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!

Morning Zedverse! This morning Han's chatting with Prof Sandy O'Sullivan from the Centre for Global Indigenous Futures about the supreme court ruling in the UK as the latest attack on trans rights in the wave affecting trans folks in the US, UK, and here in the settler-colonial nation state of australia. Prof Sandy is a Wiradjuri trans/non-binary person and helps us unpack the colonial and white supremacist logics at play in anti-trans movements and the enforcement of the gender binary.
