20 podcasts to help you find creative ways to build peace and justice in the world
“Human existence cannot be silent, nor can it be nourished by false words, but only by true words, with which people transform the world.” — Paulo Freire
Working for peace and justice can be stressful. And at times, it is an isolating endeavor. One must not only be thinking deeply to understand the causes of the issues you are engaging with, but also think of creative ways to transform them and take action. The issues we’re dealing with are complex and dynamic, and there is often little guidance available to help us decide our next move.
Often overlooked, an excellent resource that can help you to learn creative approaches to build peace and justice is podcasts. And while many podcasts discuss current events, few talk about strategies for change. But they are out there. You have to know where to find them. I’m a big fan of podcasts and have been collecting my favorites on the topic of building peace and justice for some years now.
So I’ve got twenty recommended podcasts here to help you find creative ways to build peace and justice. Some have been around for many years, others are new, and a few are discontinued but still have episodes available. I have organized accordingly. Some are produced by large organizations, some by universities, and some by individuals or small groups. Each is unique in some way. Take a look and see what calls out to you.
I’ve put the links to the podcast websites here and the organization that hosts each, with a description and one recommended episode to help you get a good sense of the flavor of each podcast. You can access each of these via its website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Play, Podbean, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
