Elizabeth Oldfield is a British broadcaster and author who helps bridge deep cultural and political divides through empathetic inquiry. As the former director of the Theos Think Tank, she hosts The Sacred podcast, where she employs a long-form interview format to explore the core values of public figures ranging from activist George Monbiot to journalist Cathy Newman. Her approach replaces standard debate with curiosity, specifically utilizing a recurring 'Magic Questions' segment to uncover what guests hold as non-negotiable in their personal and professional lives. In 2024, she published her debut book, Fully Alive: Tending to the Free Wild Places of the Spirit, which examines modern societal pressures through a theological lens. Oldfield recently expanded her reach into digital community building via her Substack, offering deep-dive essays that translate complex philosophical concepts for a general audience. Her work is a fixture in UK media, including regular contributions to BBC Radio 4’s Thought for the Day.
