On episode 281 Nick and Lotties I Think You Should Leave addiction is enabled and encouraged by Kevin, Jared and James from Thats a Chunky podcast (an ITYSL show). We focus on representations of gender in ITYSL, with the show punching sideways on gender, challenging the behaviour of other men. We focus on how gender is portrayed in the sketches: Instagram, Game Night, Jamie Taco and Coffin Flop. Also covered is neurodiversity, introversion and empathy amongst ITYSL fans. The show is wrapped up by briefly indulging Nicks Andy Kaufman obsession, focusing on connections between Kaufman and ITYSL, with Kevin recommending the video The Other Tim From Allentown as an example of Kaufman-esque comedy from Tim Robinson: https://www.youtube.com/watch/1qLHb2GxL2Q We had two ITYSL discussions with Thats a Chunky and you can check out the other discussion, covering gender and the politics of the ITYSL fandom, Australian versus US comedy and references and more, on their show: https://anchor.fm/thats-a-chunky/episodes/Episode-39-Crossover-Episode-with-Progressive-Podcast-Australia-e1n4lq0 Music: ITYSL music from series 2 (Netflix), Alien by The Interrupters.

2017 ICAS OCEANIA CONFERENCE - Forging Alliances and Intersections Dr Yamini Narayanan on Cow Protectionism And Indian Animal AdvocacyAudio provided by Progressive Podcast Australia https://progressivepodcastaustralia.com/Dr Yamini Narayanan is an ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA) Senior Fellow at the Alfred Deakin Institute for Citizenship and Globalisation.Her work explores the notion that that religion influences urban development in India, and must inform policy. India's scale and speed of urbanisation makes its sustainable urban development critical globally, yet modernist urban planning has failed to address slum growth, poverty, gender inequality and ecological crises.More recently, her research has begun investigate to the ways in which animals – particularly those regarded as heritage or sacred icons in India, such as cattle – are invoked as symbols of human identity politics and/or as resources for growth in cities. Animals have a significant yet invisible role of in city building, and urban religion can be complicit in enabling animal exploitation for urban development. Her work now also seeks to develop frameworks for multi-species inclusive urban planningInstitute for Critical Animal Studieshttp://www.criticalanimalstudies.org/Dr. Yamini Narayanan http://www.deakin.edu.au/about-deakin/people/yamini-narayananDr. Yamini Narayanan article Dairy, Death and Dharma:The devastation of cow protectionism in India https://www.animalliberationcurrents.com/dairy-death-dharma/

In this episode, we talk about mental health, suicidality and abortion. If you are triggered, please seek the support of caring people. In Australia, you could call Lifeline on 13 11 14.   While Katie was at university, she became pregnant. Having children is something that Katie takes very seriously. It is not something to undertake lightly.   Katie carefully considered all her options, thought them through, discussed them with appropriate people, and came to the conclusion that an abortion was the best choice for both her and for the potential life of the foetus. She was simply not the right person, at that time, to raise a child.   Katie, a community lawyer and co-host of the Progressive Podcast Australia (https://progressivepodcastaustralia.com), is deeply committed to the values of justice and compassion.   In this episode, we talk about how a person who is supportive of early abortion and a person who is opposed to early abortion may, in fact, hold very similar values.   In issues that are potentially very polarising, we talk about the importance of seeking a balance of emotions and reasoning, of listening to people who do not share the same beliefs as us, and of acknowledging the truth, or validating, of experiences of people from all perspectives.    

A panel discussion from the 2016 Institute for Critical Animal Studies Oceania Conference, held in Canberra.Panelists: Three Australian activist scholars - Jess Ison, Nick Pendergrast and Lara Drew.The panelists reflect on their experiences of anarchism and animal liberation; a critical dialogue into the causes of speciesism whilst taking a broader view of social justice and the nature of oppression.Animal advocates have long argued that veganism is a necessary step within the goal of animal liberation; however, on its own it is not enough. A vegan ethic has the most promise if it is also anti-capitalist, against all forms of domination, and was one that embraced practices of total liberation underpinned by radical activism.Jessica Ison is the Representative for Institute for Critical Animal Studies in Oceania. She is a PhD candidate at La Trobe University and a tutor in Gender Studies and Animal Studies. Jess is a rescuer for the Coalition Against Duck Shooting and her writing can be found in Overland.Lara Drew is a final year PhD candidate at the University of Canberra. Her principal research lies in the field of learning and pedagogy, radical education, community development, activism, and critical animal studies. Lara’s other research and writing activities include feminism and the body, and anarchist and anticapitalist positions. Lara is a project director for the Oceania Institute for Critical Animal Studies chapter and participates in various grassroots campaigns.Nick Pendergrast has had many years of experience as a vegan advocate. He has also been active in other social movements and co-hosts the intersectional, political podcast Progressive Podcast Australia . He has a PhD in Sociology and his thesis applied sociological theories on social movements and organisations to the animal advocacy movement. He also teaches Sociology at the University of Melbourne and Criminology at Deakin University.

Critical Transit resumes with Nick Pendergrast, sociologist, one-time urban planner and co-host of Progressive Podcast Australia. Nick is a lecturer in Sociology and Anthropology at Curtin University in Perth, Western Australia.We talk about transportation and urban design, housing, demographics, social and environmental justice, related structural issues, and the importance of connecting public transit and urban planning with other progressive issues. Also, how we might go about solving the housing and transportation crises in our cities, and dealing with anti-development NIMBY types and people fearful of gentrification. A few links from today's show: Becca Bor (clip on the history and structural issues around car-free transport); animal-only bridges in Germany; Beeliar Wetlands and Roe Highway Development (facebook); and why electric vehicles won’t solve the suburbs' transport woes (covered on Critical Transit episode 38, and we'll revisit this issue soon in the context of self-driving cars).
