Critical Midterm Call to Vote, Rays Fall Short & Movie Guide on Filmmaking Craft
Podcasts > The Bill Bunkley Show
Friday, October 30, 2026
Bill Bunkley returns from a family retreat in the Smoky Mountains on this Friday edition, reflecting on the anniversary of his brother Walter G. “Buzz” Bunkley’s home-going and the state of the nation just days before the midterm elections.
He praises the Tampa Bay Rays for a classy run that ended against the Milwaukee Brewers in the World Series, highlighting manager Kevin Cash and the strong Christian character on both teams.
The core of the show is an urgent call to vote on Tuesday: Bill stresses the high stakes for America’s future as a constitutional republic, urges theologically sound Christians and conservatives to turn out based on values and issues (not personalities), and shares Elon Musk’s warnings about potential long-term Democratic control. He also covers a major stock market sell-off that wiped out $1.5 trillion in value.
Caller Todd joins with a passionate prayer and encouragement to vote.
Dr. Ted Baehr (Movie Guide) offers a deeper look behind the scenes at the craft of successful filmmaking—covering jeopardy, structure, plot points, marketing, and typecasting—while encouraging support for the ministry.
