Rev. Kat Banakis hosts an interfaith ethics show on the wisdom of faith traditions in leading a good life.

The show features interfaith experts discussing a topic that tends to elicit faith questions for people or bring them back to religion -- death, illness, marriage, raising children. The rather short program combines secular academics on the topic, interviews with person-on-the-street, and a panel discussion.
