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.

Change continues at The Common Good Podcast - new software and a new collaborator in Gerald “Jerry” Iversen. Jerry gives mostly serious insights about how jubilee economics and voluntary simple living come together in practical ways.
Change is in the wind at The Common Good Podcast. We’ve got a new studio environment, a new software program, a new opportunity to employ Skype to conduct conversations, and most of all, a new collaborator in Gerald Iversen, our feature conversation partner for this month. With all this change happening at once, Ed reflects on how this puts TCGP into a new era, version 4.
Okay, we have to admit it. Jubilee Economics Ministries has a big idea that not everyone gets. When you’re trying (like we are) to take on a world class issue that encompasses a vast swath of history and attempts to deal with the microcosmic and macrocosmic concepts of economics, it gets a little hard to follow. It’s a big job trying to get the world to think another way, and while we’ve done a range of things and employed various media, sometimes we miss the forest for the trees, and things take a bit more explanation why things are how they are with JEM.
Now that The Common Good Podcast has been going on for about a year and a half now, and now that a new year is starting, Lee reflects on how JEM has worked reciprocally to serve content and to be shaped by our guests and friends who have left their feedback for either the podcast or the blog. We’d like to see more of that happening and we encourage listeners and readers to comment and add input that we can use within our blog and podcast.
This month’s show is a conversation between Lee Van Ham and Michael Johnson. Lee and Michael are collaborating on a project based on Lee’s book-in-progress,The Eden We Can Choose: Moving to a One-Earth Economy and the Stories That Get Us There.
