Repossessing Virtue: Living Differently, Beyond Economic Crisis (May 14, 2009)
About this episode
A new installment in our ongoing series, Repossessing Virtue, bringing the voices of our listeners into the conversation we've been building online and on-air since the economic downturn began last year. Many are grappling with the shame that comes in American culture with the loss of a job, and many are seeking community in old places and new. For some, economic instability -- a kind of life on the edge -- is not new. They've been cultivating virtues of patience, self-examination, service and good humor that might help us all.
