Podcasting is an important component in the educational work of OneEarth Living. Each month we interview someone who works with alternatives to MultiEarth living and shows ways for us to deepen our commitment to compassionate, essential OneEarth living. In the 2020s, we all need to be training one another in the more radical changes that Earth is requiring of us to keep the planet livable. The episodes are created in collaboration with Simple Living Works, hence the name Simpler OneEarth Living. Gerald Iversen and Lee Van Ham are co-hosts.
