🏆 Why Easter Gives Us Rabbits

Tonight on Chesterton Radio, we take up a peculiar question:

Why does Easter—of all feasts—give us rabbits?

From Nero Wolfe’s Case of the Friendly Rabbit to the cheerful chaos of Gildersleeve, Phil Harris, and The Life of Riley… from the childlike wonder of the Quiz Kids to the domestic comedy of The Egg and I… these stories seem, at first glance, almost too light to matter.

And yet, they persist.

They arrive not as sermons, but as celebrations—filled with laughter, absurdity, and a quiet, unspoken confidence that something in the world has already been set right.

This episode is not a survey…
