On November 6, 1998, The Herald of Christian Science Spanish radio program won a second-place medal at the "Fiesta de los Medios," in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This award is a very prestigious one and is similar to the Emmy awards in the United States. It is exclusively for radio and television. The Herald was selected for this honor out of about sixty-five programs nominated in the category of religion. The program was originally submitted for nomination by the station manager of the radio station in Buenos Aires, Argentina, that broadcasts the Spanish Herald.
During the televised awards ceremony, a diploma and medal were received by the chairman of the Herald Broadcasting Committee in Buenos Aires, who accepted them on behalf of Enrique Smeke, producer and host of the Spanish radio program. A Herald staff member spoke with Mr. Smeke about the program. Excerpts from this interview follow.
Herald: The Herald is published as a magazine that is distributed in many countries. Why a radio program?
