This 1940 first printing of “Another Thousand Radio Replies Second Volume” by Leslie Rumble is a fascinating glimpse into the early days of Catholic radio broadcasting. Rumble, a Catholic priest and prolific author, was a pioneer in using the emerging medium of radio to defend and explain Catholic teachings to a wide audience. This volume, a follow-up to his earlier “Radio Replies,” addresses a diverse range of questions and objections posed by listeners, offering Rumble’s thoughtful and erudite responses. While the well-worn condition of this copy speaks to its age and use, it also serves as a tangible link to a pivotal moment in the Church’s engagement with modern media. For collectors interested in the intersection of religion, communication, and 20th-century history, this book offers a unique perspective on the Catholic Church’s efforts to adapt to the rapidly changing technological landscape of the time.
