as direct addresses rather than dramatic stories, combining religious language with commentary on public affairs. Listeners hear a single speaker presenting his argument in a sermon-like format, with the focus on his words and delivery.
The title signals a discussion of anti-communism and antisemitism, subjects that require attention to the historical context of Coughlin’s broadcasts. The listening experience is a period political address, not a fictional radio play.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
