Marianne Williamson on The Keith Edwards Show
– 8/17/25
Author and former presidential candidate Marianne Williamson has been positively shaping the conversation around politics and spirituality for decades. I’ve come to greatly appreciate her informed and insightful perspective.
Recently, Williamson was a guest on The Keith Edwards Show. It’s a great 30-minute interview with a woman whom I consider the “Cassandra of U.S. politics,” and whom philosopher and social critic Cornel West says is “one of the few in the higher echelons of public life and public conversation who understand the intimate relation between the spiritual and the social, the personal and the political, and the existential and the economic.”
Continues West: “It’s very rare that people have this synoptic vision, [one that ensures that] spirituality, morality, and integrity sit at the center and at the beginning of any serious discussion about the relation of a self and a society.”
Just such a discussion takes place in Keith Edward’s interview with Marianne Williamson.
