The Sacred

Since 2017, The Sacred has been creating space for a different kind of conversation—one that doesn’t fuel the algorithm’s appetite for outrage, but addresses our deeper hunger for understanding. With 750k listeners annually, it has become a refuge for the curious: those willing to sit with discomfort, listen beyond their tribe, and discover the hidden values that drive people across the ideological spectrum.

From poets to politicians, activists to academics, host Elizabeth Oldfield invites each guest to explore the formative beliefs and experiences that have made them who they are. In a world that rewards contempt, The Sacred offers something radical: an antidote to the algorithm through the patient, unhurried work of listening across division. New episodes every other Wednesday.
