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!

Myth-busting: Transport Edition

Good morning Zedders! This morning Nat is joined in the studio by Dr Kelly Bertolaccini, transport engineer at Griffith Uni who focuses on equity, public transport, and transport planning for marginalised communities.
Often, in conversations about urban infrastructure, capacity and service problems are blamed on the wrong people - e.g. blaming migrants for congestion, or cyclists for parking issues. Together, we will be digging into some of these sticky, pervasive, even dangerous myths that affect how we move around cities. These myths deflect blame to where it doesn't belong, and limit our ability to identify better, more effective, solutions....solutions that don't depend on racist and violent border policing! We'll dig into myths about the supposed safety of cars, we'll talk about some of the common arguments against 50c fares, why road widening doesn't work, why more car parking doesn't make it easier for you to park your car...we could go on, and probably will.
Tune in 9-10am on 4ZZZ, for nerdy transport and urban planning chats and lots of new and local music.
