Krista Tippett is the host of On Being and the author of Becoming Wise: An Inquiry into the Mystery and Art of Living.\n\n \u201cGood journalists in newsrooms hold themselves to primitive standards when they\u2019re covering religious ideas and people. They\u2019re sloppy and simplistic in a way that they would never be with a political or economic person or idea. I mean they get facts wrong. They generalize. Because they don\u2019t take it seriously, and they don\u2019t know how to take it seriously.\u201d\n\nThanks to MailChimp, Winc, and Squarespace for sponsoring this week's episode.\n@kristatippett\n[00:30] On Being\n[01:15] Becoming Wise: An Inquiry into the Mystery and Art of Living (Penguin Press \u2022 2016)\n[01:45] "MailChimp and the Un-Silicon Valley Way to Make It as a Start-Up" (Farhad Manjoo \u2022 New York Times \u2022 Oct 2016)\n[05:15] The Brown Daily Herald\n[11:30] "Mengele Casts Shadow on a Bavarian Town" (New York Times \u2022 Jun 1985)\n[20:00] "West Germans Protest Nuclear Missiles For 4th Day" (John Tagliabue \u2022 New York Times \u2022 Apr 1983)\n[38:15] The Nantucket Project\n[46:15] "The Poetry of Ordinary Time" (On Being \u2022 Aug 2014)\n[54:00] The Unedited Episode of \u201cRandomness and Choice" (On Being \u2022 Oct 2016)\nLearn more about your ad choices.
