Public Radio's Krista Tippett to Deliver the Inaugural Harold E. Hill Lecture Here at TU

Aired on Monday, April 7th.

On this edition of ST, we listen back to a 2010 interview that we did with Krista Tippett, the Oklahoma-born and Peabody Award-winning host of American Public Media's "On Being," which is heard every Sunday at noon here on Public Radio 89.5. Tippett will be the inaugural speaker tonight (Monday the 7th) in the Harold E. Hill Lecture Series at the University of Tulsa, which begins at 7pm in the Great Hall of the Allen Chapman Activity Center. This lecture is free to the public; you'll find more information about it here. The newly created Harold E. Hill Lecture Series, a program of Tulsa's College Hill Presbyterian Church (CHPC), honors the late Rev. Dr. Harold Hill for his lifetime of work to promote an intellectually honest and scientifically based understanding of religion. Tippett's address will focus on "Einstein's God: Conversations About Science and the Human Spirit" --- and this is also the title of a collection of interviews that she published a few years ago. We spoke with her when that book had just been published.

Rich Fisher passed through KWGS about thirty years ago, and just never left. Today, he is the general manager of Public Radio Tulsa, and the host of KWGS’s public affairs program, StudioTulsa, which celebrated its twentieth anniversary in August 2012 . As host of StudioTulsa, Rich has conducted roughly four thousand long-form interviews with local, national, and international figures in the arts, humanities, sciences, and government. Very few interviews have gone smoothly. Despite this, he has been honored for his work by several organizations including the Governor's Arts Award for Media by the State Arts Council, a Harwelden Award from the Arts & Humanities Council of Tulsa, and was named one of the “99 Great Things About Oklahoma” in 2000 by Oklahoma Today magazine.
