Episode Details

Fr. Peter George Flynn welcomes Radio Maria Ireland President John Carlin for a special Catechesis update on the station’s growth and mission. John shares encouraging figures: nearly 60,000 unique streaming devices, up 4% year on year, with Saorview listenership estimated to bring total reach to around 120,000 devices across 146 countries. He discusses the investment in DAB broadcasting now accessible in most cars built since 2020, YouTube subscribers crossing 4,000, and a Facebook reach equivalent to half the population of Connacht. The conversation turns to the strategy for reaching younger people through social media — in dialogue with Radio Maria stations in Germany and elsewhere — while keeping every penny accountable in a €50,000-a-month operation funded entirely by Providence and listeners’ generosity. Both speakers reflect on the station as a gift from Our Lady, an antidote to the noise of the world, and the importance of showing faith through good works as well as prayer.
