Saving the Franklin

ABC
Biodiversity

In Saving The Franklin, revisit the biggest environmental movement Australia has ever seen: the 1982 Franklin River Blockade. This story is nuts. Missing people, death threats, savage political moves, young people flooding into Tasmania to put their bodies in front of bulldozers. Host Jo Lauder investigates how this movement beat the odds and came to inspire a new generation of environmental activists that have shaped Australian politics through to today.

Literally obsessed

I cannot recommend this podcast enough! The storytelling is absolutely magical (I'm such a fan of Jo Lauder) and it feels like you're part of the Franklin blockade or just paddling down the Franklin while you're listening. Listen right now! Tell all your friends!! I am obsesssssedddd
