Douglas Jones
Co-Host
Doug is a political and community activist and a refugee from Silicon Valley. He has formed a number of small non-profits and served on local and state boards. Born in the Midwest, he has lived on both east and west coasts. His primary interest is in the effects of fear in our society, particularly ending violence against women, human trafficking, and assuring that children grow up free from the threat of violence.
When he asked "Why do they call domestic violence a 'women's issue' when it is primarily men who cause it?" Marty knew he would be an ideal co-host for this podcast.
Doug has passions for American history, independent film, and baseball. He has also appeared on PBS and the History Channel.
