Krista Tippett

American journalist, author, and entrepreneur who created and hosts the public radio programme and podcast On Being. She is known for "The Tippett style", described by the New York Times as "represent[ing] a fusion of all her parts – the child of small-town church comfortable in the pews; the product of Yale Divinity School able to parse text in Greek and theology in German; and, perhaps most of all, the diplomat seeking to resolve social divisions."

In July 2014, Tippett was awarded the 2013 National Humanities Medal at the White House for "thoughtfully delving into the mysteries of human existence." She received a George Foster Peabody Award in 2008, for "The Ecstatic Faith of Rumi", and three Webby awards for excellence in electronic media. Her book Einstein's God (2010) was a New York Times bestseller.

She has two children and is divorced.
