For more than eleven years, Global Voices Radio created weekly radio interview programs focused on the challenges facing our world with a unique whole-systems perspective. First as It Plays in Peoria Productions, then as Global Voices Radio, until the organization shifted its focus to the spoken and written word, they created programming to support more just and democratic approaches to the issues that transcend borders and to the ways communities may respond to these challenges.
These incredible interviews, conducted by Paul Nelson, are now available on-line so that a wider audience can use them as a resource and source for inspiration and change. View our available downloads now!
On March 8, 2010, the Board of Directors voted to change the organization’s name to SPokenword LAB or SPLAB. SPLAB continues as a laboratory of consciousness using the spoken and written word to build community and teach people how to deepen their own consciousness through a writing discipline.
Said of host Paul Nelson:
“…a genius interviewer and visionary” – Larry Dossey, M.D.
“(his) sense of the mythic is down and dirty as well as sublime” – Jean Houston
“…a real radio intuitive” – Mona Lisa Schultz, M.D., Ph.D.
“…An original thinker and poet of the airwaves.” – Jane Leavy, Author
