Relevant Radio Announces New Morning Show and Programming Changes
The Mark Swartzberg Show debuts weekday mornings beginning June 8; Life is Worth Living, featuring Venerable Archbishop Fulton Sheen, joins the afternoon lineup.
Lincolnshire, Illinois – Relevant Radio is pleased to announce the launch of The Mark Swartzberg Show, a new LIVE and interactive morning program airing weekdays from 6-8am CT. Mark Swartzberg joins the Relevant Radio show lineup after concluding a successful career as a Wall Street financial analyst. The two-hour show debuts on Monday, June 8, 2026. Long-time Morning Air co-host Sarah Tafoya joins the new program on air and as in-studio producer, alongside producer Gaby Burke.
Mark is an enthusiastic convert to Catholicism, having been raised in the Jewish faith. He and his wife, Pam, are married with seven children and are lifelong residents of New York City – the nation’s #1 metro market. Mark serves on the Boards of Directors of Christendom College, the New York City Men’s Leadership Forum, and Good Counsel Homes.
Described in Mark’s own words as “real life, real people, in the street and in the Church,” the show will explore how God is at work in the ordinary circumstances of daily life. Through guest interviews and LIVE listener calls, Mark and his team take up recurring conversations on family life, conversion, education, and the saints among us – offering encouragement to Catholics as they begin their day.
“Today is a new day for Relevant Radio,” said Rev. Francis J. Hoffman, “Fr. Rocky,” Chairman and CEO of Relevant Radio. “We are very excited to announce the launch of The Mark Swartzberg Show in the mornings, and we remain committed to doing our very best to bring Christ to the world through the media, so that Jesus can save every soul.”
The new morning program follows the conclusion of Morning Air, the longest-running Relevant Radio show, which has been on the air since April 21, 2003. Relevant Radio is grateful to hosts John Morales and Glen Lewerenz, and the entire Morning Air broadcast team for their years of dedication and faithful service. Archived Morning Air content remains available on Relevant Radio digital platforms.
In anticipation of the beatification of Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, Relevant Radio is proud to announce that Life is Worth Living, featuring Archbishop Sheen, will air at 1pm CT beginning June 8, 2026, replacing Father Simon Says. Relevant Radio is grateful to Father Simon for his knowledge, insights, and humor over the years. Archived shows of Father Simon Says remain available on Relevant Radio digital platforms for all who wish to continue listening.
These programming changes usher in a new phase for Relevant Radio, which remains committed to LIVE, interactive programming that brings the Catholic Faith into everyday life.
