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!

Today on the show Nat is joined in the studio by Kelly to chat about some recent election results in Serbia, Brazil, and the U.S.A, to think about what these outcomes, and the massive mobilisations seen in these places, can tell us about community organising in this time of resurgent fascism. We'll be playing a short interview from our friends at 3CR Thursday breakfast - Priya speaking with independent researcher and planner Nic Guerra, co-founder of the Alliance for Praxis Research, on the Brazilian elections, and Kelly is joining us live to help us think through the U.S. midterm results, particularly in the context of anti-ICE and anti-data centre organising efforts.
We know voting will not save us, nor will voting alone bring about the collective liberation and climate just future we want, but we want to talk about the kinds of organising, messaging, and mobilising that create the conditions for change. I promise no big electoral hot takes and I promise that there will be no naval-gazing wondering where Australia's [insert charismatic politician from elsewhere] is.
And of course, as always, lots of new and local music coming your way. Tune in 9-10am on
4ZZZ 102.1FM.
