Podcasts > The Bill Bunkley Show
Friday, October 2, 2026
Bill Bunkley opens this special Friday edition celebrating his and Mrs. Bunkley’s (Tony) 33rd wedding anniversary. He reflects on their journey through his 2018 AML leukemia diagnosis, open-heart surgery, and the blessing of becoming grandparents, while looking forward to dinner at historic Malio’s Steakhouse and Game 1 of the ALCS between the Tampa Bay Rays and New York Yankees.
Breaking news covers two potential Iranian-inspired incidents: a suspected hijacking of a FlyDubai flight to Tel Aviv and five individuals apprehended near a UK air base housing U.S. bombers. President Trump pledges to hit Iran “very hard” if links are confirmed, alongside new U.S. Treasury sanctions targeting Hamas financing networks.
Callers Ogie and Todd offer warm anniversary congratulations and discuss faith, leadership, and foreign policy.
Zachary Metler (Focus on the Family) encourages parents to engage children in spiritual conversations and share personal faith journeys.
Dr. Ted Baehr (Movie Guide) reviews the biblical epic Daniel and the Fiery Furnace, the Western Angel and the Bad Man (Angel Studios), highlights Christian themes in a Wile E. Coyote film, and discusses a Gen Z trend of rejecting modern tech for older devices.
