Hearing "This I Believe" On Love
ResumeThe long-running radio hit "This I Believe" asks what we believe about love.
Back in the 1950s, broadcast legend Edward R. Murrow invited Americans to share what they really believed in short essays for radio – and many did.
Listeners heard "This I Believe" from Jackie Robinson, Helen Keller, Harry Truman and many ordinary Americans.
In the last decade, "This I Believe" came back to the airwaves. And many Americans wanted to share what they believed about love.
Today we’re dipping in to those heartfelt beliefs – about new love, old love, love when things are tough.
“This I Believe” – and what we believe about love.
