Inner Compass - Saturday nights at 10:00pm – Starting October 4th
An interview series that explores how people make decisions about ethical, religious, and social justice issues. Guests include authors, activists, religious leaders, and other engaging thinkers from around the world. The program steers away from a hard-driving religious focus; the show's two alternating hosts openly explore facts, values, and motivations with guests of various religious and non-religious backgrounds. Episodes delve into issues such as global health, equality vs. equity in race relations, religion in international relations, migrant mothers and children, and local economies.
