Speaking of Faith with Krista Tippett[1] is a weekly public radio program about "religion, meaning, ethics, and ideas"[1], produced by American Public Media. Initially launched as a monthly broadcast in 2001 with Minnesota Public Radio, the program became a national weekly broadcast in 2003 airing on NPR stations across the United States. Operating from a neutral position, the program explores the relationship between religion and the human experience around the world.
Speaking of Faith was awarded its first Webby Award in 2005 — the first public radio program to win the juried prize — and a second in 2008. That same year, the program was given a George Foster Peabody Award for its radio and online production of "The Ecstatic Faith of Rumi" in 2007.
Tippett believes "what most Americans want, whether they are religious or not, is for the religious voice in our public life to be more constructive — to reflect the capacity religion has to nourish lives and communities."[2]
The radio program has also spawned a book of similar name.[2]
