Check Out Basic Income - UBI4ALL Podcast
This is the #Check out basic income podcast. At UBI4ALL we are committed to promoting the topic of basic income. And what better way of doing that, than to discuss the topic with those who work on the topic, argue in favour of it or just like to see it come true?! That's why we set out to interview activists, politicians and academics who for years have been working on basic income? Interested in knowing more about it? Every month or so we release a new episode. Feel free to subscribe. And if you want to know more about our organisation, visit our website @ ubi4all.org.

Episode #2 | Sarath Davala (part 2)
In this second episode of our #checkoutbasicincome podcast we had the enormous pleasure of interviewing Sarath Davala - President of the Basic Income Earth Network (BIEN), the main organization spearheading the activism in favor of UBI across the world.
In this episode Sarath tells us about the history and mandate of BIEN, but also about Sarath's work with UBI, namely his experience with basic income experiments, while also telling us about his UBI utopia.
