Podcast appearances and mentions of misha euceph

Rob's interview with Misha Euceph is one of his favorites. As he says, she's very clear, engaging, and insightful about the craft of audio storytelling. On this archive episode of the show from 2019, they discuss why Misha believed it was important to start each episode of her podcast "Tell Them, I Am" with a personal anecdote.  

MPR News host Kerri Miller has never skirted the topic of faith.On her former weekday show, she regularly dialoged with leaders like Jenan Mohajir from Interfaith America, activist and author Anne Lamott, theologian Jemar Tisby, Sister Joan Chittister, and evangelical disrupter Rachel Held Evans. She even did a year-long series with women from a variety of faith backgrounds in 2019. So it seemed fitting, during the 2024 winter member drive, to return to this theme and remember a few of the best conversations. Included are portions of Miller's recent discussion with Pastor Amy Butler, who penned the memoir, “Beautiful and Terrible Things;” Miller's 2019 conversation with podcaster Misha Euceph about being Muslim in America; and a snippet of the 2023 Talking Volumes season finale with author Margaret Renkl about why Renkl left the Catholic church of her upbringing and found a new one in nature.

Denna jul är inget sig likt i Betlehem, om influencers i USA som uppmuntrar sina följare att läsa Koranen som ett stöd för palestinierna; och om hur samfund i Järva anordnar aktiviteter för unga.

Hör prästen Sally Azar i Betlehem om en annorlunda jul: ”I år är julgranen dekorerad med våra böner, ingen här har lust att fira jul när vårt folk dör bara någon timme härifrån.”Det har gått två månader sedan Hamas attack i Israel och i spåren av kriget som följde har Islam fått ett uppsving i sociala medier där unga amerikaner uppmuntrar varandra att läsa koranen och konvertera till Islam. Många av de som hakar på trenden tycker att koranens budskap är förenliga med progressiva värderingar. Hör bland andra Misha Euceph, podcast-producent som driver Quran Book Club på Instagram, Luke Burgis, författare som skrivit boken ”Wanting: The Power of Mimetic Desire in Everyday Life” och Simon Sorgenfrei, professor i religionsvetenskap vid Södertörns högskola.Många talar om att gängkriminaliteten bäst motarbetas genom att nå unga tidigt. Vilken skillnad kan trossamfunden göra för att vara en trygg plats för unga?

This week, Baratunde digs into the world of Universal Basic Income and Guaranteed Income, in other words distributing money, much like we do when we subsidize farmers or oil companies, but instead to individual households. Where does this money come from? Who gets the money? Will people still work? What will people even spend it on? And how on earth does free cash help our economy? Baratunde sits down with Aisha Nyandoro to find out what exactly happens when you give people in extreme poverty a thousand dollars a month, no strings attached.   Guest: Aisha Nyandoro - CEO of Springboard To Opportunities Twitter: @aisha_nyandoro Bio: Aisha Nyandoro is the Chief Executive Officer of Springboard To Opportunities.

ACTIONS PERSONALLY REFLECT  Change the story Consider the commonly told stories you’ve heard about poverty in America. Stories like “people are poor because of bad choices,” “poor folks are uneducated,” and “never give spare change to a homeless person because they’ll use it on drugs.” Now flip those stories. Think about the systems at play that keep people poor. Things like predatory payday lending, doctor-prescribed opioids, red-lining, social welfare programs with unrealistic thresholds, and drug-related incarceration rates for people of color.

Workers have long been excluded from financial gains when businesses become profitable, and wages are no longer a way to create stability and build wealth. Cooperatives were created to combat this very problem. This week features Jamila Medley, the former Executive Director of the Philadelphia Area Cooperative Alliance (PACA), a co-op OF co-ops. PACA works to support this business model across industries, from food, to banking, to electricity! Guest: Jamila Medley - Former Executive Director of Philadelphia Area Cooperative Alliance Twitter: @PhillyCoops Bio: Jamila Medley is a passionate advocate and educator for the advancement and growth of the cooperative economy. In her work with existing and start-up co-ops, she provides support for leadership development, cooperative economics education, navigating group dynamics, and creating adaptive systems to support group process and learning.  SHOW NOTES + LINKS Go to howtocitizen.com to sign up for show news, AND (coming soon!) to start your How to Citizen Practice.

