Straight Talk

Straight Talk

Hosted by Jeanne Thill, Straight Talk brings topics of concern to the forefront, directing questions to experts and theologians to help Catholics address issues that give them angst. Jeanne Thill is a regular contributor on Iowa Catholic Radio during the semi-annual Care-a-Thon, host of Read the Bible, and a guest-host for Jon Leonetti in the Morning. Her interest in issues of the day, willingness to ask the tough questions, and laid-back style help to reduce the biggest issues to palatable, easy-to-digest nuggets. Jeanne serves as the Executive Director of the Catholic Tuition Organization, and her vocation as mother has yielded five grandchildren.
