Progressive Podcast Australia

Nick, Katie and friends shoot the shit about social justice issues, politics and pop culture. We discuss current events and political issues from a progressive perspective that is pro-animal liberation, anti-racist, pro-feminist, pro-queer, pro-environment and anti-capitalist. Our podcast gives a voice to Left, progressive and anarchist voices and ideas that are neglected in the mainstream media.
