As you probably know by now, 2024 was a big year for Commonweal, marking one hundred years of continuous publication. 

It was also an important one for the podcast,  which for five years—and nearly one hundred and fifty episodes—has been bringing you reflective conversations with inspiring writers, thinkers, artists, and leaders. 

On this episode, we’re revisiting four of our favorite episodes from the past year: 

• Marilynne Robinson and Christian Wiman on Genesis
• Anastasia Berg and Rachel Wiseman on the ethics of having children
• Vinson Cunningham on criticism as a way of life
• Rabbi Shai Held on Judaism’s loving heart.
