Radio Reversal is a show that subjects aspects of everyday life to historico-political, theoretical, cheeky, irreverent, high brow, low brow, eye brow, warm-hearted analysis. Our aim is to see the world more clearly, think about what we'd like it to become, and how we can make that happen. We think that discussing these sorts of ideas is one way to lessen the alienation that affects many of us trying to make sense of a world that so often makes no sense of us. We also play loads of awesome music (sometimes thematic!) with great enthusiasm for requests and an emphasis on supporting local artists. It's fun!

In this week's episode of Radio Reversal, join Anna as she catches up with Dr. Raylene Nixon to hear about the ongoing campaign for Justice4Stevie-Lee. Raylene is a proud Gungarri woman, mother and academic whose beloved son Steve was killed in police custody in Toowoomba in 2021. The inquest into Steve's death was recently concluded and Raylene talks to us about the disappointing findings of the inquest and the family's ongoing campaign to get the QPS footage of Stevie-Lee's death released to the public.
