HERE’RE THREE Series of podcasts, one done, two on-going still. I’ve enjoyed/I am enjoying them. One I’ve not listened to at all but it has some amazing names on the list.

1. WNYC – Radiolab » Podcasts: On death… a series of seven episodes (including one video): After Life, Proof, Gone, Four Groans, Sum, Moments (a video), After Birth. A series of meditations on death and the after-death event from that decidedly secular, but agnostic and therefore “spiritual but not religious” POV.

2. Speaking of Faith’s Revealing Ramadan Podcast, a series of 30 daily episodes, first person stories from Muslims around the world about this most Holiest of Months on their calendar. It is an amazing journey to listen to (I’ve been getting 5 or 6 at a time) as it reveals most clearly the parallels between those who call themselves CHristians and those who call themselves Muslims. I don’t mean parallels between the religions, per se (although those are there), but if there was a podcast about “Personal Experiences of Lent” (I CALL DIBS ON THAT IDEA!) we’d hear the same stories. The religion-geek level is fun, but the person-to-person is eye-opening.

3. The Emergent Psalter: I just downloaded the first 11 Episodes. I see it has my dear friend and former co-worker (and former co-Church Camp Counselor), Ana Hernandez doing an episode. It looks promising although I’ve not cracked it open yet. I think I may want the book. Given the source I’m sure there might be something that make some of us (Emergent or not) curl our toes. It’s good for you.

Enjoy!
