Episode Details

Across the golden age of radio, the story of Joan of Arc was told again and again—each broadcast attempting to capture something that refuses to be contained.

Was she a mystic? A soldier? A political instrument? Or something far more dangerous—a saint who could not be controlled?

In this Chesterton Radio Deep Dive, we enter a collection of rare Old Time Radio dramatizations and discover not just a life, but a confrontation. These productions wrestle with her voices, her authority, her trial, and the fire that did not silence her.

Why did hardened men follow a peasant girl into war? Why did learned judges fear her answers? And why, centuries later, does her story still feel unresolved?

This is not a biography.It is an encounter.

Keep the signal alive.
