This article is at least a year old
ABC Radio will launch a new podcast hosted by ABC News Senior National Correspondent Paula Faris, titled ‘Journeys of Faith with Paula Faris.’ The first three episodes will be released on Wednesday, November 14 and will feature interviews with Robin Roberts, co-anchor of ABC News’ ‘Good Morning America;’ Luke Bryan and Hillary Scott, country music superstars; and Ben Shapiro, political commentator and author. In each episode Faris sits down with some of the world’s most influential people for an intimate look at how they’ve used faith and spirituality to guide them through the best and worst of times.
“'Journeys of Faith’ is an opportunity to listen and learn from one another - respecting that faith is the core and foundation for so many, yet no two faith journeys look alike,” says Faris. “I hope listeners will be encouraged and inspired by these stories of what people believe and why.”
The first season of ‘Journeys of Faith’ will feature ten episodes, posting every Wednesday. Episodes will be available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, TuneIn, Spotify, Stitcher and the ABC News app.
“We are excited to welcome ‘Journeys of Faith’ as the newest addition to ABC Radio’s expanding podcast collection,” says Steve Jones, Vice President and General Manager, ABC Radio. “We love the passion that Paula brings to each interview and believe listeners will enjoy the illuminating discussions featured in each episode.”
The first three episodes feature interviews with:
Robin Roberts:
Before she became the face of ABC News’ “Good Morning America” and made New York her home, Robin Roberts moved from city to city as she pursued her dreams. The one constant in all of those places? Church. Roberts also opens up about how her faith helped her step out of her comfort zone to pursue a career she never envisioned.
Luke Bryan and Hillary Scott:
Country superstars Luke Bryan and Hillary Scott are both up for some big prizes at the Country Music Awards this month. But their love for music isn’t the only thing they share. They’ve both relied on their faith to navigate the ups and downs of life.
Ben Shapiro:
Ben Shapiro is always on the move, whether it’s hosting his popular podcast, “The Ben Shapiro Show,” or overseeing the conservative publication “The Daily Wire.” Despite the pressures of a 24-hour news cycle, the political commentator still makes time for his faith.
Additional season one guests include Kellyanne Conway, Tim Tebow, Sam Harris, Reza Aslan, Marla Maples, Sherri Shepherd and Melissa Joan Hart.
Faris is Senior National Correspondent at ABC News. Previously, she was the co-anchor of ‘Good Morning America’s’ weekend edition, as well as a co-host of ABC’s ‘The View’. While at ABC News, the Emmy-Award winning journalist has reported on a wide-array of topics, from the 2018 Royal Wedding in Windsor, England, to the 90th Annual Academy Awards, the 2017 Inauguration of President Donald Trump, the World Cup in Brazil and the New England Patriots “Deflategate” scandal, as well as the Republican National Convention.
