Radio Interview: Live From the Heartland this Saturday, May 5

So, in case you haven't noticed by now I'm from Chicago. And this Saturday, May 5, I'll be on WLUW's (88.7 FM) Live From the Heartland at 9 a.m. It's broadcast from the Heartland Cafe in Rogers Park, practically an institution for progressive causes in the city for many years. I'll be talking about the fair trade movement and also have a chance to promote Chicago Fair Trade's World Fair Trade Day event on May 12 (see posting below from 5/1). The interview will likely address some of the differences between "Fair Trade" and "Direct Trade," a new trend among coffee roasters and retailers (i.e., Intelligentsia, Whole Foods, Starbucks). Hopefully, we'll get into some suggestions of ways people can take action to promote trade justice as well. Listen in.
