About the show

Let’s Talk: Faith and Aid is a limited-series podcast presented by the Humanitarian Collaborative at the University of Virginia’s Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy. At a moment of deep uncertainty for the humanitarian sector, this podcast explores the often underexplored role of faith, as a lived force that can motivate empathy, giving, and action. Through conversations with scholars and practitioners across the humanitarian world, this series will examine how faith—in all its forms—may be able to spark public compassion and help revive a more unified humanitarian movement in a world that desperately needs it.
