Author Steve Bohlert to Appear on Common Threads Radio
Common Threads is a program heard weekly on Grand Rapids, Michigan NPR affiliate, WGVU-FM. It is hosted by Interfaith Dialogue Association President, Fred Stella. Steve Bohlert, author of _Universalist Radha-Krishnaism_ will be the guest speaker Sundays February 7th and 14th, 2010.
In this world of sound bite journalism and confrontational hit and run radio, Common Threads is a welcome relief. Guests come from virtually every point on the spectrum of spirituality & religion. In the past dozen years we’ve had Tibetan Buddhist lamas, Catholic priests, Hindu monks, Jewish Kabbalah teachers, Evangelical pastors and many, many more share the microphone.
The format is quite simple. In the tradition of such NPR programs as Fresh Air or Speaking of Faith, we invite guests to share informal conversation with our host, Fred Stella. There is almost no editing in this process.
Every week WGVU runs each episode 2 times. Common Threads can be heard on Sundays at both 7 AM & 6:30 PM (Eastern). Steve Bohlert will be the guest speaker on Sundays February 7th and 14th, 2010.
