Join us on the WHFR Journal Friday, August 21 as we focus on one of the most important aspects of radio -- listening! Coming off of National Radio Day, we acknowledge that the need to listen is required for radio to work. But listening is important in all aspects of our lives. Especially in a time of polarization, the simple practice of listening to another can feel like a lost art. In this powerful PRX Humankind special presented by David Freudberg in association with WGBH/Boston, we hear the reflective insights of people who listen for a living: physicians, counselors and clergy. Learn about the concept of "meta-awareness" in listening, as well as counteracting the practice of getting caught up in “the self-evaluative monitor” where we focus more on our own performance, than on the needs being expressed by the person we're "listening" to. Listen to this powerful show Friday, August 21 at 1pm only on the WHFR Journal.
