Some of the over 200 programs he produced covered topics from "Emergency Response" to "Opera Music" to "Christmas Specials" to "God and Religion" to "Pets and Animals" to "Arts and Literature." Some of his programs even featured music performances and children! All the while, touching the hearts and minds of many people and supplying important information all over the world!
