"Animals can communicate quite well. And they do. And generally speaking, they are ignored"
- Alice Walker
Freedom of Species is about animals.
Humans are just one of the nearly nine million species sharing this planet. For one hour a week we put the 'other' animals up front and centre.
It's not just a David Attenborough animal love-fest. The show explores all disciplines that have a fascination and an appreciation of animals and a passion to fight for a better world for all animals: conservation, philosophy, sociology, art, literature, science, film, history, politics and the vegan and animal rights movements.
The show is hosted by a team of Melbourne-based animal advocates, presenting local & international news, interviews and music from this vibrant social justice movement.
Tune in to hear debates and updates on a broad range of animal issues - from front line activism to academic theory, good tunes and tips on compassionate living. Yes, you can have your vegan cake and everyone wants to eat it too!
You can subscribe to our show on iTunes as well as other apps that are also suitable for Android such as Spotify and TuneIn. In addition to listening to our podcast via TuneIn, you can also use this app to listen to our shows live – Sundays 1-2pm Melbourne time.
Well, 2020 really was a remarkable year! It’s been great to reflect on the incredible strength and resilience of our incredible community radio station in the face of a global pandemic. Read all about it in our 2020 Annual report, and don’t forget to continue to support us where and when you can.
It’s 30 years since the Royal Commission released its final report into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody. Since then, the deaths have continued, and there’s still no justice. Legendary broadcaster Robbie Thorpe will host a live broadcast TODAY from the National Day of Action – Stop Aboriginal Deaths in Custody – Black Lives Matter rally from 1-2pm. We encourage listeners to attend on the steps of Parliament House, Melbourne, but if you can’t, tune in for live coverage. Listen live.
