Chef, cookbook author and culinary influencer Anna Francese Gass is first up on the show today! Her new cooking series, "Instant Italian," premiers on FYI on Monday, March 10th at 9:30pm (EST) and will air for six weeks. Each 30-minute episode features several of her easy-to-make Italian dishes with a fresh, modern twist. Gass gives insight into the program, her upbringing, and how her Italian heritage has shaped her love for cooking.

Steve Shwetz, host of "Thru the Bible with Dr. J. Vernon McGee" (heard weekdays at 5am on WFIL), also checks in today :). Shwetz shares his testimony, role with Thru The Bible (including how he came to be the host of the program), and the "Bible Bus" journey which facilitates a person working through the entire Bible in five years. You can connect with the ministry at www.ttb.org.
