Radicals for Good

Radicals for Good is a podcast and network that aims to encourage everyday people to take small yet revolutionary action towards collective good. Our podcast is a means to amplify and support the radical work happening across the globe but always connecting back to our hometown of Detroit, Michigan – one of the most radical cities with some of the most radical thinkers and leaders in the country. It aims to shift the stigmatized verbiage of ‘radical’ to a more accepted and fluid adjective. Hosted
