Telethros (Gregorian)
Byzantine Rite Liturgy of the Hours
Antony Chirovsky
Show overview
Telethros (Gregorian) launched in 2024 and has put out 319 episodes, alongside 1 trailer or bonus episode in the time since. That works out to roughly 240 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a near-daily cadence, with the show now in its 2nd season.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 26 min and 1h 3m — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language Religion & Spirituality show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 1.1 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. Published by Antony Chirovsky.
From the publisher
In this podcast, I will be uploading reader versions of services in the Byzantine Rite, on the Gregorian Calendar, mostly according to the usage of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. These are meant as guides to accompany and even direct life in the domestic church. We all live much busier lives than our ancestors, whose rural living in tight-knit villages around their parish churches allowed them to live their lives to the rhythm of the Church Year. We, however, often find ourselves commuting long distances or working longer hours which don't allow us the luxury of daily church attendance. So many of us turn to home prayer rules, but resources can often be few and far between, and even when they do exist, they can be complicated and time consuming to use. That's where this podcast wants to provide some support. By making the reader services, as they would be done un-priested in home or church worship, available in an audio-only format, my hope is that more of us can be uplifted by the liturgical core of our Byzantine Spiritual and Liturgical Tradition to maintain our prayer life in our busy modern lives. The plan is to have 5 daily uploads of the main service groups: the Midnight Office (early morning before dawn prayer), Orthros & 1st Hour (Dawn/Morning Prayer), 3rd & 6th Hour with Typika (Daytime Prayer), 9th Hour & Vespers (Late Afternoon-Evening Prayer), and Compline (Night Prayer); with modifications to this schedule according to the seasons of the church year. At present there is no structure for ways to support the show and the large amount of work that goes into the daily production, but if you want to get in touch about support or any other topic related to Liturgy, feel free to send a message to [email protected] and I will do my absolute best to respond promptly. Due to multiple requests, I am putting here some details to allow you to support me in this work: maybe buying me a cup of the mountains of coffee I am drinking working late most nights to do this in addition to my normal work. Current manners to chip in include: Venmo: @wholesoulstudios https://venmo.com/code?user_id=3867317846935409563&created=1708161547.49824&printed=1 Paypal: @AntonCharr Zelle: [email protected] With utmost faith in God for His support and total humble acceptance of my own many limitations.

Thank you for accompanying me on this year's journey. I made an effort this year to be more deliberate and less ambitious, not constantly trying and failing to include weekend services and then getting burned out and missing days. Through your support and prayers, this year I actually managed to do all the weekday services this whole Lent without any gaps. I look forward to the coming commemorations and celebrations of Holy Week and Pascha, and the whole new year afterwards. God willing, I'll be with you all again next year. I leave you with an early: Christ is Risen! Khristos Voskrese! Khristos Anesti! al-Masīḥ qām!
