Your Weekend Show

By Robert S Biermann

“YOUR WEEKEND SHOW” is the culmination of a dream Bob Biermann had in the mid-1980s when he first realized the world-wide impact of International Shortwave radio. Over the years he has wanted to launch such a program, but the timing was not just right. As the nature of Shortwave has changed in recent decades, a Magazine type show, such as “YOUR WEEKEND SHOW,” fills a definite programming void now, more than ever.

The journey to the Cross and our Hope

The journey to the Cross and our Hope

On this episode Bob takes a break from the news of the day and turns our focus to the good news that is the story of Easter. Bob takes us on a journey back in time to Jerusalem to be there when Jesus is mocked, beaten, carries His cross, dies, was buried, and rose again. Bob shares some special music he hopes you will find a blessing as well.

A SPECIAL NOTICE TO THOSE THAT HEAR THIS PODCAST. 

As many may already know, “Your Weekend Show” is now “Truth to Ponder.” The program is no longer just a weekend program, but it is now Monday-Friday. You can find the daily program at: https://anchor.fm/bob-biermann

Effective after April 4, 2021, this Podcast will only be at the aforementioned site and will no longer be uploaded here.

Bob opens with the question “What fills your mind?” How much time do we spend with negative news, the filth and lies of the world, “The Daily News,” and Social Media? Probably more than most of us would want to admit. Today, Bob shares some serious thoughts about how to balance our time, and how to be more effective agents of change in a world that seems to have gone insane.

Finding Hope when the news seems hopeless

Finding Hope when the news seems hopeless

Finding balance in the news today is not easy. Trying to balance common sense with fear is also not an easy task to accomplish in the age of coronavirus. Since the beginning of both the radio program and podcast the goal has been both to inform but also provide hope. Bob shares some of what you have suggested, and where God is leading.

Despite what many people think, there is still real hope!

The Friday and Weekend Edition of “Truth to Ponder” is both timely reminder of the times ahead, but most important, a message of hope for those that will listen. This edition completes the first 6 months of our daily broadcast and podcast, and Bob shares his thoughts about the direction the program will be heading. It will still bring truth, but most important, hope.

A Trip down Under with George Christensen

A Trip down Under with George Christensen

The Friday and Weekend Edition of “Truth to Ponder” Bob welcomes his guest Member of the Australian Parliament, George Christensen. George is both a Christian and a Conservative, so he gets lots of negative press as many Christians and Conservative do. Remember, the Bible warns that Christians will be hated by the world. On this edition Bob and George talk about the same very issues troubling much of the world today from the pandemic to the tech tyranny, suppression of speech, and the powerful billionaire oligarchies that dominate much of the world and technology.

Triumphing in Tribulation-Opportunities in Oppression

Triumphing in Tribulation-Opportunities in Oppression

The Friday and Weekend Edition of “Truth to Ponder” is both a dire reminder of the times ahead, but also a message of hope and survival. Christians and Conservatives are now in the sights of those on the left, and a time of unprecedented persecution, oppression, and social de-platforming has already begun.  Bob reminds us of how even Christians can easily get caught in the trap of believing and sharing misinformation and how that misinformation can hurt the cause of truth and the Church. This deception will be used as the excuse to even close bank accounts. On the second half of the program, he shares some thoughts about the future of both using radio and the podcast, plus some incredible opportunity ahead in spite of what is ahead.

It finally got here. 1984.

It finally got here. 1984.

The Friday and Weekend Edition of “Truth to Ponder” is both a dire warning and a true message of redemption and hope. On a steady glide path, the entire world is on a collision course with a time of tribulation and judgement that can’t be escaped. World leaders are being blinded by power and corruption and daily mock and test a Holy and Righteous God. Is the church ready? On the second part of the program, Bob shares a true story of hope and redemption that will be an encouragement for you, regardless of you circumstances. God will take care of His people, if we fully yield and trust Him in every way.

Priorities, Politics, and Preparedness

Priorities, Politics, and Preparedness

One thing is clear, politics will never be the Savior of Mankind. We have seen politicians lie, be duplicitous, and placed their political objectives over the people they are supposed to serve. We have also learned that people of faith are increasingly being marginalized. Bob explores how we prepare, and how we fulfill our calling in Christ in this increasingly hostile world.

