The Poor Can Feed The Birds is hosted by Tom Tanuki, and covers participatory politics and activism around Australia.  It covers rallies and actions upcoming and past, and takes part in the growing activist movement to change Australia and the world - while talking to the people at the front lines.

How to express concerns over Chinese surveillance state apparatus, and the threat of it coming over here, without falling into the company of unhinged conspiracy theorists? Can we ask questions about how China has handled the pandemic without playing into the hands of nationalists, racists and war hawks? Are there seriously 5G surveillance state promo commercials in China?? What's the HUMAN FLESH SEARCH ENGINE??? To answer these questions I talked to Dr Kaz, an Asian Studies researcher at an Australian university, about all things China. An excellent yarn! All this and more in this... the latest ep of WAR ROOM: PANDEMIC. https://patreon.com/tomtanuki

014 - The Lads Society (ft. slackbastard)

I chat to dedicated animal rights activist and friend Betty Melon, and learn about AR activism, consistent anti-oppression, the communication breakdowns that happen between AR and non-AR activists and how we might avoid them.  Also we discuss far-right kooks who hang about AR rallies with raw steaks in their mouth clearly loving life, and various big-name vegan foghorns like Joey Carbstrong, Freelee the Banana Girl and Anonymous for the Voiceless - and how they don't represent consistent anti-oppression.     Links from Betty:   '   * Consistent Anti-Oppression:  http://www.consistentantioppression.com/     * Christopher Sebastian article: https://www.christophersebastian.info/post/2018/10/20/if-veganism-is-racist-and-classist-bad-news-for-nonveganism     * Eating Animals and the Alt-Right: https://youtu.be/PvHMEAy2A7o  * Vegan Voices of Colour:   https://veganvoicesofcolor.com/    * Food is Power:   https://foodispower.org/    * Species Revolution:   https://www.speciesrevolution.org/home_mobile/     SUPPORT YA BOY ON PATREON:  https://patreon.com/tomtanuki

015 - Animal Rights Activism (ft. Betty Melon)

I speak to Sophia, a healthcare worker and a mate, about her experience contracting - and not dying of - COVID-19.  We talk about what it's like... the shocking treatment she received in Victorian Government hotel quarantine... the all-staff email she sent to an entire DHHS department just to get them to do something...  and why she's currently got her face stuck in a big tin of Nescafe Blend 43.    support ya boy: https://patreon.com/tomtanuki

I speak to the lads from the As A White Man podcast.  We discuss their fine town of Newcastle, how much everyone really enjoys and understands the name of their podcast, and the importance of calling out gronks. We also force Newcastle's shame Isaac Butterfield to meet us in the Honeysuckle Precinct at midnight to hand over his unsolicited dick pics.  * 'AS A WHITE MAN' POD:  https://twitter.com/asawhiteman  * SUPPORT ME ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/tomtanuki
