radio preacher

Wireless sermon deliverer

A radio preacher is a Christian minister who broadcasts sermons and religious programming over the radio.

The term often carries connotations of fire-and-brimstone oratory, emotional appeals for donations, and conservative evangelical theology: He had the cadence of a radio preacher warning about hellfire.

The format flourished in mid-twentieth-century America and remains culturally significant even as audiences have shifted to television and podcasts.
