Extinction Rebellion Oz x UK - the people behind the protest

Extinction Rebellion is a group, a collection of groups, making waves, taking headlines, and getting a reaction, all over the world. But what is XR? Where's it from, how does it work? Who are these 'rebels'? In this episode, we find out. You'll hear the voices of XR rebels in the UK and Australia, taking action in a variety of ways, and taking part in actions that have attracted worldwide attention.

We would like to thank friends of the show Simon Moore, who recorded the UK component, and Dan Preston, who produced it! Please, check out Dan's excellent Marvel review show, A Marvellous Lunchbreak for a great bit of fun.

We'd like to thank Violet, John, Oliver, Reid, Jo, and all of our London and Leeds guests for being on the show.

Mark Spencer

Hello!
I'm Mark, and I'm a podcast addict. I've turned my tens of thousands of misbegotten hours binging history, comedy, and everything in-between into being a keen collaborator on audio projects (climate, local stories, place-based audio especially).

I work with passionate people to turn their ideas into published projects, when I'm not working in the renewable energy space in Naarm/Melbourne.
