On Being with Krista Tippett is a quietly philosophical journey, where intellectual luminaries and spiritual guides engage in reflective, soulful conversations that feel both intimate and expansive. Tippett’s serene, probing interviews seek not answers, but deeper questions—creating a space where silence often speaks louder than words.
"This show is a great example of a podcast and radio hybrid. Meaningful conversations that go deep. The host, Krista, is extremely talented and brings out a different side to guests you may have heard speak many times. The show also uploads all RAW audio conversations which is an amazing teaching tool and provides the kind of transparency that is rarely seen in this highly curated digital world of ours."
- Amanda Cupido, Lead Podcasting
On Being is the rare podcast that doesn’t just interview, but elevates its subjects, transforming them into figures of deep philosophical and emotional inquiry. Hosted by Krista Tippett, the show is a calm, contemplative journey through the human experience, where questions about meaning, faith, and purpose are not merely discussed but felt. Tippett’s interviews with poets, scientists, theologians, and artists are so gracefully framed that they almost seem to float, where each word carries weight and significance. There's a spiritual quality to On Being, but it is not about dogma; rather, it’s a quest for wisdom, a search for the unspoken truths that bind us all. In a media landscape often bogged down by noise, On Being offers an oasis of quiet reflection, where listeners can hear not just ideas, but the quiet humanity behind them. It’s a show that reveres thoughtfulness without sacrificing accessibility—intellectual depth with soul.
