Interfaith Podcasts (Radio on the Web)
July 1st, 2007
The newsletter team at the Interfaith Center at the Presio recently put together a great list of interfaith podcasts, which are audio “broadcasts” on the web. Two that are missing: Think Peace Radio, hosted by URI Global Council member P.K. McCary, and the Interfaith Talk Radio program hosted members of two URI CCs in Seattle — Interfaith Council of Washington and Interfaith Circle of Love.
