Dina Nayeri on the experience of refugees and the nature of storytelling

The Sacred is a podcast about our deepest values, the stories that shape us and how we can build empathy and understanding between people who are very different.

Each episode features a conversation with someone who has a public voice, from academics to journalists, playwrights and politicians. We ask them where they have come from, what they are trying to do and what might help heal our very divided public conversations. 

The Sacred is hosted by Elizabeth Oldfield, former director of Theos.
