Listening well is a skill often taught and practiced in the classroom, practicum, listening lab, and the spaces in between at 天美视频.

So it’s no surprise that many of us enjoy listening to podcasts, whether for educational purposes or for sheer enjoyment of a particular show. It鈥檚 an opportunity, in one sense, to take education outside of the classroom and workspace and engage themes from a fresh, often humorous perspective.

Shows we find ourselves listening to while working and learning from home are those that are more relationally-oriented, probably because they align so well with the school鈥檚 core themes and mission. From the banter of the co-hosts to the topics they cover, here鈥檚 a list of some of our favorite podcast shows this summer:

Krista Tippet & Co.

Krista Tippet and Company are guided by 鈥渄eep thinking and social courage, moral imagination and joy.鈥 That mission alone puts words to what we hope for society. We appreciate their breadth of guests and the learning that emerges from curiosity and deep listening.

Stephen Roach

Connected to The Breath & the Clay Creative Arts Movement, this podcast is 鈥渇or the art-driven, spiritually adventurous seekers of truth and lovers of life.鈥 In one episode, Stephen interviews John Eldredge about his latest book, about the need to slow down and take time to rediscover beauty in everyday practices.

Hillary McBride

You may recognize her voice from the ever popular Liturgists podcast as host Hillary McBride shares client鈥檚 therapy sessions with anyone who wants an inside look into a therapist’s office.

Nora McInerney

A refreshingly honest show, Nora McInerney isn鈥檛 afraid to tell the truth about what she鈥檚 feeling and invites guests who tell their stories with the same level of openness. We recommend starting with the episode 鈥溾 to get a feel for what to expect from her show. Another recent favorite is “” featuring Dr. Edith Eger.

Ann Friedman and Aminatou Sow

Ann Friedman and Aminatou Sow are whip smart, voracious readers, and civically engaged. They have stretched our thinking, cracked us up, and challenged us to show up in the world differently. We鈥檝e learned so much from these friends.

John Totten and Mason Neely

Two psychotherapists, one native to Seattle, host a weekly podcast where they 鈥渆xplore what is happening between therapists and patients鈥攆rom both sides of the relationship.鈥
