In a season when people are speaking their hopes for a more peaceful planet, we present a compendium of highlights from the Peace Talks Radio series on peacemaking and nonviolent conflict resolution. Listeners will hear about three Nobel Peace Laureates. The peacemaking diplomacy of 1950 Peace Prize winner Ralph Bunche is recalled. 1997 Nobel Peace Laureate Jody Williams talks about her campaign to ban landmines and speaks of personal repsonsibility in peacemaking. The microcredit work of 2006 Nobel Peace Laureate Muhammad Yunus is explored. Also, a remarkable story of forgiveness leads to a program for teaching nonviolence in schools, author Byron Katie talks about the search for inner peace, young people of disparate faiths work together on community projects, and 9/11 Families turn their grief into action for peace. This is one in a series of evergreen programs highlighting the Peace Talks Radio series. Note other program links below.

Review of Seeking Peace on Earth: The 2007 Peace Talks Radio Special (59:00/54:00)
This is the first time I have come across Peace Talk Radio. I have to say Bravo! As stated in the piece about Ralph Bunche - we do not hear enough about, and know even less about who the peacemakers are and how they have influenced the world (aside from the big names - MKG, MLK, Mother Teresa.
The way in which the pieces were paced and the tone were very digestible - my wife, whom is not a radio person, walked into the room and listened to a portion of the piece with me and then later discussed what we had heard.
I would highly recommend this piece and will go into the archives to listen to more Peace Talk Radio.
