About Radio Reversal Podcast

The Radio Reversal collective is a long-standing audio collective based in Meanjin, so-called brisbane. We are committed to using the tools of audio production and storytelling to platform and amplify grassroots community organising, critical theorising, & political art, music, and activism. The radio reversal collective is premised on a shared vision of abolitionist, Indigenist, anti-racist, anti-capitalist, anti-ableist, queer feminist political education. Radio Reversal is an ongoing experiment in public pedagogy; in thinking and learning out loud, together, over and over again. Since 2012, we have been producing and presenting a weekly, research- and interview-based live radio show on 4zzz, 102.1fm. Across a variety of formats and timeslots, the live show has continued to anchor the work we do. Live, community radio is at the heart of what we do, and we remain committed to making audio content that is accessible to anyone with a radio and willing ear. For over a decade, we've been building an audio archive of struggles for justice and liberation across this city and beyond; a record of the radical theorising, organising, mistake-making, re-thinking, and community building that happens across this city. Here, we hope to slowly share some of that archive, and the lessons we've learned from building it.

   Episode 43 Three Years of Genocide and Resistance with Remah Naji

   This week on Radio Reversal, Anna is joined by very special guest Remah Naji to reflect on three years of genocide and resistance. Remah is a Palestinian linguist, writer, activist and political organiser based here in Magan-djin, brisbane, and one of the spokespeople for Justice for Palestine Magan-djin. She joins me in the studio this morning to talk through the past three years - the grief, the rage, and the strugle ahead. From the ongoing desperate struggle for freedom in Gaza, to the growing global movements against imperialism everywhere, we reflect on what we have learnt from the past three years of horror, hope, and rebellion. From the limits of liberal tactics of change, to the need for mass movements against all forms of imperialism, we talk about what it will take to create a new vocabulary for justice in the aftermath of this (ongoing) atrocity. As always - but particularly this week - we would love to hear your reflections. What has the ongoing genocide in Gaza revealed to you about the workings of power? What have you learnt from the solidarity movements here in brisbane and across the globe? of solidarity with Palestinians, both here in Magan-djin Brisbane, and across the globe. What lessons will you be taking with you as the struggle continues?

   Episode 41 NOlympics Committee #6 The Olympics Is Fascist

   Hello and welcome to another meeting of the NOlympics Committee, chaired by your intrepid Radio Reversers Anna & Nat. This week on the show: THE OLYMPICS IS FASCIST! A provocation and an invitation to think about the long and continuing relationship between the Olympics and fascism. We kick off by digging into the historical links between the Olympics and fascist regimes in Europe, including the role of the 1936 Olympics in Berlin in the rise and emboldening of the Nazi regime in Berlin. We consider how the the governing bodies responsible for the Olympics have very often served as landing pads for (often self-described) fascists, with key roles held by "strong-man" figures for many decades with little oversight or accountability. We also talk a little about how the Olympics as a contemporary mega-event serves as a testing ground for key technologies of fascist governance: including mass surveillance and "anti-terrorism" laws, border policing and protest repression.
