Our show

Reflector is a documentary-style podcast that tells stories about the strange experiences of being human. Our stories focus on how beliefs shape our world, on the context behind the messy debates in our society, and on how deeply listening to one another can reveal a sense of shared humanity. Our goal is to spark wonder, unveil complexity, and ignite curiosity.

Our mission

We believe that there’s nothing more important to a culture than the stories that shape its values and sense of what’s possible. Reflector aims to report and tell stories that celebrate moral complexity and nuance. We merge meticulous reporting with compelling storytelling to illuminate the era's most urgent issues.  By telling a gripping story with sincerity and even handedness, we hope to help people see beyond their biases and shore up the foundations of a pluralistic society.
