A Vegan Utopia? Animal Rights Themes in Pluribus
Adam, Hayden, Lottie and Nick discuss whether the show Pluribus (Apple TV) promotes a pro-animal rights message, including highlighting the “straw man” arguments against veganism in the show and in fan reactions to it. We also cover what we’d each do in the Pluribus scenario, not necessarily advocating for cannibalism, and the Pluribus as an analogy for communism while the main character Carol represents capitalism/rugged individualism. Radiothon: Thanks again to everyone who has donated to our Radiothon campaign! With donations for our show via Givenow and the 3CR site combined, we have now reached over 90% of our $1,700 target. If you’d like to help keep our show and 3CR going, you can get us over the line here: https://www.givenow.com.au/cr/FreedomofSpecies We appreciate any support!

Animal liberation: Shared goal, diverse tactics
In this episode Lottie and Nick talked about diversity of tactics, innovation of tactics and radical flank effects in social movements, and what animal (or any other!) activists can learn from these phenomena. We argue for unity in fighting for our common goal of ANIMAL LIBERATION. But we discuss how diverse tactics, both radical and moderate, can be positive for social movements. Resources we drew from: "Rebels With a Cause: Public Attitudes on Radical Protest Actions A Review of Empirical Evidence of Radical Flank Effects" by Chamberlain & Madsen (2025): https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s42087-025-00485-y#ref-CR18 "Waves of Contention: Relations among Radical, Moderate, and Conservative Movement Organizations" by Robnett, Glasser and Trammell (2015): https://www.emerald.com/books/edited-volume/12925/chapter-abstract/83298261/Waves-of-Contention-Relations-among-Radical "Choosing Tactics: Evidence from Social Movement Theory" by Max Carpendalehttps://www.animalask.org/post/choosing-tactics-evidence-from-social-movement-theory This episode covers similar themes to our May 31st 2026 episode, "Vegan stereotypes: In defence of the preachy vegan!" https://www.3cr.org.au/freedomofspecies/episode/vegan-stereotypes-defence-preachy-vegan Music: Strange Fruit - Billie Holiday A Change is Gonna Come - Sam Cooke Mississippi Goddam - Nina Simone Donate before the end of July to keep Freedom of Species and 3CR on the air.

Radiothon Animal Trivia Show 2026
On Sunday June 14th 2026, the Freedom of Species team had yet another nail-biting animal trivia show to raise donations for 3CR's Radiothon 2026! This year is special as it is 3CR's 50th birthday!! Listen along to our trivia show - Can you guess the answers before the listeners? CORRECTION: The animal sound played in the show was in fact a quail, not a bandicoot!! Trev apologises sincerely. Luckily no one guessed quail although we did lead listeners astray by saying the animal was not a bird... Donate to the 3CR Radiothon: We finished the show $200 under our Radiothon target! Thanks to all our amazing listeners!! Please support 3CR Community Radio so we can keep operating as a genuinely independent and non-commercial broadcast service. Donations are the best way to keep animal advocacy and other radical radio on the airwaves. You can donate via the GiveNow page: https://givenow.com.au/cr/freedomofspecies. Or call 3CR during business hours (+61 3 9419 8377) or donate via the 3CR website (https://www.3cr.org.au/donate) and nominate Freedom of Species. Help us reach our target by the end of July!
