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!

On today's show, we've got plenty of great new music to play for you, plus some updates from the Goori Camp Embassy at Barrambin (Victoria Park) ahead of construction of a stadium for the 2032 Brisbane Olympics. You can support Goori Camp Embassy here. The removal of First Nations Peoples and supporters from the Goori Camp site is especially aggregious as it has taken place during so-called "Reconciliation Week". We reflect on the project of Reconciliation as one that prioritises settler comfort over meaningful action in service of recognition, reparations, restitution, and responsibility towards Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, as identified by Dr Innez Haua from the Centre for Global Indigenous Futures.
