Free FM is proud to be home to Echoes Of Dissent, which every episode traverses the centuries and musical genres to dive into one song that cries out ‘This is wrong!’
We ask, what is it saying? Who wrote it? Why? What does it say for us today? At times we will be challenged, disturbed, unsettled.

Echoes of Dissent Ep 9 - Stand Up Fight Back Podcast Episode · Echoes of Dissent · June 11 · 24m

Direct from Allamuchy, New Jersey to the Free FM MUSIC ZONE: it's The Paleface Parabola

New episode: 🎧 LISTEN NOW: https://accessmedia.nz/player?EID=92988fbd-1b55-4560-b7dd-c813d06c6023&audioOnlyMode=true

Speaking for myself, my week would been far less if we lost the opportunity to lay on you the likes of The Rock n Roll Trio featuring Johnny Burnette (the greatest Rockabilly band of all time I submit to you boldly and without fear of contradiction). Adding to the thrills, Ken Nordine, Slim Gaillard’s Quartet, the Mighty Diamonds, The Grip Weeds, and Be Bop Deluxe. The Mystery Man put the cherry on top to finalise the fracas with music from Estonia as supplied by Trad Attack and their p***y, spiky joy. Dare I say it? Why not?
This week’s tour de farce is more fun than the law should allow!

Paleface Parabola back episodes available via Free FM’s website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube Music.

Equal Agenda Series 4 Ep 6 – Delving into the Manosphere

🎧 Listen: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/equal-agenda-series-4-ep-6-delving-into-the-manosphere/id1818439186?i=1000771944635

Romain and Immy dive into the unsettling world of incel culture and the wider “manosphere,” exploring how online spaces can turn loneliness and insecurity into misogyny and control. They look at figures like Andrew Tate to unpack how men are encouraged to dominate and police women’s bodies, framing their behaviour as strength or masculinity. The episode also examines how incel culture, toxic masculinity, and violent extremism often target women, while questioning the difference between misogyny and misandry and challenging myths about patriarchy versus
matriarchy.

The Sandwich Club Ep 8 - We Wore That. In Public. Voluntarily.

There was a time when we chose outfits based entirely on how uncomfortable they were — and thought we looked incredible.
In this episode, we revisit the fashion, gadgets, and beauty choices we fully committed to... some we wish we still had, and some we would quietly like to forget.
A little bit of reminiscing, a lot of youthful confidence, and absolutely no underwire.

The Sandwich Club is for women in the middle — juggling kids, parents, work, money, bodies and everything in between.
