Freedom Talk

Theme tune: Oh! Freedom - David Axlerod

1. Introduction
Welcome to Freedom Talk. Therell be some great music on this show but this isnt
a music show. FT is a platform for alternative news stories. Its a show that asks
you to Think again about the news you are regularly being fed through
mainstream channels. Are there other stories out there that deserve some air
time? Hopefully FT will help you to connect the dots and put a very different
perspective on the way the world works.
Are you someone who seeks the truth as the authority or do you take the
authority as the truth?
FT is the alternative choice for your voice.
The show believes in a free press. Were going to consider a myriad of facts,
conjecture, perspectives, viewpoints, opinions, analyses and information. On this
show, we say No to censorship.
Disclaimer
And remember, the views expressed on this show do not necessarily reflect my
views and neither do they necessarily reflect the views of Soho Radio.
