Episode Details

Glen Hansard, Grammy-winning musician and tireless activist, used his iconic Dublin busking to tackle the housing crisis head-on, urging compassion for both the homeless and asylum seekers—groups he insists must be supported together, not pitted against each other. From his Ukraine solidarity marches to his decades-long Christmas Eve charity gigs for the Dublin Simon Community, Hansard proves music isn’t just for entertainment—it’s a force for justice. Even after pandemic pauses, his live performances have returned with renewed purpose, reminding us that art and activism can—and must—walk hand in hand to build a more empathetic world.
