The RegenNarration
The RegenNarration podcast features the stories that are changing the story, enabling the regeneration of life on this planet. Hosted by Prime-Ministerial award-winner, Anthony James, it’s ad-free, freely available and entirely listener-supported. You'll hear from high profile and grass-roots leaders from around Australia and the world, on how they're changing the stories we live by, and the systems we create in their mold. Along with often very personal tales of how they themselves are changing, in the places they call home.
