Interfaith podcasting

Having just gotten out an episode of Interfaith Today, it occurs to me to mention that interfaith/religious podcasts to which I myself listen on a regular basis. All of them are public radio shows. As far as I know, I'm the only amateur interfaith podcaster.

Speaking of Faith from American Public Media. Each show is an in-depth look at a topic. Recent shows have included a military chaplain talking about reintegration of veterans into the community, the late Jaroslav Pelikan talking about the Christian creeds and why people need creeds and a show on one family's struggle with their son's schizophrenia.

Interfaith Voices, (formerly called Faith Matters), is a magazine format show that talks about religion and the issues of the day. Recent shows have dealt with the Da Vinci Code controversy, Buddhism in America and an interview with Bishop Spong about the controveries in the Episcopal church.

Religion & Ethics Newsweekly, a weekly PBS news format show on such matters. Recent shows have included discussion of illegal immigration, the story of a doctor who gave up his life in the city to treat the poor in Peru, and how some Christian groups are creating faith-based health care programs.

I find all of these, particularly Speaking of Faith because of its in-depth format, to be interesting and valuable discussions on religion in society.
