"Winner of a Peabody Award, Speaking of Faith
with "Krista Tippett is public radio's weekly program about
"religion, meaning, ethics, and ideas." We are produced and
distributed by American Public Media and currently heard on over
200 public radio stations across the U.S. and globally via the Web
and podcast.
Krista takes a narrative, or first-person,
approach to religious and philosophical conversation. She draws out
the intersection of theology and human experience, of grand
religious ideas and real life. A weekly national program since July
2001, Speaking of Faith is not so much about religion per se, but
about drawing out compelling and challenging voices of wisdom on
the most important subjects of 21st- century life; thereby creating
a different kind of in-depth, revealing, illuminating dialogue than
can be elicited by traditional journalistic treatments and debates.
Topics range from "Einstein and the Mind of God" to "The
Spirituality of Parenting" to "Diplomacy and Religion in the 21st
Century."
"We take the art and craft of radio seriously;
and we see radio as an exceptional medium for probing the
intellectual and spiritual depths of religious ideas and
experience.
"We see our online platforms as central to what
we do, and are constantly pursuing ways we can expand our content,
offer resources, and interact with listeners in new ways via
journalism's fastest-growing medium. Our guests include theologians
and scientists, poets and parents, educators and physicians —
both religious and non-religious — and our program listener
demographic is correspondingly diverse.
"We're proud that the Columbia Journalism Review
has credited the show with modeling a new paradigm of journalism
about religion. And New York's Jewish Week has called Speaking of
Faith "the most intelligent and inquisitive program on religion
anywhere on the air." Most importantly, we take delight in the
ideas, reactions, and correspondence we receive every day from
listeners across the spectrum of belief and around the world.