We made it to the weekend. Time for something positive…

We made it to the weekend. Time for something positive…

What a week this past week has been. Perhaps it’s time for something a bit more useful and even a bit uplifting. Last Weekend Bob was in Lubbuck, Texas to visit a church. As many listeners know, Bob is also in Ordain Ministry, as serves as a Bishop in the Reformed Anglican Church (http://racus.org). Bob traveled to receive a new church into the Reformed Anglican Church, Christ Church in Lubbuck, TX. As a part of that trip, Bob was a guest on a local radio program aired on the local News Talk Station, KFYO AM 790 and 95.1 FM. The  Program is called "Reason, Religion, and Reality" and airs from Noon until 2 PM local time. Bob was a guest in the second hour, and for this weekend, Bob would like to share some highlights from his guest appearance.

Opportunity, Obedience, and Blessing

Opportunity, Obedience, and Blessing

Today Bob brings a program of hope in a very confused world. This past year has changed not only the country, but our entire world. Will we ever be the same? The program starts with a memory from 5 years ago this very weekend, when the program originated from the Caribbean nation of St. Kitts and Nevis. Bob shares a missed opportunity. He then welcomes his close friend, the Rt. Rev. Ian Anderson.  Bishop Anderson is a fellow clergyman with Bob in the Reformed Anglican Church. The two of them discuss the division in our nation and even in our churches and reminds us of the vital part the church has played in the United States for freedom. We believe you will find this program inspiring and helpful in these unusual times.

Fear Not, Hope is NOT Gone.

Fear Not, Hope is NOT Gone.

The events of this past Wednesday in Washington, DC (January 6, 2021) shocked and amazed many people in the United States and the World. How could this happen? Was any of this staged or planned? How could something that was meant for good go so wrong? It may take months to ever find out, or we may never find out at all. For many Christians, they feel that hope is now gone; but is it?  For years, Bob Biermann has been warning Christians to prepare for a vastly different time. The truth is Social Media will now clamp down on both Conservative and Christian content. True Christians will be increasingly distrusted and pressured, and finally will learn you can’t change the world at the ballot box, as the ballot box is a mere reflection of our culture and corruption. This is one of the reasons that the Program “Truth to Ponder” is aired on Shortwave Radio, as the big tech platforms will be increasingly hostile to the message. Bob welcomes his guest, John Tayloe, the president of Voice of Hope Radio Ministry.

The Harbinger Returns…

The Harbinger Returns…

Is Bible Prophecy unfolding before our eyes? On this Edition of Truth to Ponder, Bob welcomes Jonathan Cahn. Jonathan is known for his prophetic book “The Harbinger” That book became an instant New York Times best seller and brought him to national and international prominence. The Harbinger was followed by The Mystery of the Shemitah, The Book of Mysteries, The Paradigm, and The Oracle, all of them, New York Times Best Sellers. He was named, along with Billy Graham and Keith Greene, one of the top forty spiritual leaders of the last forty years to have radically impacted the world. Known as a prophetic voice of this generation, he has spoken on Capitol Hill, at the United Nations, and to millions of people around the world. Today he shares his insights on Truth to Ponder.

Why is the Truth so hard to find?

Why is the Truth so hard to find?

Since the beginning of the Pandemic, we have been hearing all types of “numbers” in regard to the Corona Virus. From infections to cases to deaths, the media has done their best to keep you in fear, but why? It seems that every time that “positive” statistics come out that go against the “fear” narrative, those stories, from reputable and distinguished institutions and sources, get pulled down by social media and even ignored by mainstream news outlets. Bob digs into some numbers that are real and can be found for you to review. It is a true eye opener.

Preparing for a New Beginning

Preparing for a New Beginning

This weekend marks the beginning of the “count-down” to Christmas known as the Season of Advent. On the first part of the program, Bob reflects on where we have become as a society and world. On the second half of the program, Bob turns his attention to helping us understand this very special time of the year.

The Prophets and Profits of a Pandemic

The Prophets and Profits of a Pandemic

Many people are deeply concerned about this worldwide pandemic. They are often fearful of what the future holds for them and their loved ones. Sadly, there are many that will fear the pandemic than they fear God. The Bible teaches that the “fear of God” is the beginning of Wisdom and of Understanding. On this edition of the program, Bob shares his thoughts about not being deceived or taken advantage of, but most important, to find hope in these very troubled times.

