On June 23, 2015, Joseph Campbell interviewed Mick Luber at his Blue Bird Organic Farm in Cadiz, Ohio, for the Gas Rush project. The interview explores Luber's upbringing in a coal mining community in Adena, Ohio, his diverse career path, and his eventual establishment of an organic farm. Luber discusses his early influences, including his father’s union activism and his mother’s community involvement, and how these shaped his environmental and agricultural advocacy.

Luber reflects on his role in founding the Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association (OEFFA), his organic farming practices, and his opposition to hydraulic fracturing (fracking). He details the environmental and community impacts of fracking in his region, including compromised groundwater and air quality, and his efforts to resist leasing his land for fracking. Luber also shares his concerns about the lack of regulatory oversight and the long-term consequences of fracking on agriculture and the environment.

Additionally, Luber recounts his experiences in alternative education, including an attempt to establish a free school in Columbus, Ohio, and his tenure teaching in inner-city Chicago. The interview highlights his observations on systemic inequalities in education and the challenges faced by marginalized communities.
