‘Guaranteed’: Meet John

“Guaranteed” is a podcast about what happens when regular people receive direct cash assistance, known as guaranteed income. It’s a show about the choices people make, the dreams they pursue, and the impossible things that become a little more possible when their money is guaranteed. We’re featuring this episode about John, a minister, grandfather, military veteran, and former Freedom Rider who lives on the West Side of Chicago and is a participant in the guaranteed income pilot run by the City of Chicago.

“Guaranteed” is created by Respair Production & Media and Eve L. Ewing, with support from the Economic Security Project.

In case you missed it, go back and listen to our episode with “Guaranteed” host Eve L. Ewing about how guaranteed income works and the different programs around Chicago.
