I regularly listen to the APM program On Being hosted by Krista Tippett, and I often listen to both the produced/edited podcast, as well as the uncut interview. This program was fascinating, but I actually enjoyed the unedited interview more than the produced show – I have to admit that I had the same reaction that Krista describes during the interview (although, I’m going to use blunter terms) – I don’t really care for this artist’s music.

But I do admire her philosophy, and I found a lot of wisdom in her thoughts on the value of a meditative practice. So, for anyone who is curious about meditation, maybe this interview, whether you listen to the cut or uncut version, may be illuminating.
