At 5pm on Friday, February 21st, Bon Iver's Justin Vernon will come together with the Peabody-award winning broadcaster, National Humanities Medalist, and New York Times bestselling author, Krista Tippett, of The On Being Project. In a wide-ranging conversation to close out the annual On Air Fest, the two will meet for the first time, and sit down to discuss music, morals and the process of healing: retreats and resets, clarity and change, love and light. Taking place on the Main Stage of Brooklyn's Wythe Hotel, Vernon and Tippett will share stories and consider some of On Being's central questions: What does it mean to be human? How do we want to live? And who will we be to each other?

Tickets for On Air Fest are available at onairfest.com, but for those who cannot join in-person, audio of the conversation will stream live via KCRW's on-site internet radio broadcast, and will later be available in the feed of the award-winning podcast, On Being.