Memories of a Time Gone By

Memories of a Time Gone By

There was a time that radio made a huge impact on our world and our lives. Even though radio still commands a large audience globally, things have changed over this past half century or more. AM Radio is now celebrating around 100 years of service. Along with AM and FM radio, Shortwave Radio, in use for at least 90 years, has a unique place in history and even today. For decades shortwave radio was the link to many oppressed nations, and a way to communicate to a world-wide audience. On this program Bob welcomes Dan Robinson. Dan was with the Voice of America for 34 years, with 4 years as the Whitehouse Correspondent. Dan shares some of his memories and his thoughts about International Radio.

A Political Break-A-Way

A Political Break-A-Way

On the Weekend Edition of Truth to Ponder, Bob takes a break from “political parties,” and focuses on some of the strange issues that are increasingly defining our western world, and its implications soon. How did we get to this point? Can we ever turn back?

Nov 06, 202059:00
Thoughts from the Heart

Thoughts from the Heart

On the Friday and Weekend edition of Truth to Ponder, Bob takes some time to share some various thoughts on his mind as we leave the month of October behind, and enter the month of November. What a year 2020 has been, and how many of our plans were so radically changed. Bob also shares his thoughts on can we even trust much of the media for our news and information.

Oct 30, 202059:00
Thinking about the future

Thinking about the future

On the Friday and Weekend edition of the program, Bob shares his thoughts on using both new and traditional media for effective outreach. This program marks the 40th episode of “Truth to Ponder.” In these 8 weeks Bob has covered a number of topics, but today wants you to understand his concerns for the future of how this program and others can be heard. The Tech Giants are increasingly showing hostility to Christians on their platforms, so it is time for a plan.

Thoughts, Plans, and Observations.

Thoughts, Plans, and Observations.

On this Friday edition of the program Bob takes some time to share some thoughts and observations from the heart. Friday, October 16th, marked Bob’s 66th Birthday. On the first half of the program he shares some thoughts about our world and the increasingly rapid changes. On the second half of the program, Bob shares the story and circumstances of his birth. We hope that you will find this program a source of hope and encouragement in such a time as this.

Oct 16, 202059:30
Media Options for our time.

Media Options for our time.

A talk about effective use of media, and some great resources. On the Friday and Weekend Edition of Truth to Ponder, Bob welcomes Pastor Joseph Jacowitz.  Born in New York City into a conservative Jewish family. He was converted to Christ in 1976 while serving in the U.S. Marine Corps as a marksmanship instructor. At the time he was preparing to attend rabbinical seminary when discharged from the Marines. He has been the pastor of Christ Bible Church in Pleasanton, CA, since 1990. He is the President of First Love Ministries (www.firstlovepublications.org, www.firstlovemissions.org and www.firstloveradio.org), and is the Pastor-at-Large with Family Radio (www.familyradio.org).

Professional Paid Liars, and Unprecedented Power Grabs

Professional Paid Liars, and Unprecedented Power Grabs

Where do you get your news, and can you trust what you are told? Bob explores that and digs past the headlines and hysteria to share some cold hard facts about Corona related lockdowns, politics, and power grabs. It is now blatantly obvious that this “Pandemic” was not as originally claimed, but it has been used to suppress populations, ruin economies, and empower a ruling class. You need to know the truth. We HAVE been lied to!

Oct 02, 202056:26
Real Hope in Pandemic and Strange Times

Real Hope in Pandemic and Strange Times

On the Friday edition Bob brings back his guest from Monday and Tuesday, Rev. Dr. Timothy Gahles. The first two programs of this week focused on what could be happening with using COVID-19 as a gateway to some type of “mark” to show you are “safe.” We live in a time that is unprecedented, yet we should not be in a state of fear. In spite of all the difficulties, there is hope.

Pondering the Headlines that Impact our Lives

Pondering the Headlines that Impact our Lives

There is so much happening in the news today that it is often hard to keep up. Bob spends some time looking at some of the stories influencing our lives and digs for the truth in a sea of intentional misinformation and deceit. From Black Lives Matters to Climate Change, Bob breaks it down in easy to understand terms.

