Queering The Air

In this episode, we spoke with Saara, Alana and Sea about the exciting new queer film Camp Therapy; a reverse take on the cultish absurdity of conversion therapy advocates. In amongst that we spoke about how queer life lends itself to queer film making and vice versa.

On this episode of Queering the Air, we spoke with Thea Riley about their musical methods, the use of song titles to drive a songs theme, regulating a song's tempo and syncopation to affect the listener and the difficulty in maintaining focus on this with so much distraction from ‘the biz’. PLEASE DONATE for Radiothon!

On this episode, we went live to the Trans Feminists United rally at the Victorian State Library forecourt to join, in solidarity, with their timely refusal to accept the rising number of murders of women and girls of every intersection across the globe. This rally was broadcasted live, and this podcast is a recording of that broadcast. It has been lightly edited to remove some moments in-between finding audience members to speak with and in-between rally speakers. Enjoy!

In this episode, we hear from Dzenana Vucic and enterthevessel. They discuss their motivations and experience in participating in this month’s Headless Poetry Night, an event that is held in Naarm every first Monday of the month. Along the way, a range of social topics of a queer nature come up; all truly befitting this anti-normative event.

Join Madison in the studio to chat with Bernie Dieter from Club Kabarett.
