New RT Radio programme the Leap of Fai

New RT Radio 1 programme The Leap of Faith For listeners of all faiths and none.

This Friday 2nd October at 10pm, Michael Comyn will present the first programme in a new series, The Leap of Faith, on RT Radio 1.

In a programme for people of all faiths and none, Michael talks with those whose life experiences cause them to call on their beliefs, as he seeks to discover what religion does for people - and occasionally to them.

Michael's first guest on the 2nd of October is journalist, broadcaster and hotelier Bibi Baskin.

Back in Ireland, following a diverse career which has taken her from talk show host to hotelier in India, she talks about the events and choices that brought about such rich and varied life.

She also talks about her return to faith and Christianity, influenced by her life in Kerala in India.

With regular updates from across the world's faiths and from those that hold them, this will be a thought-provoking 30 minutes of radio. Each week the programme will hear from people about how they access their spiritual intelligence' at different times in their lives.

Michael Comyn has been presenting Sunday Spirit for the last year on RT Radio 1 Extra on Sunday mornings at 10.00am and this new programme is an exciting opportunity for him to explore his light touch interviewing style which allows the subject to breathe and the story to unfold. Michael Comyn has worked in radio on and off for over 30 years, reading news at lunchtime on his local radio station in Louth while still at secondary school. A short hiatus followed while he got a proper job working in communications training before he found himself back on RT Radio in 1999 as the first voice on RT lyric fm. He kept in touch with radio by occasionally filling in on Playback, Risin' Time and Late Date, followed by a brief period presenting a talk show on commercial radio in Dublin.

The programme is produced by RT Head of Religious Programmes, Roger Childs.
