Faith in the Arts
And the arts in faith
A panel of three hosts – Marlita Hill, Alastair Gordon, and Jonny Mellor, each an artist – explores topics such as how artists of faith contribute to culture, the role of prophetic art, and even tap dance and discipleship. Having three conversation hosts, and often an artistic guest, adds to the richness of the conversation and ensures a lively listening experience.
On Being with Krista Tippett
Beautiful and well-established, this show is not to be missed by thoughtful, artful, faithful listeners
Krista Tippett is a well-established conversation partner who has studied theology and is deeply interested in faith’s intersections with all corners of life and culture. With a 20-year-long backlist, new listeners will delight in finding interviews with people like poet Mary Oliver, Desmond Tutu, Walter Brueggeman, and a warm and lengthy unedited conversation with Eugene Peterson. Truly something good for almost everyone.
Risking Enchantment
A podcast on art, beauty, and the Catholic faith
What does beauty have to do with faith? So much, according to show host Rachel Sherlock, who is joined by conversation partners as the show explores literature, music, poetry, art, and architecture, and considers how the experience of beauty might point to God. Broad in scope and warm in tone, perfect to ponder.
Catholicism and Culture
St. John’s Seminary’s show out of Los Angeles brings faith and culture together
Dropping bi-weekly, conversations roam from faith and freemasonry, great books, the art of preaching, and antisemitism and the Catholic Church. There’s even a show on faith and sports in honor of the 2024 Paris Olympics. Hosted by Stuart Squires, St. John’s director of the Master of Arts in Pastoral Theology, the show includes interviews with poets, artists, filmmakers, and theologians.
The Image Podcast
Have faith in art
Image Journal is well known for exploring and celebrating the arts, and as a gathering place on the page for creators and lovers of art and literature. The Image podcast brings that same sensibility alive on audio. Conversations with poets, novelists, visual artists, and filmmakers explore what it means to make art from a place of deep belief.
