Transplant Ministries wants to be there to encourage quality christian media. As it says in Malachi 1, God demands our best sacrifices, however in order to determine what the Best is, we first need to see what the Worst is.
Captain's Club - BBNradio.org
The Captain's Club is a program for children of all ages, produced by the Bible Broadcasting Network, and hosted by Captain Chesterpeake and Sparkle. The program contains an exciting episode from the adventures of "The Sugar Creek Gang," narrated by Bill Collins. There are riddles in the middle and then comes Uncle Charlie with "Storytime," featuring dramatized stories that teach how to make moral decisions based on the Word of God.

It's also very poorly produced. I mean there comes a time when we have to look at media that has The Creator of Creativity's name on it and say..."Wait a Minute. What in the world are you thinking, why are you giving God a limped creature, like The Captains Club"
The truth is that "The Captains Club" is one of the worst Radio Drama's I have ever heard in my life. It airs on the BBN network which is a low budget Hymn and Preacher Radio Station, the only reason I found it was because for the first two seconds I thought it was an episode of Adventures in Odyssey then I listened to the third second. I wanted to post a link so you could hear the terrible acting, hissing microphones and church organ music as as Time dissolve but I could not find any more information on the program or downloads. It really would amuse you. The best part of the whole show and I say that with Sarcasm, is when the Captain starts screaming a bible verse telling the kids to remember it...A FRIEND LOVES AT ALL TIMES A FRIEND LIVES AT ALL TIMES SAY IT AGAIN A FRIEND LOVES AT ALLLLLLLLLL TIMES.
The truth is that we have to start looking at all forms of Christian Media and determine what makes Good Media, and what makes Bad. It's not a pretty job, I remember when American Idol first came out people despised Simon Cowell now as the Seventh Season of the show is in production at this very moment, over 90 percent of the votes are in agreement with Simon. We have grown to respect him for his Honesty and we greatly respect his opinion.
Like it says in Proverbs 27:6 "Faithful are the wounds of a friend, But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful." we have to tell the truth, even if it hurts.
This sort of discussion usually leads to the whole "It's all about the heart" and to an extent that is true. However, a heart that is focused on giving their best to God should greatly appreciate criticism with the mindset of "What? I can do better? Yes..Yes. Thank you."
So BBN please do not take these words as harsh Jabs but honest critiques so we as a Christian Body can reach more people and in return give God even more glory.
First, drop the Organ Hymn Music. It doesn't fit the mood, and it is highly out of place. It throws everything off.
Second, Add background noise to the conversations to cover up the hum of the microphones and eliminate dead air. Research Ambiance.
Third. Eliminate the Scripts from the eyes of the Actors. This is a tip I learned from "The Skit Guy's", read the script a few times and then get rid of it and improvise it as you remember it. This way you voice sounds as if it is actually speaking and not reading out loud.
Forth. Stop Yelling the bible verses at the Kids. I am all for Hell fire and Brimstone, but this is Radio...when did Bob or Larry ever Yell at kids when QWERTY showed them a bible verse. Dora the Explorer doesn't even encourage participation that way.
