Great Stories: On Being
Great Stories is a series featuring positive and inspiring storytellers that I’ve encountered over the years.
I first learned of the podcast, On Being, in 2016. Founder and Host Krista Tippet shares conversations with people whose voices, many from people I wouldn’t generally stumble across in my daily life. From poets to religious thinkers, scientists to writers. She interviews a very diverse set of people but all of whom are curious about the world we live in and sharing stories to help us understand this world a bit better.
On the front of the On Being website is this vision statement:
Pursuing deep thinking and moral imagination, social courage and joy, to renew inner life, outer life, and life together.
Krista Tippett brings joy, curiosity, and empathy to each of her conversations. Tippett created the program, On Being, in 2003. She is a master interviewer (someone I admire and try to channel when doing my interviews).
