Compelling highlights from Peace Talks Radio, the series on peacemaking and nonviolent conflict resolution. Conversations with leading thinkers and researchers in conflict resolution as well as with people working for peace, in their own varied ways, around the globe. Read the full description.

Poddcastart_small A good program for anytime in the year, but especially good around the holidays when listeners are contemplating the senitment of "Peace on Earth."  This is another in the ongoing series of compilations of compelling moments from the Peace Talks Radio series.  Without referring to the year itself, this program samples episodes in the series that explored peacemaking efforts and conflict resolution thinking around the globe in 2010 (so it's esentially evergreen).  Included is a look at the “Peace Through Music” project, and international efforts to protect human rights defenders in global conflict hot spots.  Also conversations with leading thinkers in conflict resolution, like William Ury, Daniel Goleman and Rick Hanson.  Plus highlights from a panel that explored how we can make peace with Mother Nature in the wake of 2010’s many environmental disasters.  And listen in for the voices of school children to hear their thoughts on peacemaking. Lots more as well.
