The coffee is on. The newsroom lights are glowing. Somewhere down on Commercial Street, the bell above the door rings as another morning begins.
Welcome to Daybreak, Chesterton Radio’s daily morning companion—a thoughtful look at the news, culture, education, technology, and the enduring ideas shaping our world. Rather than racing through the headlines, we pause long enough to ask what they mean, where they came from, and why they matter.
Today’s broadcast brings together stories from Notre Dame and Catholic higher education, Benedictine College and the wider Newman movement, the life of the Church, science and technology, engineering, literature, old newspapers, and the unexpected discoveries that often become the best conversations.
As always, we try to see today’s events in the light of history, common sense, and the permanent things.
So pull up a chair on the Front Porch, open the morning paper, and join us for another sunrise conversation from the little station on Commercial Street in Atchison, Kansas.
