33.3 FM Icon Corner Radio
Vintage style radio podcast, In an age of fear, division, and uncertainty—from global power shifts and civil unrest to hidden agendas and end-times signs—we refuse to despair. Instead, we view every headline through an orthodox Christian lens: conservative in our commitment to biblical truth, compassionate in calling all to repentance, and unwavering in our hope for the soon return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Each episode unpacks the week’s biggest stories—here in America and around the globe—examining them biblically, exploring historical patterns and deeper motivations, and always redirecting our gaze from this passing world to the eternal Kingdom. We remind listeners: this is not our home. We are pilgrims, called to fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.

Icon Corner: Saint Telemachus - The Monk Who Stepped into the Gladiatorial Games
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today we honor a quiet hero whose single act of courage brought one of Rome’s most brutal traditions to an end: Saint Telemachus (also known as Almachius or Telemakhos), the monastic martyr of 404 AD. A humble ascetic from the East, he entered the Roman amphitheater—likely the Colosseum—and gave his life to stop the bloodshed of gladiatorial combat. His martyrdom moved Emperor Honorius to ban the games forever, marking a profound victory for Christian mercy over pagan spectacle.