Home Invasion, Tech Tyrants, and Remembering 9/11/2001

Home Invasion, Tech Tyrants, and Remembering 9/11/2001

This weekend Bob welcomes back the Rev. Dr. Timothy Gahles. Timothy was on Bob’s new program, “Truth to Ponder” on Tuesday of this past week and the response was phenomenal, so Bob invited him back again.  He worked 9 years on Wall St. and is a 9/11 survivor of the attack in New York City in 2001. In his spiritual journey he has travelled the gamut of Christian Churches and landed as an Anglican Priest and Vice President of Chaplaincy in a Retirement Community for the past 13 years. He has studied Illness, suffering death, and dying in early Church history and how to minister to the Image of God in man effectively. In addition, he is a Certified Bio Ethicist and Grief Specialist. He is the proud father of 6 children, husband to a wonderful wife, lover of rare old books and as a hobby, loves to rebind/fix books. His life experience is a treasure to help each and every one of us.

The Politics of this Pandemic...are we doing the right things?

The Politics of this Pandemic...are we doing the right things?

Once again, Bob delves into “The Politics of a Pandemic,” and shares some readily available information that seems to get ignored in the medias push for panic at all costs. Of course, this virus can be very harmful, but what it really behind the numbers? Do Facemasks work, and what about gloves and goggles?

Also, this past week Bob launched his new weekday radio show and Podcast called “Truth to Ponder”. For this weekend’s show, Bob has decided to “merge” both the Friday edition of “Truth to Ponder” with this weekend’s “Your Weekend Show.” If you wonder about what the real truth is about the numbers in this pandemic, you need to hear this weekend’s show.

The Coronavirus, we HAVE been here before!

The Coronavirus, we HAVE been here before!

First, wearing a face covering was totally unnecessary, then it became a symbol of “we are in this together,” now it is the only way to stop the spread---until there is a vaccine. Which is it? Since the beginning of this pandemic we have been moving the goal posts all over the field. There is an “official narrative” that you must believe, or you are silenced. The Tech Tyrants such as Google, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and others demand you to fall in line with the “party line” or be silenced, shadow banned, or banished.

The truth is this is NOT the first “Novel Coronavirus.” In 2003 and part of 2004 there was a SARS-CoV virus that spread from China to 30 countries in the world. What was different then compared to SARS-CoV-2 today? What did we learn from the first SARS-CoV? We learned much, and now those in charge are willfully ignoring the incredible amount of information, research, and data that was documented about the spread and control of this strain of virus. Can you guess what was concluded to be an effective preventative and treatment?

Bob shares from these official archived sources that you can find for yourself. There is something about this virus that has worldwide political implications and forced changes on our lives and conversations. Also, on the program Bob Shares the news about the new weekday show coming on Monday August 10th.

Tech Giant Tyranny and Censorship on the rise! Welcome to the Internet Ghetto.

Tech Giant Tyranny and Censorship on the rise! Welcome to the Internet Ghetto.

If you share the wrong “political” thing on Facebook™, post a video that goes against the Leftist narrative on YouTube™, or say the wrong “un-woke” thing on Twitter™, you will be censored, shadow banned, and even banished. The gargantuan tech tyrants are now crushing conservative and Christian speech on an ever-increasing basis. The concept of the “Open Marketplace of Ideas” is totally dead on the monopoly-controlled Internet Sites. How did this happen, and how do we find a way to keep a factual and truthful message flowing?

For too long people have moved their lives, their jobs, their political thoughts, and even their faith to platforms like Facebook Live and YouTube. Now that they have walked away from traditional platforms like Radio, they are now under the “Lordship” of the Googles and Facebooks of this world. In this world where these tech monsters consider people of faith second class citizens, and those that might challenge anything you are told by the mainstream media about the Coronavirus, you are labeled as either a wacko conspiracy theorist, or a medical quack. Daily, videos and posts are taken down.

For over 5 years “Your Weekend Show” has been airing on International Shortwave, and even as a Podcast. Program Host, Bob Biermann, has been deeply concerned about this trend, and has decided to launch a daily program to air on Shortwave Radio, and if able without censorship, even as a Podcast. We truly live in a perilous time, where your constitutional freedoms can be taken by a Governor’s proclamation, and your speech inhibited by tech giants. Make no mistake, it is about an election, and the control of YOUR life, and even your thoughts.

