Father Coughlin

I Take My Stand

por

Father Coughlin was a radio program centered on the broadcasts of Catholic priest Charles E. Coughlin, whose public addresses brought religious, political, and social commentary to a wide audience. His forceful delivery and direct address made the program feel like a personal appeal to listeners.

The broadcast format is built around Coughlin speaking to his audience rather than a cast performing a dramatic story. His talks draw on the issues and arguments he chose to address, with the sermon-like cadence of a public orator and the urgency of a political commentator.

For listeners, the appeal lies in hearing a prominent and controversial radio voice in his own words. The title “I Take My Stand” signals a statement of position, offering a focused example of the program’s address-driven style.
