Conversations in the Spirit: Lex Hixon’s WBAI “In the Spirit” Interviews SOLD OUT

Interviewees include the spiritual giants Ram Dass, Alan Watts, Daniel Berrigan, Swami Muktananda, Kalu Rinpoche, Mother Teresa, and Stephen Gaskin.

His work has been published in books, magazines, and on the Internet. He also contributes occasional commentaries on religion for the National Public Radio program All Things Considered.

Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University, since 2004.
