What does it mean to be human? and how do we want to live?
—OnBeing.org
On Being is a public radio conversation and podcast that explores these questions that are at the center of human life.
As host and executive producer, Krista Tippett is a master at the art of the interview. She bring questions to the great thinkers of our time that merge the spiritual with the secular to ask the practical question of what a spiritual life means today.
In the pursuit of wisdom and moral imagination as well as knowledge, she explores the question of meaning in our lives through deep and inspiring conversation with her guests. Her program explores not just facts, but nuance and poetry.
Visit the website for other fascinating and eclectic interviews that include scientists, activists, artists, poets, religious leaders, and many others from diverse and often opposing points of view. She invites everyone into the conversation, and leaves us inspired.
As a lover of poetry, I am especially inspired by the Poetry Radio Collection. This is a collection of interviews with diverse poets and poets reading their own work.
