Description

What if communities were at the center of local making and manufacturing in the U.S.? This inspiring podcast shows what that looks like through interviews with people building production ecosystems where benefits flow to workers, neighbors, and places. Their stories and expertise remind us that values like equity, humility, care, and shared stewardship are the building blocks of healthy local economies.
