The Common Good Podcast - Jubilee Economics Ministries

The Common Good Podcast
A Production of Jubilee Economics

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.

Episode 7 :: David Funkhouser and Fair Trade for Dummies

david funkhouser David Funkhouser of Fair Trade USA (formerly TransFair USA) is our featured guest for this episode which coincides with Fair Trade month (October). David is Strategic Relations coordinator for FTUSA in Oakland and just finished a day of presenting at three universities before coming to meet and talk with us. He talks about his attraction to and involvement in the movement, the origins of FT, the processes for certifying cooperatives that produce the goods, and how FT meets needs of smaller producers better than the so-called free trade market, ensuring that participating farmers and artisans can remain situated in their homelands, as dignified and productive citizens.
