About Lino
Lino Rulli hosts “The Catholic Guy”, the afternoon drive radio show heard across North America on SiriusXM Satellite Radio Channel 129: Monday-Friday, 4pm-6pm ET; replays at 8pm-10pm ET. He is also Personal Media Advisor to Cardinal Timothy Dolan (named by TIME Magazine as one of the most influential people in the world). Lino began his career in television in 1988 and is a 3-time Emmy winner.
He was co-executive producer on “The Last Flagraiser” – a World War II documentary which aired nationally on CBS. It won the Emmy Award for Documentary, the Scripps-Howard National Journalism Award, the National Headliner Grand Award and the RTNDA Edward R. Murrow Award.
From 1998-2004, Lino was host and executive producer of “Generation Cross”. The show was broadcast across the United States and Canada. Lino won back-to-back Emmy awards as host of “Generation Cross”, the first person to win an Emmy award for Catholic broadcasting since Bishop Fulton Sheen.
Lino has a bachelor’s degree in communications and a master’s degree in theology. He has lived in Italy, The Bahamas, New York City and currently lives in rural Minnesota. And he’s really bad at taking himself this seriously.
