Jenny Beer Practical Peacemaking Through Mediation - The Mediator's Handbook The Overlooked Layers of MediationJennifer Beer’s framing of mediation as “practical peacemaking” is powerful and exactly how I view the work we do as mediators. Her insight into how class, cultural, and even authoritarian influences shape conflict is vital—and often overlooked. As a mediator working in family law, I’ve seen how these factors influence everything from communication styles to power dynamics. The inclusion of mental health in this discussion is particularly relevant. While mediation isn’t therapy, it absolutely requires an emotionally intelligent, trauma-informed approach—especially when one or both parties are dealing with mental health concerns. Thank you for highlighting the depth and complexity of effective mediation. This conversation is a needed reminder of the balance we strike between legal clarity and human connection.

Heidi Mueller and her mountain dulcimer From a Dulcimer Moon to a Groundhog: Heidi Muller A note on my "Sacred Ground" songThanks so much for listening! I wanted to clarify what I said about Chief Joseph and the Nez Perce when I talked about my song, "Sacred Ground." While the town of Joseph, Oregon was named for the chief in 1880, it was not the local residents who caused the removal of the tribe. My very general comments might have created that impression. Rather, in 1877, the US government forced Chief Joseph's band of the Nez Perce (their own tribal name is Nimiipuu, or The People) to leave their homeland at the foot of the Wallowa Mountains. This started the Nez Perce War, in which the tribe fled 1500 miles while battling with the US Army over and over again, till their trek ended in Bear Paw, Montana. There are many books about this if you'd like to find out more. Heidi Muller (not verified)
Heidi Mueller and her mountain dulcimer From a Dulcimer Moon to a Groundhog: Heidi Muller Wonderful interview of Heidi Muller Thanks for the excellent interview of Heidi Muller. She expresses herself through her music, rarely sharing details of her journey. You managed to shine a light on her Spirit. If you listen closely to the lyrics of her songs, she almost always includes a phrase or two that indicates her deep conversation with the Universe. Even in her songs from ordinary events you can find a message; the importance of really SEEING a person like David, the homeless man on a Seattle street or how we can avoid sinking into the shadows if we just turn towards the Light in the seemingly jocular song about a groundhog. Several of her songs about the Moon were on constant replay for me, encouraging me to look towards and eventually go through open doors in the various stages of my grief journey after the loss of my husband. Thanks for helping others to discover the Spirit of Song. And I hope you will interview her partner, Bob Webb. He is SO modest about his gifts but he's a great story teller. I'm sure your interviewing skills could help share his deep, special kind Spirit to others. Karen Robertson (not verified)
Wayne Finegar and Quaker House Preparing for the Draft & Conscientious Objection with Wayne Finegar Wayne's InterviewThis interview was helpful for me and others in our Meeting as we are revising our policy in order to help young people "Preparing for the Draft & Conscientious Objection"... Wayne Finegar has a positive history with our Midlothian Friends Monthly Meeting from his days with Baltimore Yearly Meeting. However, his new role at Quaker House and this interview has provided an opening for me in listening to him and hearing his background, perspective and advise. There is a renewal for me or an awakening about the importance of this process for today's young people. I successfully presented myself to a draft board in Michigan when I was a teen during the Vietnam War period. I was raised a Catholic and had strong views against killing anyone and war in particular. Now, as a Quaker for the past 45 years, I the opportunity and responsibility to hopefully help others understand their thinking about war and whether they have the ability to kill another person. Thanks Spirit Radio! Thomas DeWeerd (not verified)

Picture of shape-note notation Shape-note & Sacred Harp - Singing Tradition of the Soul Shape note singingI really enjoyed this podcast. I've been singing shape note for over thirty years now (mostly in Kansas), and love how it is about the experience of singing (and sharing food) together, not about performance. Singers will be welcomed at any sing they go to. Your podcast presented a nice explanation and selection highlighting tunes from a number of the Sacred Harp / shape note books.
