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!

Join Anna for another jam-packed episode of Radio Reversal as we tug on some of the fraying threads that are holding together colonial regimes across the globe, and the work people are doing to yank them loose.
We're kicking off this morning with a refresher on the permanent crisis conditions of colonialism: the way that colonial and postcolonial states across the world tend constantly towards crisis, and are endlessly having to find new ways to justify their own existence. We're focusing on these processes across a few different contexts, and shining some light on the ways that organisers here in so-called Brisbane are challenging these violent colonial justifications by any means necessary.
First up, we’re heading further south to Bundjalung country to get an update on the campaign to save sacred ancestor trees near Wallum from destruction. Then, we’re crossing over to catch up on the struggle taking shape in Kanaky at the moment, and how First Nations organisers here are working to support the Kanak people in their struggle for justice. After that, I’m catching up with dear friend of Radio Reversal, Remah Naji, to talk a bit about this Sunday’s Justice for Palestine rally, and why it’s so vital that we challenge the dehumanising strategies of colonisation in whatever form they take. And then, lucky last, we’re crossing to the inimitable Huda the Goddess to get a bit of an update on the struggle taking shape in Sudan at the moment, and the work she’s doing to raise awareness, funds, and consciousness about the relationship between the crisis in Sudan and the growing global struggle against colonialism, imperialism, and heteropatriarchal racial capitalism, in all its violent forms.
As always - a HUGE SHOW! Let us know what you think!
