Shane Claiborne joins us this week for the podcast. Shane is his usual hospitable, nicest guy in the world, self. He waxes poetic with us about justice, poverty, and economics with his east Tennessee southern drawl.

At one point, Nick accused Shane of spamming him for money after his home burned to the ground. Which almost made Shane cry. But Nick recovered and apologized and we all moved ahead better people because of it.

If you know anything about Shane, you know that he’s a stand up guy and beyond gracious. Josh even tried to bait him into civil disobedience talk once and Shane stayed above the fray as usual.For more information about Shane, check out his community over at thesimpleway.com.

You can also check out the litany we mentioned that Shane did at Catalyst this past year. Or you can watch it in the video player on our front page.
