5. Coast to Coast AM Radio Program with Barrie Schwortz

This is a link to the YouTube version of the Coast to Coast AM radio program that Barrie Schwortz did on December 17, 2009. During the program he discussed some of the then-recent media claims being made about the Shroud. The program itself was over two hours long so it is broken into shorter segments online. Whoever posted the clips also took the time to illustrate the audio portion of the program with relevant visuals, so it is not just the audio but an excellent visual presentation as well. You will also find links to the other 11 parts of the program on the same page.