Just like Jamila’s experience growing up, cooperatives don’t always have to be formal organizations. What are some informal ways you have participated in collective stewardship? Perhaps a community garden? Local park clean-up? Or in church? Think about the ways you cooperate with your community, local and global!   BECOME INFORMED Collective Courage We’ve got some homework for you! Per Jamila’s suggestion, start with reading Collective Courage: A History of African American Cooperative Economic Thought and Practice by Jessica Gordon Nembhard. Collective Courage chronicles Black cooperative business ownership and its place in the civil rights movement. A history that’s often forgotten when discussing coops. Purchase it from our online bookstore, and support local bookshops in the process. https://bookshop.org/shop/howtocitizen  PUBLICLY PARTICIPATE Join or Support A Coop Near You You’d be surprised how many cooperatives are operating right around you. Look into either buying from a local farm or grocery coop, joining a local credit union which is a financial co-op, or even getting your power from an electric coop. The best way to find some is do an online search with the name of your city or state and the word cooperatives. We also encourage you to buy from cooperative businesses.

Racism, exclusion, and unchecked corporate growth have trapped an entire class of people in poverty, no matter how hard they work. We call them the “working poor.” This week, workers’ rights advocate Ai-jen Poo shows Baratunde how it’s possible to work several jobs and still struggle to make ends meet — and how domestic workers are fighting for a future where all workers receive the dignity and fairness they deserve. Guest: Ai-jen Poo - Co-Founder and Executive Director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance Twitter: @aijenpoo Bio: Ai-jen Poo is the Co-Founder and Executive Director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance, a non-profit organization working to bring quality work, dignity, and fairness to the growing numbers of workers who care and clean in our homes, the majority of whom are immigrants and women of color.

Bonus points: Give them a shout out, call them, and just let them know that you appreciate them.   BECOME INFORMED Be an Ethical Employer, even at home.

In 2021 it’s non-negotiable: quality home internet is something we all need. Our entire economy, along with almost all other aspects of our lives, relies on access to the internet. This reality is why many argue that it should be treated as a public good and operated like a public utility instead of run by a handful of corporations that leave many people underserved. This week, Baratunde sits down with technologist Bruce Patterson to learn how the small city of Ammon, Idaho gives its residents access to high speed internet through its own state-of-the-art, public broadband infrastructure.  Guest: Bruce Patterson - Technology Director for the City of Ammon, Idaho Bio: Bruce Patterson is the mastermind behind the ‘Ammon Model,’ which focuses on the separation of broadband infrastructure from broadband service, both technically and economically. During his tenure at the City of Ammon, Bruce was responsible for the creation and management of the Ammon Fiber Network. He managed everything from strategy and implementation including legal, public process, financial, construction, and technical aspects.

What else could you imagine working better if it was run by the people and served more of us?   BECOME INFORMED Other Public Options Basically our participation in society and our lives now rely on the internet. Bruce helped meet that essential need by having the local government operate a network, but it’s not the only way, and internet access isn’t the only service. Find out more about community efforts to own services from broadband to banking through the links below: Community broadband  Community Broadband: The Fast, Affordable Internet Option That's Flying Under the Radar Postal Banking Ted Talk by Mehrsa Baradaran or read the white paper here   PUBLICLY PARTICIPATE Municipal Broadband in YOUR Community If this topic excites you on your citizen journey, consider joining a community broadband effort near you or learning from one in order to lead an effort in your town or city.

Our extreme wealth inequality isn’t just caused by economic exclusion; we are also struggling with the concentration of corporate power. Simply put, most of our money flows directly into the pockets of a few wealthy individuals.
