Krista Tippett

Krista Tippett is an award winning broadcaster and journalist, and a New York Times bestselling author. Her radio programme/podcast On Being has been downloaded hundreds of millions of times. She was awarded the National Humanities Medal by President Barack Obama in 2014 in recognition of her services to broadcasting and publication conversations. Her guests include: Desmond Tutu, Mary Oliver, Joan Baez and Nick Cave. Her interviews, speaking and writing engage with the large questions: What does it mean to be human? How do we want to live? And who will we be to each other?

Krista Tippett writes: “My life of conversation has taught me that wisdom and wholeness emerge paradoxically, yet precisely, in moments like ours, when human beings have to hold seemingly opposing realities in a creative tension and interplay: power and frailty, birth and death, pain and hope, beauty and brokenness, mystery and conviction, calm and fierceness, mine and yours.”
