It’s Friday and amidst all of the chaos, unknown and city-wide shutdowns due to the corona virus, #COVID-19, our editorial team put together a list of thoughtful podcasts in order to help you ‘chillax.’ So breath, take a load off, learn and listen.
On Being – Krista Tippett interviews people from artists to physicists to spiritual leaders about the nature of their childhood and its spiritual grounding, their lives and the nature of the world as they grew up to see it. This show tends to have a larger than the person feel and is grounding and uplifting.

On being also produces two other shows called Becoming Wise (a less than 10 minute moment of wonder or wisdom) and Poetry Unbound in which the host reads out a poem (the selections have been beautiful) and then talks about it briefly and reads it again.

Desert Island Discs. A long running BBC radio show where the host interviews a range of incredibly talented people about their lives. It’s anchored by eight songs that have shaped the person and that they would like to take with them on a desert island. It’s also a great way to explore music new and old.
