[QUOTE="Basilus of Moro, post: 1515789, member: 22959"] You’ve captured an important thing that is difficult to summarize. There is a properly Orthodox way of presenting content, even sellable content. It’s tricky to know the edge, but there is an unmistakable impression. I think it’s key that the medium in no way distorts the content, but rather merely facilitates it. With regard to AFR, it appears that the format, the style, etc. gets in the way, and creates analogies with traditional broadcasting and Protestant radio networks. I get the same impression with Greek churches and their programs. They are moved and formed, at least by impression, by a marketing, business type mindset. It’s not organic enough, or simple enough. It’s dominated by a certain beuocracy, and jazzy spirit—Jokes and such abound in excess. This is something to consider again and again for those of us involved with pushing content, or books. God help us to follow the right course. If the aforementioned good examples are any guide, there should be a sober, simple, apocalyptic and prophetic character to such things. Lacking that, they seem self-moved. [/QUOTE]
