It’s been a little over two years since we embarked on this journey to give Quakers a platform in the digital age. We believe Quakers have something to offer in the 21st century, and by telling our stories and exploring our practices, we can both deepen and broaden the modern Quaker movement.

This project—Thee Quaker Podcast—is part of our ecosystem of online Quaker media, along with The Daily Quaker Message and Quaker Videos, all published by Thee Quaker Project.

Now with thousands of readers, listeners, and viewers around the world, Thee Quaker Project is bringing daily inspiration and courage to seekers and Quakers and supporting them to take the next steps on their spiritual journeys.

Please consider supporting Thee Quaker Project with a gift of any size. It is only because of listeners like you that any of these projects exist at all.
