The Pod Report

This episode is dedicated to Stopping Airport expansion in Britain. The podcast was developed before the creation of Plane Stupid but even at that time, my friends were talking about creating a campaign group but hadn't decided on its name. Since then, Plane Stupid have become one of the most successful campaign groups in Britain. The highlights of this podcast are:

1. Stopping Airport expansion and what it means for climate change
2. We bring the story of a successful campaign against Swansea Airport expansion in Wales and how that worked.

Podcasting direct from Beyond TV and the MISTY awards, special information about Piracy and an exclusive interview with famous band, Seize the Day. What's not to like?

This podcast includes everything from Dumping Coal outside of No. 10 Downing Street (Tony Blair's place), to Rebel Clown Army's unique way of protesting. It also includes information on the Misty Awards and Beyond TV, hosted by Undercurrents alternative video media group. The host of the show actually took part in the dumping of coal as a way of explaining to the UK Government that they need to clean up their act on Climate Change.
