Excellent host and content!
I've had the pleasure of not only being a guest on Cross Word but also a frequent listener. Michele McAloon is a well-read and well- prepared host. She guides her guests yet gives them the latitude to answer questions fully. I always come away with having learned something new and with an interest to delve more deeply into the topic at hand. The show is a also a generator of great discussion.

Easy to listen to.
Started with episode ten, which was interesting and easy to listen too. I didn’t feel like I needed an advanced degree in theology to understand everything - definitely a plus. Now I’m going back to episode one and work my way to ten.
Great Guests
So interesting to hear about so many different perspectives!
