This is Design Matters with Debbie Milman,

from Design observer.com.

For 11 years now, Debbie Milman has been talking with designers and other creative types about what they do, how they got to be, who they are, and what they're thinking about. How they got to be who they are and what they're thinking about.

On this podcast, D. B. Milman talks with Krista Tippett

about her religious orientation, her struggle with depression,

and about why it's so hard to understand our historical moment.

The things we're shining a light on, the things that are getting all the attention, or the people

are getting all the attention are probably not the ones who are changing the world.

Here's Debbie Melba.

Krista Tippett listens to people for a living.

She's the host of On Being, the public radio show,

so her voice is familiar to many people.

But fans of the show hear her not only talking, but also listening.

It's an odd thing to say, but you can actually hear her listening to her guests as they talk intimately to her about the big questions of science, spirituality, politics, art, and life.

All that listening eventually coalesces into books

that are inspired by her interviews.

Krista Tippett has written three of them,

and her latest is called Becoming Wise,

An Inquiry into the Mystery and Art of Living.

She joins me from her studio in Minneapolis to talk about it and about her career behind the mic.
