The Spirit of Things podcast by Rachael Kohn is the podcast of the program with the same name aired on Australia's ABC radio national, which can be found at www.abc.au/rn. The podcast starts with a song inspired by nature, which is sung melodiously. The podcast is an adventure into spirituality and religion, and how it is related to culture, art, music, rituals, and sacred texts.
The podcast contains interviews with people who have either been studying these topics for a long time, or generally have been affected by their faith during troubled times. It is not restricted to any specific religion, but draws powers from every religion and faith, and the underlying sense of communal harmony that is essential to bring about in today's world of destruction, greed, and power.
Rachael has a very clear voice, and the interviews are held face-to-face, which makes this podcast stand out from those that carry their interviews on the phone, making it difficult to understand the speaker. The only drawback that I found with this podcast is that the total volume of the podcast is a bit lower than it should be.

2009-11-22 The Larger God of Nature
Author: ABC Radio National

Charles Darwin´s publication of On the Origin of Species 150 years ago is not a barrier to belief but an invitation to see God as larger than previously imagined. So says Dr. Nancy Howell, Co-Chair of the Theology and Science Group of the American Academy of Religion. Science is hegemonic today, but it is not capable of measuring a God that is only known to us as analogy, says Dr. Martinez Hewlett, a theistic evolutionist and a cellular biologist at the University of Arizona. The idea of the Cosmic Christ, says Fr. Jacques Arnould who works for the French Space Agency, anticipates modern cosmology.

Author: ABC Radio National
Sun, Nov 15, 2009
When Charles Darwin wrote his Origin of Species, published 150 years ago this month, some Anglicans had made peace with the evolution of the body. But as Pulitzer Prize-winning Darwin historian, Edward Larson, points out it was the soul they were concerned about. Darwin´s great, great grandson, Christopher Darwin, tells the story of his grandfather´s religious journey and his own, while Maggie Walter of the University of Tasmania speaks of the impact of social Darwinism on her great great grandmother, a Trawlwoolway woman.
