Episode Synopsis

On Being host Krista Tippett reflects on her career and tells stories never before heard on air. She contemplates her grandfather’s spirituality, what she was looking for when she decided to come to Yale Divinity School, the need she saw for intelligent public conversation about spirituality and religion, and the birth story of Speaking of Faith (later On Being) during the Cold War. We consider how religious traditions can open up to the world’s pain and, finally, encourage imaginative, muscular hope.
