“Once upon a time, in a city far, far away (otherwise known as St. Louis), a few men with a big dream and even bigger prayers began a radio ministry that would last the test of time for 100 years …”

In a major milestone for Lutheran broadcasting, KFUO Radio (home of the Lutheran Ladies’ Lounge podcast) is celebrating 100 continuous years on the air this month. In this trivia-rich Story Time episode, Sarah relates key moments from a century of audio excellence.

From its launch in a drafty attic studio to its Lutheran Hour glory days to a landmark 1998 legal victory for religious liberty, KFUO’s history has been marked by boldness, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to the Gospel.
