In this week’s McKay Interview, the last before the summer break, Michael's guest is David Willey. For more than 40 years, the definitive voice of the BBC in Rome.
They talk about the legacy of Pope Francis; what is anticipated of the new Pope, Leo; and some of the big issues facing the Roman Catholic Church, like dealing properly with paedophile priests, the poor state of the Church’s finances and the dearth of young priests
*Message from Michael: It is unsure if The McKay Interview will reappear on World Radio Switzerland after the summer break. You are probably aware that WRS will close at the end of 2025 unless new ownership is secured. However, you will still be able to find me on Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts and other leading platforms.
It has been a wonderful experience working with WRS, Mark and Katt over all these years!
