I launched “
We Are Many,” my first podcast series, in April 2013 to “tell stories of people working for change and how that work, in turn, changes them.” Over the next couple years, working as producer and host, I interviewed a wide range of activists and organizers around the world, including former Greenpeace International Executive Director
Kumi Naidoo, 2014 Goldman Environmental Prize winner
Helen Slottje and The Yes Men’s
Andy Bichlbaum. While most episodes were one-on-one interviews, several were done in a narrative storytelling format. These included the profiles of a
Burmese pro-democracy activist returning home for the first time in 25 years, an
anti-torture activist fighting to close the detention camp in Guantánamo Bay, and
peace activists working in the boxing industry.
