The Jesus Christ Show
The Jesus Christ Show
6 to 9am PT, Sunday
Jesus is played by the show's producer, Neil Saavedra, who calls the program "interactive radio theater to teach people from all walks of life about the historical person of Jesus Christ."
The show became a part of Premiere Radio Networks starting on June 1, 2008, and is syndicated to several stations in the US including WFLA (Tampa), KOGO (San Diego), America's Talk (XM Radio), and others.
The show is not inherently religious; rather, life issues are discussed in a manner similar to the advice shows of Laura Schlessinger and Joy Browne. Saavedra, as Christ, dispenses answers and advice based upon Christ's parables and preaching as told in the Gospels.
The Jesus Christ Show began as a short segment on KFI’s The Bill Handel Show, when Saavedra was invited to play the role of Jesus as a serious guest for an Easter program segment.
