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!

Replay: Interview with Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah
Today we are returning to an interview from March 2024 with Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah, on the complicity of Australian and international media with the genocide in Gaza and Occupied Palestine, which now extends into Lebanon and Syria. Dr. Randa Abdel-Fattah is a Future Fellow in the Department of Sociology at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia. Her research areas cover Islamophobia, race, Palestine, the war on terror, youth identites and social movement activism. Dr Abdel-Fattah is also one of Australia’s most prominent Palestine advocates, a former litigation lawyer, and a multi-award-winning author. Her literary corpus of novels, short stories and a picture story book, primarily deal with Islamophobia, Palestine, racism, the war on terror, youth identities and refugees and social justice. She is well known for her commentary as a public intellectual, her media appearances and her essay and op-ed writing across a wide range of genres.
On today's show, we also play an excerpt from Bethlehem's Reverend Munther Isaac Christmas address, "Christ is still under the rubble," condemning the ongoing Gaza genocide. This excerpt comes via Democracy Now.
