Here’s today’s dispatch from the crossroads of faith, media and culture.

John Tesh swings. A reminder that the positive musician and host of the syndicated radio show Intelligence for Your Life is celebrating the feel-good sound of the Big Band Era with the release of his new album straightforwardly-enough called John Tesh: Big Band, a similarly-themed PBS special and a Big Band-themed live tour scheduled for this spring and summer.  He’s come a long way from Entertainment Tonight.
