We could tell our stories, create "followers", find customers and maybe even get famous...All for Free. But then the music stopped. And we found out it was all a myth.

All around the nation the gambling industry is trying to capture Governors and State Legislatures in the web of "sports betting". But what happens when the gambling industry goes bust?

Back in 1989, one of the leading experts on legalized gambling wrote about the collapse of the "Third Wave" of gambling expansion in America. He predicted the last days of the industry would begin once sports betting was legalized everywhere.

Is that day now here? A conversation you won't hear anywhere else is happening right now on The Public Square®. Please join us and tell a friend.

"I am a pastor and I listened with interest to your recent broadcast. Here is my question: What can the average church member do to bring change in this area?

In 1989, the late George H.W. Bush was President of the United States and The Public Square® radio program began with a 2-minute daily program on a single station.

Today we turn back the clock to the very first long format program we recorded in 2009. The archive vault is open and we start with show #1 on The Public Square®. Join us for a fascinating look back on one of the longest running radio programs in America - The Public Square®.
