Halt the Harm Podcast
Welcome to Halt the Harm Podcast...
This movement is created by leaders who are inspired to take action.
While we are all connecting by our shared goals to fight fracking’s harms, each and every leader brings a different perspective to this fight. And each perspective has a unique story behind it – a story to tell and to inspire.
We've teamed up with producer and network member Ryan Clover from WRFI Community Radio to interview other leaders in the Halt the Harm Network about every day life and what inspires them to action, day in and day out.
Subscribe to hear the back story and motivations of different Leaders in the Network. We're excited to dd this podcast to our services so we can all connect, build and be inspired together.

Podcasts make it possible to really listen and understand where someone is coming from. I believe this podcast will make our network stronger in understanding and friendship. So, first of all, thanks for your interest!
