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.
