Vatican Radio announced it would air a special radio program on the life of Pope Benedict XVI on Sunday, September 25.

The program, done in a radio-theater format, focuses on the childhood and youth of the Pope and is based on his autobiographical work, "My Life," which he wrote as a cardinal.

The script for the program was written by Franco Bucarelli, who was inspired to pen the script after he read the Pope’s book. The story will be accompanied by interviews with friends and bishops who are close to Benedict XVI.
