Inspired
Inspired is the nation's leading public radio show about faith, ethics and spirituality. Each week we offer you analyses of the big headlines alongside lesser-told stories – those of Orthodox Jewish artists and African-American atheists, Muslim feminists and spiritual seekers. Through these stories, a rough sketch of our country’s religious landscape begins to emerge. It’s a marketplace of beliefs and ideas too complex for sound bites, and too important to ignore.
Diane Rehm on the Right to Choose How We Die
She is one of public radio’s most influential talk show hosts. This week we speak with Diane Rehm, host of NPR and WAMU’s The Diane Rehm Show about her best-selling book, On My Own. The interview and the book deal with the devastating loss of her husband, his search for the divine, and how his last days gave her a new cause: advocating for the right for terminally ill people to choose how they want to die.
We interviewed John Rehm in 2012 about his dramatic conversion experience and his book, Onward Journey. Listen here.
Freedom of Bigotry? A Debate Over New State Laws
Freedom of religion and freedom from discrimination are two of our most cherished rights. But what happens when they clash? A new raft of bills in southern states is testing this very question, and celebrities and corporations are responding with boycotts. We host a debate between two lawyers with opposing views. Featuring Travis Weber, director of the Center for Religious Liberty at the Family Research Council and Reverend Barry Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State.
