Fuelling the Fire: Songs of Compassion, Resistance, and Liberation

Each year we dedicate an entire show to sharing music that inspires us to keep speaking out about nonhuman suffering.

This special extended episode is for all the activists who keep making connections and fighting to end commodification, captivity, torture, and needless slaughter. In this show, we keep the focus on the plight of nonhuman animals, the earth in crisis, and power of speaking out and taking action.
