Focus


Bob Waliszewski
Director
Fifteen years after he began his Plugged In tenure, Bob ) is Focus on the Family's Director of Media and Culture. His weekly "Plugged In Movie Review" radio feature is heard on hundreds of U.S. radio stations.
In about 1989 Focus on the Family moved from So Cal to Colorado Springs. I was living there then, as I co- owned two radio stations, KCMN  & KCBR. It rocked the community to have Focus bring an army of committed Christians into the city. Before long, 1500 employees worked on the Focus campus just across from the Air Force Academy, which is one of the top tourist attractions in the state.  As you can imagine, Focus needed lots of radio and tv talent and eventually hired, at least part-time, almost everyone I knew in the Christian radio community.  So, I ended up having lots of friends on campus and still do. Monday I stopped in to see  a friend and was able to sit down with Bob W.  who is director of media and culture. 
He has agreed to be a core interview in our upcoming Shattered documentary. He knows his stuff and knows how to deliver a sound bite. This is a nice addition, and the project is coming together nicely for a 10.31 launch.
