Used to be a great podcast
EDIT: I unsubscribed from this show almost two years ago and I don't miss it a bit. When a podcast censors anyting but glowing reviews, that's bordering on narcissism. Go listen to Inspired. Much better format and the topics are more varied than feel-good drivel. I have listened to this show for years and it went from a good infomative show to just meh. The format change was at first welcomed and I thought they would bring in more perspectives from other faiths/beliefs instead of 'The Big Four' (Christanity, Islam, Judiasm, and Buddhism) that the show always circulates around. It would be nice to hear from others from more obscure faiths or even (gasp!) non-believers. Ms. Tippett seems to think that being non-controversial is the best method of keeping her listeners happy instead of introducing someone who may challenge our minds and open them up to new ideas. It would also be nice if the show would inform their listenens if the show is a repeat. They used to do this when they were called 'Speaking of Faith' and after they became 'On Being' they stopped. I have contacted them several times about this (they only make about 20-30 shows a year) and when they respond, they seem to give an excuse from 'oh we added new material from the raw interview' or a 'we are looking into this, and big changes are on the way so keep listening!' Both skirt the question and I have to look it up online.Read full review »

Lots of repeats, but she is brilliant. The Religion and Diplomacy program was my fav.

If you enjoy open conversation about the most meaningful subjects in life, onBeing is the finest space anywhere. Krista has done a much to open my mind and expose me to human experience than a 100k grad school degree!
