Episode 13: Dr. SH Nasr
It’s a true honor to have Seyyed Hossein Nasr as my guest on ‘Reflections’. Dr. Nasr is one of the most influential Muslim scholars in the world. He is a rare polymath, whose vast body of work covers the most important areas of contemporary thought from classical philosophy, sacred art, Islamic science, Sufism, and critique of modernity to interfaith relations and the environment. In this interview he discusses the significance of the current pandemic, the roots and implications of the ecological crisis, and the need for sacred and traditional music in our world. An eloquent lecturer and author of over 60 books and several hundred articles that have been translated into all major languages, Dr. Nasr is currently University Professor of Islamic Studies at The George Washington University in Washington, DC.<br /> <br /> The quest for knowledge that — to quote him — “liberates and delivers from the fetters and limitations of earthly existence” — continues to be the central concern of Dr. Nasr’s intellectual life.

Episode 11: Aled Jones
Joining me on Reflections is the legendary Welsh singer, Aled Jones. Aled became a household name across Britain and beyond as a boy in the mid-80s when he released his angelic song, ‘Walking in the Air’ from the movie ‘The Snowman’. He has gone on to have a brilliant career not only as a great vocalist — with over 40 albums to date and many highly successful world tours — but as a broadcaster known for his television and radio programmes including ‘Songs of Praise’ on the BBC and his shows on ITV and Classic FM to name just a few. In addition Aled’s talent for acting has landed him several roles in television, movies, and on the stage. With all that being said, I personally am delighted to have gotten to know Aled as a humble, thoughtful, and sincere human. Recently I had the pleasure to record a duet with him for his just released album ‘Blessings’ which also features Dame Judi Dench and Susan Boyle among others. Today we’re going to talk about the album, about his life in music, and so much more.<br /> <br /> Get Aled’s new album ‘Blessings’ here http://aledjones.lnk.to/blessings<br /> —<br /> Classic FM – UK Digital Radio Station https://www.classicfm.com/<br /> <br /> Everyday Blessings: Inspirational Words of Comfort and Hope by Aled Jones https://www.amazon.co.uk/Everyday-Blessings-Inspirational-words-comfort/dp/1473682746 <br /> <br /> ‘Walking in the Air – Aled Jones Sings With His Younger Self’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=engSQve1CKU<br /> <br /> BBC programme Songs of Praise https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006ttc5
