Hip-hop artist Lecrae, Dave Spadaro (Eagles Insider) + Bill Darpino (Creation Concerts)

A jam-packed show today! We start with WFIL Production Director Doug Schaub checking in by phone to test and confirm the brand new phone system is working in & through the brand new WFIL sound board--and indeed it is! This is good news, as we have three guests lined up during the show that we need that connection to be working for :). Dave Spadaro, Eagles Insider for many years, bats leadoff to give his take on various & sundry Birds-related storylines including their joint practices with the New England Patriots, new head coach Nick Sirianni, and the upcoming season. You can find the Eagles Insider podcast at www.philadelphiaeagles.com (among others) and check him out on Twitter (@EaglesInsider) and Instagram (@theeaglesinsider). Bill Darpino, who has been a key figure in Creation Concerts' history (including the 40-year old Creation Festival itself) calls in to chat about tomorrow night's big concert with For King & Country, Lecrae, and several other artists at the Mann (tickets at www.creationconcerts.com). Darpino also gives a rundown on other artists coming through this fall, including Casting Crowns, Matthew West, Crowder and Zach Williams. Capping off the show is multi-Grammy & Dove Award winning hip-hop artist Lecrae. We cover a lot of ground in our first-ever conversation, ranging from Lecrae's testimony and music (including the latest album "Restoration" and his newest song ("Holupwait")) to his record label (Reach Records), books (the newer being I Am Restored: How I Lost My Religion But Found My Faith), and philanthropic work he is involved with--and of course, the concert itself tomorrow night! More information can be found at www.lecrae.com and www.reachrecords.com.  Tim also shares a few thoughts about today being the first time he has done the show from the very spot/studio he did his final show on sister station AM 990 (then) WZZD on April 2, 2004--over 17 years ago.
