Wisdom and Practice, from the The Aspen Institute, is out with a new episode talking to Rainn Wilson about his own faith journey. Despite having grown within The Baháʼí Faith, Rainn didn’t feel particularly connected to God or really any sense of spirituality. In this conversation, he walks Simran through the long path that led him to re-discover his alignment with The Baháʼí Faith that he had been raised in and poses the interesting thought: what if we are not human beings having a spiritual experience, but spiritual beings having a human experience?

In this week’s episode of the #PlantPeople podcast from New York Botanical Garden, we’re joined by renowned culinary historian, author, and NYBG Trustee Dr. Jessica B. Harris, curator of the African American Garden. Over the last three years, this collection has used plants like okra to tell the stories of migration, dispossession, and reclamation that inform so much of the African American experience—and define much of what American cuisine is today. As we stroll the space with Dr. Harris, hear about the ways the African diaspora has, over the course of more than 500 years, transformed the Western Hemisphere with its cultures, labor, and agricultural know-how. #PlantPeople #okra #NYBG

Diversifying our diet can improve humanity’s health AND the planet’s, but only if we protect the smorgasbord of options that exists beyond the supermarket. 🍎🌽 In the newest episode of the Plant People podcast, New York Botanical Garden teams up with Dan Saladino, host of BBC Radio 4’s The Food Programme and author of Eating to Extinction. Together, they venture beyond the familiar produce section to explore a world of foods you might not know about—and the urgent need to protect them before they disappear. From rare cider apples on the brink of extinction to the vanishing Old Cornish cauliflower, and Indigenous plant-based edibles, this episode dives into how preserving these endangered foods is crucial for our future. #PlantPeople #FoodDiversity #Sustainability #NYBG #Biodiversity

Our Story

PRX is a non-profit media company specializing in audio journalism and storytelling. We believe strong public media is anchored in journalism, strengthened with diverse voices, and amplified by innovative technology.

Our award-winning portfolio ranges from iconic public radio programs like The World, This American Life, The Takeaway and Reveal, to a growing body of podcast-first productions including the Radiotopia network, home to 99% Invisible, Ear Hustle and Criminal. Each month we reach more than 28.5 million listeners and generate in excess of 70 million podcast downloads per month.

Founded in 2003, PRX was named one of Fast Company’s "Ten Most Innovative Companies in Media" in both 2015 and 2017, reflecting our critical leadership -- as both a technology and content creator -- as podcasting has emerged into a mainstream medium. In 2018, we merged with Public Radio International (PRI), a public media network that since 1983 expanded public radio through alternative programming, with an emphasis on international and cultural reporting.

Today PRX works in partnership with hundreds of public radio stations and thousands of independent producers. Since 2016, our work has also included a substantial training program, which is helping journalists and storytellers from across the country and around the world adapt to and succeed in the highly competitive podcast market.
