If journalism is a primary way we tell the story of ourselves and our time, Michel Martin is a person helping us tell that story — and take part in it — more completely. Her daily NPR program Tell Me More was often labeled as “diversity” or “minority” programming. But in fact, she and her journalism are about a more generous and realistic sweep of who we are now — and how we’re creating our life together anew. At the Chautauqua Institution, we mine her wisdom on the emerging fabric of human identity.

She acknowledges wise voices who say that we will never get to the promised land of racial equality. She writes, “That may very well be true, but it also true that extraordinary things have happened and keep happening in our history. The question is, how do we prepare for and precipitate them?” We took her up on this emboldening question at the Chautauqua Institution, on the cusp of yet a new collective reckoning with the racial fabric of American life. | 9/11/2014 | Free | View In iTunes |

[Unedited] Dave Isay with Krista Tippett | This unedited conversation with StoryCorps founder David Isay comes from our produced show "David Isay — The Everyday Art of Listening." "The soul is contained in the voice." StoryCorps founder David Isay and Krista Tippett have an intimate conversation about their shared love of listening — and the importance of creating spaces to tell our stories to each other. For him, the spaces where two people ask the questions they’ve always wanted to ask of each other are sacred. Listening, he’s learned, is an act of love. Eliciting and capturing our stories is a way of insisting that every life matters. | 4/17/2014 | Free | View In iTunes |

As Avivah Zornberg reveals, Exodus is a cargo of hidden stories — telling the messy, strange, redemptive truth of us as we are, and life as it is. | 4/10/2014 | Free | View In iTunes |

Absolutely Wonderfully Powerful
I can't rave about this enough. I have become SoF and Krista Tippett evangelist, steering as many as I can to this podcast. In some ways, I'm glad my local NPR stations don't carry this as I would probably have to arrange my schedule to listen each week. However, I really appreciate the podcast because it becomes a thought-provoking and, often, contemplative, personal time with Ms. Tippett and her interviewees. I have frequently gotten the most out of the interviews that I initially avoided because of the topic. I am amazed at Krista's ability to understand the most complex theological and ethical issues and present them in a way that has so often resonated within me deeply. Thank you!
Fantastic Resource for a Spiritual Journey
If you are looking for dogma, this is not the place. If you are looking for meaning and mindfulness on your spiritual journey, this is the place. Segments generally explore where faith is found in a host of settings, institutions, individuals. Very well produced. Excellent website and weekly e-mail compliment the podcast.
Appreciation
Krista Tippett has become, for me, a valued friend as she invites me to overhear others sharing their stories, their journeys of faith. She presents, in our most polarized reporting and world, a deeply touching panoply of people, perspectives, and experiences that have enriched me, while at the same time not ducking the tough questions, but rather framing them sensitively, invitingly, respectfully, and from a wide awareness and curiosity about the lives of others. A rare gem – both the person and the program.