What is our biggest threat…COVID, debt, or fear?

What is our biggest threat…COVID, debt, or fear?

This weekend Bob takes on two issues with two close friends. On the first half of the program we look at this strange world in which we live, and how in less than half a year’s time our economy has been tanked, neighbor has turned against neighbor over wearing a face covering in a public place, protests a riots have left major US cities charred and vandalized, and the mental well-being of many has been placed in jeopardy. Was all the response to the pandemic worth the price? Did we really save lives? And can the “numbers” even be trusted. Bob welcomes to the program Jim Shaw, who is both a “self-made” man, but also has answered a far higher calling in sharing some good news in these strange times.

On the second half of the program, Bob welcomes another friend, Peter Gnass, who is a former professor of Economics at the University of South Carolina, but walked away as what the Universities today espouse is a corrupt Keynesian economic scheme, based on massive debt. Peter explains what this debt really means, and what to expect going forward.

Summertime Music Memories and More

Summertime Music Memories and More

This weekend Bob takes a break from all the stressful news impacting our world today. From the worldwide pandemic to the protests in the United States, Bob takes us on a musical journey of summer times from long ago. He shares some of his childhood memories of being at the beach at his grandparent’s house, and the fun, the responsibilities, and the music that shaped many of his memories. If you are of the baby boom generation, you will probably remember. Even though there were “difficult times” in the 1960s and even the 1970s, people seemed more able to face the challenges, plus we were not bombarded by 24/7 news and social media. So, for this 4th of July weekend, take a musical journey to a far simpler time.

Discernment and Wisdom

Discernment and Wisdom

This weekend Bob covers 2 topics for the program. First, it seems that many people, because of the Internet, become “experts” on many topics. While the Internet has a vast wealth of information and knowledge, it also has a large volume of “misinformation” and fake news. Often people only hear what they want to hear, or they lack the ability to fully reason and think for themselves. They can easily be manipulated and controlled. Bob gives some examples on how legitimate facts can be used to control a modified narrative. On the second half of the program Bob looks back into history on those that controlled the news, arts, information, and entertainment, and as a result brought forth a time of misery, war, destruction, and death.

Welcome to the “Ministry of Truth”

Welcome to the “Ministry of Truth”

If you ever read George Orwell’s novel “1984” it is a chilling tale of a time when a totalitarian government ruled in the free world. Terms, like the “Ministry of Truth” where the powerful arms of propaganda, using media, art, entertainment, news and education. This weekend, Bob looks at the very strange things happening in our world with our media, our education, the arts, and our media in light of the current pandemic and the riots in many major cities. Is there a difference between “truth” and “facts?”  Bob explores what he sees on this powerful program. You may be surprised we are closer than you would believe to living in Orwell’s “1984.” Big brother is watching and demands your submission.

The New Weekend Show, The Magazine

The New Weekend Show, The Magazine

For five years Bob Biermann has been producing “Your Weekend Show” each week. Started in March of 2015, the program was launched as a weekly “radio magazine” primarily for an International Shortwave Radio audience. Over time, the show moved into a weekly “themed format,” dealing generally with a life issue, shared life experience, memories of times past, and where we can find hope when things are uncertain. Those were the core values of the program, and always will be, however, after five years it is time to take a hard look on the changes in the audience, and better using additional technology.

This weekend Bob launches a new version of “Your Weekend Show-The Magazine.” This program will feature a number of guests that produce podcasts, and some new talent that will be launching a podcast soon. On this weekend Bob welcomes Frank Salvato, the producer of the “Underground USA” podcast. Frank will share his thoughts on the unrest in our nation. On the second half of the program, Bob welcomes back his good friend Bob Parks of Black and Blonde Media, with his take on the politics of the COVID-19, and the impact of our current civil unrest.

