About Me

Tony Rossi
I'm a graduate of St. John's University in New York, and I've been working as a TV & Radio writer/producer in the faith-based media world since 1996 - specifically for the talk shows "Christopher Closeup" and "Personally Speaking." I've started this blog to highlight guests on those programs and hopefully give their memorable stories greater exposure. I also plan on posting thoughts on areas of popular culture that include an element of faith or values.
