    The Patrick Madrid Show: August 20, 2026 - Hour 1

    Patrick kicks off a pledge drive hour where faith, generosity, and humor mingle with listener stories about struggling with good intentions, unexpected turns, and practical Catholic living. He wrestles with issues of wealth, apologist pitfalls, road-trip mishaps, technology’s surprises, and why generosity matters for the mission—all while inviting his audience into the urgency and sincerity of keeping Relevant Radio alive. Sudden confessions, calls, and affirmations ripple through the hour, setting a tone equally grounded and unpredictable.   Jim (email) – If I’m on the Road to Perdition, should I “keep going”? (01:32) Christian (email) - What are the blessings and challenges of a Catholic Apologist? Michael - Thoughts on the proper disposition of a Catholic towards money or wealth? Can't we do good by prudent financial planning and donating? (13:16) Anthony - My back surgery went great! I had no rods, pins, or hardware. New technology of back surgery is incredible. (18:02) Matt (email) - Why can validly ordained priests (such as those of the SSPX) validly celebrate most sacraments even when doing so illicitly, but cannot validly administer Confirmation or Confession—even when they use the correct form and matter? Jessica - Turns out that my daughter is not doing that great with her cellphone. Even if you think parental controls are working, they find their way around it. (46:59)

    The Patrick Madrid Show: August 20, 2026 - Hour 3

    Patrick opens the hour fielding challenging questions from listeners about SSPX sacraments, blessings for couples in irregular situations, and the Catholic perspective on organ donation, moving seamlessly from theological nuance to personal dilemmas, including a story of an AI scam targeting the elderly that disrupts a family. Unexpected calls about faith, loss, grief, the authority of parents, and the meaning of obedience push the conversation well beyond surface-level advice, while Patrick threads in gratitude for supporters and stories of everyday miracles. Candid, sometimes raw, the hour pulses with the messiness, hope, and complexity of real Catholic life.   Chandler (email) - Regarding Rome's claim that SSPX marriages and confessions are no longer valid. How can the Pope do this when the eastern orthodox have been around 1000 years, and the church recognizes all their sacraments as valid? (01:48) Juanita (email) - I recently read an article with this heading: “Soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo receives Fiducia Supplicans-style blessing after civil marriage”. Am I correct, despite this “blessing” this 10-years-in-the-making marriage remains an invalid marriage (because they are both “Catholic” but chose only a civil ceremony with no mention of an actual Sacrament of Marriage in a Catholic church)? Kelly (email) – Question about cremation Caroline - It is not just the children who are being attacked by AI, it’s also the elderly. My mother was scammed on her device and asked for personal details. (27:29) Harold - I called years ago about advice on my deaconate formation to continue on. Thank you for giving me the advice you gave! (39:13) Tony - How does prayer work? (44:06)

    The Patrick Madrid Show: August 19, 2026 - Hour 1

    Patrick explores emotional numbness and overstimulation, drawing a line from Archbishop Fulton Sheen’s warnings in the 1950s straight to today’s digital frenzy, where attention splinters and quiet moments get drowned out by endless screens and urgent voices. Short videos, distracted reading, the endless scroll—Patrick connects these threads while offering listeners solace in the steady presence of Relevant Radio, where faith punctuates the noise and daily stories bloom. Gratitude, practical advice, music, and real-life encounters intertwine as Patrick brings listeners to the core of spiritual resilience and the subtle challenge of tuning out what numbs the soul.   Audio: Fulton Sheen diagnosed emotional numbness in 1956 – 1min -https://x.com/relevantradio/status/2089821360558080263/video/1?s=46 (27:01) Mike (email) - Bless you both for cueing & reading my email on air. It was inspired by the holy Spirit as usual of your labor of love! The illness has kept me in and resting for months. I can definitely see the benefit of keeping up social contact. I will take your suggestion and consult my doctor closely. You made my day.  (16:59) Maryanne - I've been to the Episcopalian church, and their liturgy is exactly like ours. Are their bishops apart of our bishops who make the liturgy? (18:37) Cindy - I wanted to thank Patrick and Relevant Radio for such wonderful radio. It is an escape into holiness or refuge for me. (27:11) Steve (Substack comment) – I’m a devout atheist listener with Buddhist leanings (45:10)

