Father Coughlin

God Help the American Farmer

por

Father Charles Coughlin was a Catholic priest and radio broadcaster whose Sunday addresses brought political and social commentary to a large audience. His broadcasts centered on his forceful, sermon-like delivery and his views on public affairs.

“God Help the American Farmer” presents a topic focused on American agriculture. The program is a spoken address rather than a dramatic radio story, with Coughlin’s voice and argument at the center of the listening experience.

The tone is earnest and persuasive, reflecting the style of a public sermon and political commentary. Listeners interested in the concerns and rhetoric of American radio in the late 1930s will find a direct example of Coughlin addressing an issue of the day.
