Cam and Andy from Yeah Nah Pasaran show speak to Dr Eviane Leidig, the author of Women of the Far Right: Social Media Influencers & Online Radicalization. On mainstream social media platforms, far-right women share Instagram stories about organic foods that help pregnant women propagate the pure white race and post behind-the-scenes selfies at anti-vaccination rallies. These social media personalities model a feminist lifestyle, at once promoting their brands and radicalizing their followers. In discussions of issues like dating, marriage and family life they call on women to become housewives to counteract the corrosive effects of feminism.Eviane Leidig in her book offers an in-depth look into the world of far-right women influencers, exploring the digital lives they cultivate as they seek new recruits for white nationalism. Going beyond stereotypes of the typical male white supremacist, she uncovers how young attractive women are playing roles as organisers, fundraisers and entrepreneurs. You can listen to Yeah Nah Pasaran every Thursday 4:30 to 5:00 pm. --- We hear from Victorian author Jessica Au, winner of the 2023 Prime Minister’s Literary Award for Fiction for her novel Cold Enough for Snow.

But the sector is not so healthy everywhere.Malaysia had to wait until the early 2000s for its first community radio station.

Hello! Quick message from the Wednesday Breakfast Team: whilst we have the current health panedmic going on we will be altering how we make/produce our show . But! We will still be on air, albeit a little more creatively than usual. Whilst we are figuring out what our show is looking like, this week we took the time to listen back to some speeches that I collected earlier in Feburary at the "Activism at the Margins conference" held in Melbourne Wednesday 25th of March Our first speaker is Jim Everett, Puralia Meenamatta  – a plangermairreenner man, Turbuna-Meenamatta, Tasmania. Puralia is a poet playwright, and writer. In this speech, ‘Australia’s Awakening: Imagining a New World A history of the Aboriginal Struggle’, he explores Australia’s claim to Sovereignty over unceded lands and the ludicrousness of citizenship in colonial Australia, as well as his own journey as a storyteller.  Our second speaker is Scheherazade Bloul and Achraf El Idrissi discussing the practise of Aqwir, a traditional organisational method recently used in Morroco’s summer resistance, the #HirakRif Resistance. Scheherazade and Achraf discuss the signifcance of Aqwir as a direct Indigenous response to the shutdown of freedoms occurring across the country, and way to meet and organise both offline and on. Finally, we have an exerpt from South African development worker,social commentator and writer, Malebo Sephodi  who discusses the need for self care as a tool of liberation.

This week we're in conversation with Timothy Erik Strom, digital rights activist and author of the upcoming text Globalization and Surveillance, Jacob Grech, renegade activist and host of 'A Friday Rave' and Lizzy O'Shea, human rights lawyer and author of 'Future Histories' ; contemplating the global political trajectory towards greater states of totalitarianism. "... the democracies of the future will change their nature; the quaint old forms – elections, parliaments, supreme courts and all the rest – will remain but the underlying substance will be a new kind of totalitarianism."  Aldous Huxley, Brave New World Revisited, 1958 Bulding on Aldous's profound foresight, the team discusses the current trajectory and future alternatives. We ask the question, what are we doing to lead ourselves down a path to totalitarianism?"There are no new types of totalitarianism, just new technologies of control." @JacobGrech"We need sovereignty over our own data." @Lizzie_OShea"Are we putting the infrastructure in for a new class warfare?" @JacobGrech"Technologies are transforming the human condition." - Timothy Erik Strom"The techbros are not going to save us." @Lizzie_OSheaThe conversation concludes with the idea that the future is not yet defined. It is emergent. And within that emergence anything is possible.Stay tuned for follow up conversations about self-actualizing our futures.
