About Krista Tippett, host of On Being

Krista was a journalist and diplomat in Cold War Berlin and holds a Masters of Divinity from Yale University. Her books include Einstein's God — Conversations about Science and the Human Spirit; and Speaking of Faith — Why Religion Matters, and How to Talk about It. In 2013, Krista took On Being and The Civil Conversations Project into independent production.
