Across the golden age of radio, the story of Joan of Arc was told again and again—each broadcast attempting to capture something that refuses to be contained.
Was she a mystic? A soldier? A political instrument? Or something far more dangerous—a saint who could not be controlled?
In this Chesterton Radio Deep Dive, we enter a collection of rare Old Time Radio dramatizations and discover not just a life, but a confrontation. These productions wrestle with her voices, her authority, her trial, and the fire that did not silence her.
Why did hardened men follow a peasant girl into war? Why did learned judges fear her answers? And why, centuries later, does her story still feel unresolved?
This is not a biography.
It is an encounter.
Keep the signal alive.