    The Patrick Madrid Show: August 19, 2026 - Hour 2

    Patrick takes listeners through questions of faith and daily choices while the Relevant Radio Summer Pledge Drive pulses in the background. Prayer surfaces as both a lifeline and a missed opportunity, shaping unseen consequences, while stories about confronting technology, the paths to conversion, and the ethics of medical crises add urgency and meaning. Pressing issues—from government transparency during the pandemic to how everyday believers quietly spread hope—collide, always circling back to gratitude and the mysterious way small acts ripple through countless lives.   Lillia (email) - If someone feels ill but is too afraid to see a doctor and then dies suddenly, and we believe God decides the exact time of our death, would going to the doctor have changed anything? In other words, would that person still have died at the same moment, because not even a doctor could alter the time God had already set? (01:12) Joseph - Someone I worked with two years ago sent me a text yesterday to tell me thank you for turning her onto Relevant Radio. It was the greatest birthday present to me! (13:35) Marianne (email) - Sorry, but I think you are fooling yourself, Mr. Madrid, in regards to keeping cell phones away from kids Fauci Senior Advisor David Morens pleads guilty to "Conspiracy to Commit Offenses and to Defraud the United States" - https://x.com/fbidirectorkash/status/2089831522408821051 (27:21) Audio: Montage of Covid lies - https://x.com/adamcarolla/status/2087009099078901900/video/1?s=46 (29:53) Ben - In cases of ectopic pregnancy, is it morally right to abort the fertilized egg (the baby) — including right after fertilization — in order to protect the mother’s life and safety? (42:24) Email - Did you ever experience racism? (47:56)

    The Patrick Madrid Show: August 19, 2026 - Hour 3

    Patrick brings listeners into stories of kindness, community, and faith—an elderly caller’s struggle on a busy train, longing for compassion from strangers glued to their phones, and a conversation about longing for a path back to the Catholic Church. He urges acts of generosity, emphasizes listening before judging, and doesn’t shy away from wrestling with deep questions about suffering, tragedy, and trusting God’s mysterious will. Calls and emails reveal how even a moment of patience or an honest prayer can change lives, and Patrick keeps pressing forward with simple encouragement: keep going.   Sandra - As 81-year-old, everyone is on their cellphones, and they won't help me or make room for me to sit down. I don’t know what to do. (00:59) Jonathan (email) - I have recently been hired as a head coach for a boys’ varsity soccer team. After praying this morning, I came to a conclusion that I would like to give the option to my players and have a moment where we would pray the Our father prayer before the game, my thought is this would be optional and everyone has the choice to join for that moment of prayer or they could choose not to. Question to you is, is this good way to proceed since I may get back lash from the school or parents or would there be another way of doing this that would not rock the boat as much. My feeling is it may not go over well, but I would be willing to defend my position on this. (15:17) Suzanne (email) - I understand that Relevant Radio offers gifts to donors because in so doing, donations go up. From a materialistic and business perspective, I guess that makes sense. But from a Christian perspective, it doesn't. Daniel (email) - I am so shaken by the news that a Northwest Airlines flight crashed in Detroit and the only survivor was a 4-year old little girl. Why, oh God, why would you let this happen? Joanne - AWARD for Sandra for speaking out as a Senior. Also, a young girl was evangelized in the laundry mat because of Relevant Radio (27:22) Kim - Deaf people need so much help for all things. Thank you for always helping this awareness. (40:09) Please don’t read my name (email) – Ushers should act as security (46:24)

    The Patrick Madrid Show: August 18, 2026 - Hour 1

    Patrick zeroes in on screens and smartphones disrupting both learning and real connection. The hour lands on blunt warnings about technology’s grip on cognition and attention, pulling listeners through expert testimony, lost reading habits, spiritual reflections, and the quirks of daily social encounters. Phones buzz, digital distractions tempt, but Patrick refuses to let distraction have the last word.   Audio: The problem with screen learning –https://x.com/one_hardTruth/status/2089005510846709900/video/1?s=46 (02:45) David - Did God command anyone to rape someone else in the Bible? Are the chemical methods of birth control just like committing abortion? (12:45) Audio: Why many people don’t like to read books with David Foster Wallace (from 2003 but still true today) - https://x.com/AlexAndBooks_/status/2045864534192115717?s=46 (17:22) Mike - I developed a serious illness. It has affected my abdomen. I lost 25lbs and my voice has gotten strained due to diaphragm function. I'm 67 and semi-retired. I wonder when I should stop going out in public for meetings like Knights of Columbus for example. (27:30) Pete - When things start happening one thing after the other it is more than a coincidence. Goes into other areas of life as well. Could be the devil. (30:06) Vicki – Candid Camera (42:28)

    The Patrick Madrid Show: August 18, 2026 - Hour 2

    Patrick brings listeners into raw exchanges on gender identity and the trans movement, confronting cultural pressures, contested language, and emotional tactics head on. Voices of both regret emerge, with Chloe Cole’s story cutting through the noise, while callers offer memories and confusion from their own lives, sometimes blunt, sometimes hesitant, and never scripted. Urgency crackles beneath the conversations as Patrick centers truth, faith, and the pain caused by misinformation, inviting hard questions and honest reflection.   Audio: Trans is losing argument so feels unsafe and walks out -https://x.com/JP__75/status/2089113725101904177/video/1?s=46 (03:25) Audio: Detransitioner Chloe Cole laments her attempt to change her sex - https://x.com/scarlett4kids/status/2062736566150410608 (06:36) Audio: Trans Black Woman part 1 –https://x.com/KristenMeghan/status/2088106836016652503?s=20 (21:51) Betty – What are your morning devotions? (33:00) Deb – It is totally okay to be a tomboy, but to still be true to yourself as a woman. (44:19)
