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!

Disaster Communism with Nick Southall
Good morning Zedheads! We hope, where you are, the lights are back on, the debris has cleared, the water has receded, the damp has dried, the mould has been vinegared, the silt and mud shovelled and mopped away.
Today on the show we're continuing our series on Disaster, Crisis, and Collective Futures; this morning we're bringing you an interview with author of recent book Disaster Communism and Anarchy in the Streets Nick Southall. We're so grateful to Nick for spending some time with us to help us think through the political possibilities that emerge during disasters, and how we can bend conditions of crisis towards collective liberation and better futures.
Tune in 9-10am on 4ZZZ to catch this great chat between Anna, Jonno, Nat, and Nick, along with some fab new, local, (and some kinda old, and not so local) music!
I won't be able to squeeze all of this great chat into the broadcast show, so make sure you are subscribed to the Radio Reversal Collective podcast (on all podcasting apps!) and substack (linked below) to hear the full interview when it's released later this week. You can also catch up on last week's episode, when Anna, Jonno, and Nat, and guest Moira Williams, talked about Cyclone Alfred and the community organising that sprung up around it, along with the ways that politicians capitalise on moments of crisis to serve their own, very shit, agendas (or you can listen back online via the 4ZZZ website, to catch the ep with all the music included!).
