Listen to Ravenna Michalsen’s Interview and Performances for Interfaith Voices Online

by Danny Fisher

My friend Ravenna Michalsen, whom I interviewed for this blog and profiled for the Spring 2009 issue of Tricycle: The Buddhist Review, was recently interviewed on the wonderful radio show Interfaith Voices. Ravenna also performed two of her songs in their studio. You can download the interview here (it begins at 38 min., 34 sec.), and listen to her performances here and here.

This particular episode of the radio program also features an interview with actress Vinessa Shaw (Eyes Wide Shut, 3:10 to Yuma) about her Nichiren Buddhist practice that is worth a listen (she’s at 23 min., 48 sec.).

The picture above and to the left, of Ravenna and I, was taken in Duke Divinity School’s Goodson Chapel during Ravenna’s recent visit to the Durham, NC, campus. She came at the invitation of the delightful Buddhist Community at Duke.
