The Tibet Connection
- Location: Torrance, California
- http://www.tibetconnection.org
Each month, we feature engaging interviews, news stories, profiles, documentaries and helpful insights. We seek out notable and intriguing guests, including filmmakers, authors, thinkers, artists, musicians, and commentators, who connect the issues facing today’s world with the Tibetan experience and provide an informative and engaging forum for discussion. We hope that our program helps listeners to understand the unique experience and legacy of Tibet and to provide a conduit between Tibet and the rest of the world.
A growing interest in the politics, philosophy and culture of Tibet plus a lack of Tibet-related programming led a group of people, in May 2006, to launch a monthly one-hour radio program devoted to things Tibetan.
