Some archived shows and interviews

Picture: IN-Depth host/producer Thomas Janak July 2011

The human rights show "In-depth" directly preceeded Thomas's animal rights show Wild Time, which is now in its third year with over 160 shows aired and/or published.

IN-DEPTH premiered in May 2006 as 'Feature Of The Week' on LiberateFM before moving to NearFM/Near90FM. 81 shows have been produced and aired. Thomas was also involved in many other shows and specials.

Just like WILD TIME, IN-DEPTH was a very informative and engaging show with topics that do not age and that are still valid today.

Just recently Thomas visited his old blogs and checked out some archived shows. We have listed them below for you to enjoy and share.
