NOTICE! PLEASE RESUBSCRIBE (free). We’ve changed our distributor which had become unreliable. Please go to right hand column on this page, scroll down to “TCGP Subscription Options” and resubscribe. We appreciate your interest and loyalty.
Why do we produce TCGP? Because as an economy shaped by corporations and capital has gone global, the common good has more often suffered than benefitted. AND because the OneEarth economy we talk about (we often call it jubilee) is irrevocably committed to the common good.
Begun in 2010, by Lee Van Ham and Ed Lucas, The Common Good Podcast (TCGP) is now directed by Lee Van Ham with Jerry Iversen as co-host. Jerry also does the editing and most production work. Episodes feature conversations with people who are growing in the consciousness of living a OneEarth economy, meaning that they search for choices they can make daily to best fit their lives into the abundance of our one planet home. Interviewees talk about their workplace, congregation, organization, or personal lives.
We interview people who we believe are contributing substantively to Earth’s full community of life — people who seek to live with sufficient incomes, fair access and distribution of power, and in right relationship with all species and with the planet. This OneEarth worldview is, we believe, infused with the sacred and expressed in diverse spiritualities.

From 1971-1976, Earl Butz was Sec’y of Agriculture under Presidents Nixon and Ford. He had a mantra for farmers across America: “Get big or get out.” On this episode we’re talking about people who never believed Earl Butz.
How many businesses can you name that you use because they are on the sustainability journey? Harry Watkins, professor in the business school at Point Loma Nazaren University, returns to TCGP to tell us about a few businesses that he knows of PLUS a guide for online shopping that helps us pick the most sustainable version of whatever product it is that we’re looking for. Businesses on the sustainability journey help us walk it too.
Harry Watkins, former marketing consultant to businesses, and currently teaching in the Fermanian School of Business at Point Loma Nazarene University, shares his conversion to sustainability, how generating sustainable businesses is part of what his evangelical faith requires, and how he’s joined with other faculty to change the curriculum to show that being sustainable in business is no longer a nice option if you can work it in, but is essential to good business.
Martin L. King, Jr.’s speech “Where Do We Go from Here?” gives us inspiration to give voice to what others are remaining silent about. African-Americans have repeatedly raised their voices and marched their feet for right relationships in America when America’s too-white leadership kept silent, retaining their positions of power unfairly.
Barry Ladendorf is a veteran of the VietNam War. But by the time he was into his third tour of duty, on a naval ship stationed off the coast, he no longer believed that the war was succeeding nor that it was making the world safe for democracy. The U.S. gov’t persisted in claiming both.
This podcast features some of our thoughts about learning to live in the Presence of the sacred. JEM followers have urged us to talk about how we link the Common Good practices that we talk about on this show to our spirituality; to do it explicitly, not just vaguely. So in this episode we give it a go.
The 2012 elections accentuate explicitly the overwhelming dollars pouring into government in the U.S., whithering democracy in the hot sun of their influence. This is what Bob Edgar actively resists in his work as President and CEO of Common Cause.
