Chapter 6: How does Bing Crosby's involvement impact the radio program?
Thank you for calling me back. I am a Holy Cross priest in New York, and I want to put the family rosary back in the home.
Was that right? And how can I help you?
I've got the chance of a lifetime on Mutual Broadcasting Network. They're giving me 30 minutes of national airtime on Mother's Day. Your participation in that broadcast would increase the audience impact immeasurably.
Father, you have me. Write me a letter to confirm our conversation. Tell me what to do. You got a pen and paper to write down an address?
I've got something to write on. Go ahead.
Bing Crosby, care of Paramount Pictures. 5555 Melrose Avenue, Hollywood, California.
I'll write you there.
Great. I'm looking forward to your broadcast.

Chapter 7: What preparations are made for the Mother's Day broadcast?
Thank you for your work today.
That was a nightmare. These participants are self-conscious. And Mike's shy. We're missing every other word. Production is ragged. Timing is poor.
Definitely.
The pace uneven. It's terrible. We need hours more of rehearsal. This is the end for all of us. Will you still write me a letter of recommendation? Of course. You're a good stage manager. It's this program. How many stations will this reach tomorrow? Typically 30, but who knows what will happen now that it's a national holiday.
At this point, all we can do is go home and pray. And sleep.
If you can.
Oh, Francis. I can take being humiliated. But this is going to set the family rosary crusade back ten years. Can we cancel it? No. We have to go through with it. There were two men in Our Lady's life, Jesus and Saint Joseph. Let's ask them not to let her down tomorrow. They won't let her down. If she wants it, it'll succeed. Let's say the rosary while we walk.
We can end with a visit to the chapel. Good plan.
Where's the red light? When the red light flashes, we're on the air.
