The same people and setting appear for a month because Les Feldick tapes all four programs in a single Wednesday afternoon studio session.
Each month the studio gathers once — almost every fourth Wednesday — and records the four half-hour programs one right after the other. When those programs air weekly, viewers see the same audience, the same room, and even the same clothes for four consecutive weeks. Les explains this so viewers understand it is a taping schedule, not a weekly reunion of the same group.
The Bible does not directly address television recording schedules, studio audiences, or monthly taping sessions. This is a practical question about how Les Feldick's studio program is produced, not a doctrinal issue, so the answer comes from Les's own on-air explanations rather than a specific Scripture passage.
Les Feldick repeatedly tells his television audience that the same faces and setting on four weeks in a row are simply the result of how the program is produced. The studio group comes to the Tulsa studio once a month on a Wednesday afternoon and tapes four programs in succession (clips 2, 3). That is why, as Les puts it, "you're going to see the same crowd and you're going to see me in the same way for four weeks straight" (clip 4). He even jokes that viewers see the same people and the same shirt for four weeks because the recordings happen right in a row (clip 7). Most of the people in the studio are retired or have arranged to take a day off, since a Wednesday afternoon taping is a working day (clips 0, 2). Les invites viewers in the Tulsa area or other viewing areas to call, check the taping date, and join the audience when they can (clips 0, 1, 3, 6). He also mentions the fellowship between recordings, with coffee cups on the table while the camera crew prepares for the next program (clip 6).
Les tapes four programs once a month at the Tulsa studio. The session is on a Wednesday afternoon, usually on almost every fourth Wednesday, though occasionally the date shifts. The four programs are recorded one right after another, which is why they air as four consecutive episodes.
Les says the studio group comes from various towns and cities in eastern Oklahoma. Because a Wednesday afternoon is a working day, most are retired or have been able to take a day off. Some travel from farther away; Les mentions one gentleman who flew from North Carolina to be part of the audience.
Yes. Les invites television viewers to call and check the taping date if they are in the Tulsa area or passing through on a Wednesday. He says they can call ahead, and he even mentions his wife's hospitality, including offering overnight lodging and breakfast when needed.
Because new viewers may wonder why the same group appears for multiple weeks. Les wants them to know it is simply because the programs are taped in one afternoon, not that everyone returns week after week.

Back-to-Back Recording

Longstanding Taping Tradition

Coffee Cups and Fellowship
Les says they gather on Wednesday afternoons to produce four programs, and the coffee cups on the table come from brief fellowship while the crew sets up between tapings.
Same Clothes Explained
Les jokes that the same people and the same shirt appear for four weeks because all four programs are taped right in succession in one afternoon.
Because all four programs for the month are taped in one recording session. Les explains that viewers see him in the same clothes — and the audience in the same place — for four weeks simply because the four programs are taped right in succession.
The programs are taped once a month on a Wednesday afternoon, usually on almost every fourth Wednesday. The date can occasionally shift, so Les encourages viewers to call ahead if they plan to attend.
Yes. Les invites anyone in the Tulsa area or in another viewing area who is traveling through to call and check the taping date. If they can come on a Wednesday afternoon, they are welcome to sit in the studio audience, and Les has even offered overnight hospitality when needed.
Because taping happens on a Wednesday afternoon, which is a working day, most people cannot attend. As a result, the regular studio audience is mostly retired people or those who were able to get the day off.
