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!

Nakba Day: 77 years of commemoration
Today, May 15th, is Nakba Day.
Al Nakba (النَّكْبَة; “the catastrophe” in Arabic) refers to the violent expulsion of approximately three quarters of all Palestinians from their homes and homeland by Zionist militias and the new Israeli army during the state of Israel’s establishment. It is generally referred to as beginning in 1948, or between 1947 and 1949, but in reality it was a continuation of something that started even earlier. As the current acute wave of genocide in Gaza that is extending into the West Bank, Syria’s Golan Heights, Southern Lebanon and beyond shows, the Nakba also has never ended. We’ll dig into the history of the Nakba through the course of today’s show, with the help of Palestinian diaspora scholar and friend of the show Dr Jamal Nabulsi.
