GRAND-CENTRAL RADIO ON JOY
Welcome to the listening library of the Grand-Central radio show for grandparents, hosted by Tim Huff, along with numerous insightful and inspiring guests. Each fifteen-minute broadcast originally aired live on JOY radio in southern Ontario (and was available globally via streaming). The listening library available here will grow as shows are produced; after each one has first aired “live” on JOY. Engaged and loving grandparents have proven over and over to be life-giving and life-changing in young lives throughout history. But the need for grandparents and all they have to offer has perhaps never been as great as it is today. The Grand-Central goals are to inspire, honour and help resource grandparents on their journey of goodness. We hope you are blessed as you listen in.
