Doing Good podcast launches to document how people turn care into sustained action

# What the podcast is and why it exists

Doing Good is a new podcast produced by Docufilms, a nonprofit production company based in Santa Fe that has won an Emmy. The series launches on September 15, 2026. Its organizing idea is simple: doing good is a practice. The episodes focus on how people notice needs, accept responsibility, and show up repeatedly so that care becomes meaningful action.

# Hosts and format

The show is co-hosted by Anna Farrier, Gabriella Marks, and Michael Campbell. Each episode uses intimate, story-led conversations to introduce listeners to people working in their communities—individuals, nonprofit leaders, entrepreneurs, volunteers, and others. The podcast intentionally goes beyond celebrating accomplishments to explore the decisions, relationships, and responsibilities that sustain work over time.

# What kinds of stories the show will tell

Doing Good seeks guests whose work illustrates different forms of care turned into action. Early episodes highlight:

• Zachariah Ben: a sixth-generation Diné farmer, sand painter, and founder of Bidii Baby Foods, representing cultural preservation and food entrepreneurship.
• Eric Sirotkin: an attorney and mediator behind the Ubuntu Works Project, whose practice centers on healing, deep listening, and finding common ground.
• Juliana Ciano: co-founder of Reunity Resources, a project that converts community waste into soil and creates partnerships around food production.

# The podcast's practical aim

Doing Good positions itself as more than inspirational storytelling. The hosts want listeners to understand the motivations behind people's commitments—what prompts someone to step forward, what keeps them engaged, and what others can learn and adopt in their own contexts. By examining choices and relationships, episodes aim to surface practical lessons about sustaining community work.

# How listeners can participate

Listeners are invited to submit nominations of people they know who are making a positive impact. Story suggestions can be submitted via the podcast website at doinggood.fm. The show aims to feature a range of grassroots actors as well as organizational leaders.

# Who produced it

# What to expect in episodes

Expect conversational interviews that dig into origins of work, the day-to-day practices that sustain it, and the interpersonal and organizational dynamics involved. The series foregrounds real-world examples rather than abstractions about goodness.

# Where to find the show

The launch date is September 15, 2026. The podcast's website is doinggood.fm, which also accepts story nominations and provides information about the series and its contributors.
