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!

This morning on Radio Reversal we're joined by dear friend and comrade Kevin Yow Yeh for a NAIDOC-week special! We talk about the history and origin of NAIDOC week, and the long lineage of Indigenous resistance and resurgence on this continent. We also reflect a little on what it means to mark NAIDOC week this year in the shadow of the recent death in police custody of Kumanjayi White, as well as talking through some of the initial findings of the coronial inquest into the death of Kumanjayi Walker after he was shot by Constable Zachary Rolfe in Yuendumu in 2019. If we have time, we might even get a chance to play another incredible speech from the most recent Black Deaths In Custody rally here in Magan-djin from our dear friend, Mununjahli and South Sea Islander Professor Chelsea Watego. As always - a jam packed show, with lots of excellent local First Nations music, as well as plenty of chances for you to tell us what you think!
