On air with the world's humanitarians

A radio producer and his search for people who are making the global village a better place to live

It stands to reason that a radio program called Humankind would be produced by a humanitarian, but David Freudberg says he only delights in finding humanitarians. Spend some time talking with him, though, and you soon sense that he belongs among the spiritually animated people he interviews. He is also executive producer of Humanmedia, a radio production outfit based in Belmont, Massachusetts.

Freudberg is the kind of person you could talk with for hours—about the people he's met, their stories—all told with his self-effacing sense of humor. But a good conversationalist is also, by definition, a gifted listener. And Freudberg's programs are always about the subject—about the interviewee's justly famed or previously unknown humanity, and about the ideas that animate our individual searches for meaning and wholeness—and not about himself as the interviewer.
