“We only have wood and stone to fight with to preserve our life”
The words of young activists from Kanaky (so-called New Caledonia) who are engaged in fights to reclaim their land from French occupation, fighting for life and independence. Ethan and Shareeka speak to Roscoe, a special rapporteur for Radio RATA, a decolonial media, culture and mutual aid network, operating across the Pacific. Roscoe has been pivotal in establishing networks and connections with the Indigenous people of Kanaky. Through his work we learn that colonial systems are not the only thing that can duplicate and expand borders -- so can Indigenous knowledge and solidarity.

Can writing be a political practice? How do you write in a way that serves liberation, the making of better worlds?
Today Samantha and Bipasha are in conversation with Fabliha Yeaqub, a queer Bangladeshi writer, artist and community organiser based in so-called New York. We are talking about her journey with writing as catharsis and as rebellion, how it relates to her political work, and what it means to forge community connections amidst the individualist culture of the West. This episode is grounded in June Jordan's timeless words: I must become a menace to my enemies.

A collision of sounds and a system built through found materials transforming every space it enters.
Guest hosts (and fbi family) Madi Martin-Bygrave and Virginia Barahona chat to DJ, community-builder and artist Lulu Quintanilla. Her hand built sound systems are a conduit for questioning culture in a particular moment. An emblem of her candour and DIY ethos where transmuting possibility is found in the club, a youtube archive or a community gathering.

Fourteen years too long, permanent visas and protection now.

Passing its 111th day, many have been waiting outside Minister Tony Burke's office seeking stability and an end to the temporary visa system that leaves them in precarious, unjust work and life conditions. Solidarity to all those fighting the violence of borders, and those who had the courage to share their stories with us.

A tale of two Dilwale's: Mateo and Bipasha move through the phenomena of Bollywood cinema and its grasp on broader subcontinental culture. Specifically, a classic Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995) and it's less-regarded not-so-classic Dilwale (2015), both starring the inimitable SRK and Kajol.
They trace their relationships with growing up with Bollywood cinema, recount watching these films five hours back to back; and reflect on the depths and contradictions of these cultural outputs.

"The people’s blood won’t stain our hands" - the words decried from a recent direct action in Athens where the port workers took industrial action to stop the shipment of Israeli arms. This is an example of a way we can boycott, divest and sanction in our everyday lives.
We're joined by staunch, third-generation Palestinian organiser and advocate Rand Khatib to take us through the legacy of resistance in her blood, and the power of collective action through BDS actions that Palestinians have long-called for. Every day, there are non-violent, material ways we can commit to the end of occupation.
We also also hear from those in our local community practicing BDS and what their experiences of learning this, have been.

What is it to hold the heartbreak of facing a world of systemic injustice, and turn it into energy and meanignful action?
We're joined by Inez, a radio broadcaster on 3CR's Thursday Breakfast, community organiser and mental health worker. An intimate chat on navigating hurt and anger of dealing with systemic injustice, processing the recent Indian election and its impact, and how a solidarity with Falasteen has nurtured a retuning to their Sikh faith.
