Real Agenda Radio offers a range of podcasts with the potential to really explore issues, challenge traditional thinking and the status quo. Its progressive & reform focused content offers a real opportunity to develop an alternative mass-audience platform to the mainstream news agenda. Real Agenda Radio plans to expand into a multi-media news and information channel offering audio, video, online, events and maybe even print options
The Real Agenda
The Real Agenda, the original podcast for political change, started by Tom Burgess in October 2018, aims to inform, inspire and involve those who want a democratic, inclusive and fairer society that respects human rights and protects the planet. The focus is on fixing the fundamental problems of our time, primarily the extreme economic inequality and the unnecessary financial hardship suffered by millions everyday by developing a political agenda that moves us from here to prosperity. That’s The Real Agenda.
Network News
The Real Agenda Network News is a fortnightly news bulletin presented by Tom Burgess, founder of The Real Agenda and Jennifer Nadel, ex ITN Home Affairs editor. Each edition will highlight the news on the good work being carried out by determined campaigning groups in The Real Agenda Network, those organisations working hard to bring social and economic change, where prosperity which we all helped to create, is shared by all, not just the few. The bulletin will also a feature a media monitor segment where we take a relevant news item and look behind the story, what it did not say and how the problem could be fixed. Produced by Real Agenda Radio.
The Real Agenda America
Currently 47% of audience of the Real Agenda Radio audience is in the United States, so this series will focus on specific American content, talking to politicians, activists, campaigners, academics and the media and about the key problems and how they could be fixed, if there is the political will. This show is hosted by Tom Burgess who worked on the Bernie 2016 campaign, was on the national organising team for a movement to set up a new People’s Party plus is the author of the 2016 book: From Here To Prosperity, directly addressing how toxic economic inequality in America could be resolved. The series was piloted in 2019 but now that there has been a leadership change, there is an opportunity that some of the Berning injustices could be fixed. Produced by Real Agenda Radio

From Here To Prosperity
From Here to Prosperity is a new podcast series on Real Agenda Radio. With this series, we seek to give voice to widespread frustration felt by so many of us at the failure of partisan politics and traditional economics to end toxic inequality worldwide. But instead of dwelling on these grievances, you will hear about a seductively simple path forward with a fresh, simple and highly practical strategy to provide immediate and substantial relief to millions of people struggling to make ends meet.
The series is hosted by Tom Burgess, the author of From Here To Prosperity which describes an Agenda for Progressive Prosperity based on an inequality busting strategy of Income for Me/Wealth for We. The book is available direct from the publishers at www.shepheardwalwyn.com or from good online and local bookstores.
