FIP keeps me wide awake and enjoying whatever I'm doing. i got addicted when living in Paris, and i've come to rely on its charmingly random, mellow music to transport me from my Berkeley desk back to the 13th arrondisement. Additionally, i am convinced that FIP has psychic powers, since i've been listening to Hendrix's "Hey Joe" on repeat all day, and when I tuned into Fip while writing this review, what was playing but Popa Chubby's version of the song! Weird.

Their voice, their chosen words to explain a piece etc. However lately I got some frustrated with their choice of music which lately insistes more on oriental pieces which I also like but I miss the variety. Have their presenters changed? Something is different there these days.

Extremely Biblical. All teaching and information given on FR does adhere to what is in the Bible…read more This includes some of the "unpopular" but Biblically correct doctrines such as Election (Pre-destination), divorce, apostacy in the local churches, and the role of women in the church. Harold Camping, one of the founders, and long time President of FR was a strict Biblicist and he was very critical of all the false teaching that exists today. I believe this apostacy is a sign that we are in the end times. As Brother Camping had pointed out "judgment begins in the house of God".

I myself when I was a child disbelieved his statement about predestination but as an adult I was able to find and read the exact scripture in the bible. Praise God for this radio station.

As wacky and erroneous as Harold Camping's prediction about the End Times turned out to be, still I think this Biblical "expert" is on to something. Reading the Bible, and being familiar with what Revelations does say about how things wrap up on planet earth, it is hard not to realize that many scriptural tidings seem to be coming true. Family Radio may be wrong about some specific time lines, however I don't think God appreciates all this haggling over End Time dates. Many false prophets will arise: Matthew 24:5 "For many will come in my name, saying, I am Christ, and will mislead many." Matthew 24:11 "And many false prophets will arise, and will mislead many." (these would include the worship of money, fame, etc.,) Wars, natural disasters and calamities will increase: "Matthew 24:6 "And you will be hear ing of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end." Matthew 24:7 "For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes." Christians will suffer persecutions & tribulations for their faith: "Matthew 24:8-9 "But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs. Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations on account of my name." Most especially, when The Word is preached throughout the world: "Matthew 24:14 "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a witness to all the nations, and then the end shall come." Therefore, I will give some Yelp credit to Harold Camping and Family Radio, who are at least trying to warn the great unwashed heathens, disbelieving nay-sayers and besmirchers that Judgment Day may be coming. Whether it is the "quiet Judgment" that occurred on May 21, 2011 or the Big One that now Harold Camping says will happen in October, the main thing is: save some souls before they are flung into the Lake of Fire forever. Let's give Family Radio a little credit for that.
