The folks at Provoke Radio, a left Catholic program out of Baltimore, asked The Revealer for a link. We were skeptical. But the show is good! Regular Revealer readers know that we're skeptical of the "religious left" -- not its goals, but its potential, usually undermined by flakiness and lousy production values. Provoke--an excellent name--sounds to us like a model for small-scale progressive broadcasting. The mission statement gets mushy--what are the "principles we all share"?--but the program, hosted by Fr. Stephen Spahn, a young Jesuit priest with a great radio voice, is specific, tough, and intelligent. Part of what makes it good is its recognition that religious questions are also often economic questions, and that problems ranging from genocide in Sudan to the abandonment of a generation in underfunded schools demand more than faith and good intentions.
