Father Coughlin
Let Us Consider the Record
von
Father Coughlin was a radio program centered on the broadcasts of Catholic priest Charles E. Coughlin, whose addresses brought religious and political commentary to a large audience. His direct, sermon-like delivery made the program feel like a personal address to listeners, combining moral argument with discussion of public affairs.
The title “Let Us Consider the Record” suggests a broadcast framed as a review or assessment. Coughlin’s programs generally relied on extended spoken commentary rather than dramatic scenes, inviting listeners to follow his reasoning and consider the issues he raised.
The listening experience is shaped by Coughlin’s forceful voice and emphatic rhetoric. It offers a window into the political and religious concerns expressed over American radio in the late 1930s, with the intimacy of a speaker addressing listeners directly from the microphone.
