Illogical by TRUTH

On our show, today is Thomas Barrie. His perspective on the personal meaning that housing holds in our culture is helpful for our audience to hear. 

We cover questions regarding-
  • In your book, you stated that home is a complex word that is typically charged with personal meanings... Why is that?
  • During your exploration of the idea of homelessness, you mentioned that in history it has played a redemptive role. How would you define redemptive and can you give us some examples? 
  • What is one thing you think people should know about housing?

What is Illogical by TRUTH?

Hosted by Terrance Ruth, this podcast decodes the language, decisions and hidden areas of local power that often seems illogical to residents. Our goal is to empower people to engage locally and to understand how significant it is to be aware and active at the local level. Once local government is logical, it will become meaningful and provide the benefits that allows for people to live a thriving life.