Time for a Change? Future unveiled for “Your Weekend Show”

Time for a Change? Future unveiled for “Your Weekend Show”

For five years Bob Biermann has been producing “Your Weekend Show” each week. Started in March of 2015, the program was launched as a weekly “radio magazine” primarily for an International Shortwave Radio audience. Over time, the show moved into a weekly “themed format,” dealing generally with a life issue, shared life experience, memories of times past, and where we can find hope when things are uncertain. Those were the core values of the program, and always will be, however, after five years it is time to take a hard look on the changes in the audience, and better using additional technology.

Since the fall of 2019, Bob has wrestled with how to keep this program alive, keep it relevant, and how to expand to a larger and more informative and helpful program. In addition, how best to find additional outlets for the program. In the past year, the program has been growing as a podcast on many popular platforms.

After much prayer and talking it over with many of his close broadcasting friends, Bob has decided to make some changes in this program and return to the original concept of a “Radio Magazine.” To accomplish this, Bob has reached out to several people he has known in the broadcast and news industry, who Bob believes have quality content and commentary that needs to be heard.

This weekend Bob winds up yet another chapter of “Your Weekend Show,” while preparing to add some incredibly talented and knowledgeable additional voices to the program on the first weekend in June. For this week, enjoy some memories and forgotten songs, and a preview of things to come.

Are you “ESSENTIAL,” Or are you “NON-ESSENTIAL?” Do you even matter anymore?

Are you “ESSENTIAL,” Or are you “NON-ESSENTIAL?” Do you even matter anymore?

During these past few months, the terms “essential” and “non-essential” have been a rallying cry, and a source of pain and suffering for many. Faceless bureaucrats, elected politicians, and health officials (All of whom are considered essential and getting their full paycheck and benefits!) Have decided who can make a living, and who should lose their jobs, their life savings, and their businesses. When this is over, many may even lose their homes. All these mandates were made while claiming it is “for your safety” though millions of families are being ruined.

Bob takes this weekend’s program to look at the facts as we see them coming together now, and wonders if the cure will be more devastating than the disease we claim to be fighting. While many can survive these government lockdowns, shutdowns, and furloughs, many people simply cannot, and will not. Many will face financial ruin, substance abuse from depression, along with broken homes and shattered hopes dreams. In time it is inevitable that suicide will spike. Are these people lives and livelihoods less important than a politician? Do these hurting people’s lives even matter to the politicians and bureaucrats? Even more despicable, are some politicians using this “Pandemic” more as a “Plan-demic” for political gain at people’s expense?

Bob analyses where we are today and starts a series on what we must do next to survive. Remember, to God, all His children are “essential.”

May 21, 202053:46
WHO DO YOU TRUST?

WHO DO YOU TRUST?

As the world adapts to where we have been, and where we may need to be, the most important question is “Who do you trust?” It is obvious the “experts” got more wrong than right in recent months. Talking heads on TV and social media, with an agenda, worked hard to push panic and fear, dwelling ONLY on the negative, hoping (breathlessly) you will buy in to their hype. 

Our world and nation will take more time to heal from this pandemic, and not from the virus itself, but the fear, uncertainty, and economic devastation left in its wake. Many people will be scared for life. For those that take the words of Jesus as seriously as they claim, why do so many live with constant crippling fear, when Jesus says, “Fear Not?”

While our nation and world look for a “restart,” maybe it is time to restart your relationship with the one you can always trust, Jesus Christ.

FINDING HOPE AFTER A TROUBLED TIME

FINDING HOPE AFTER A TROUBLED TIME

This worldwide pandemic has taken more than just an economic toll on many families and small businesses. The fear of a virus (that never lived up to its hype) has caused many in this nation to be thrown into a state of paralyzing fear. There are people that may literally acquire the physiological prison of agoraphobia, the fear of leaving home, or slide into a deep depression. Ruined businesses may bankrupt young families and destroy many homes and marriages. The uptick of addition during this time will be a hefty price to pay.

Many Churches, living in their 4 walls, discovered what it means when you cannot gather. Many were totally unprepared for such a reality as this and may never recover. Even young children may have fears going forward.

On this weekend’s show Bob puts these long weeks of the pandemic into perspective, and reminds us of the fragility of our lives and livelihoods, and how easy it is to be herded into the two groups of “essential,” and “non-essential.” How do we learn, grow, prepare, and overcome this, and move into the future? Bob shares his thoughts and where we can find true hope on this weekend’s show.
