Hello friends, and a huge thankyou for joining us for an unprecedented two-episodes-in-a-week of the Radio Reversal Podcast. In this first episode, we're amplifying a couple of important expressions of autonomous political resistance and solidarity that we've seen here in Magan-djin this week. In particular, we're looking at how diverse communities are working to challenge the forces that work to normalise colonial and racial violence in all its forms - from here in so-called australia, to Gaza, and beyond.As evidence of the ongoing genocide in Gaza continues to mount, communities around the world are gathering together, refusing to stay silent, and refusing to allow this violence to be normalised or legitimised by the state. People are finding ways to escalate their organising; to disrupt and cause a ruckus; to get in the way of the gears of the colonial capitalist state. All of this work is experimental. It's an ongoing project that relies on us sustaining each other to keep trying out different tactics, to keep learning from our experiences, and to keep working to embody our commitments to justice and liberation in all of the work we do. And like all political work that aims to interrupt entrenched regimes of violence, these experiments are often messy and challenging. We face up against the limits of our power; we find the points at which we are compromised and limited by our own investment in existing systems. We experience points of friction and fear; we face criticism and contempt. It is humbling - and powerful - to be part of communities that strive on regardless.So this week, I wanted to share some conversations about some ongoing and important struggles against intersecting sites of colonial and racial violence, and the work that people are doing to challenge the normalisation of this violence in the here and now. I kick off this episode by reflecting on a really interesting autonomous action organised over the weekend by workers, patrons and performers at the Wickham Hotel. In case you missed it, over the weekend, a loose collective of performers, workers and patrons of the Wickham Hotel downed tools and refused to take shifts or perform their sets to protest a decision by Aus Venue Co, the parent company who owns the Wickham Hotel, to book an event hosted by the State Zionist Council of Queensland. 'For some context: the State Zionist Council of Queensland is a political lobby group set up as an umbrella organisation for other Zionist groups in Queensland with the express purpose “to promote and communicate Israel's interests within the broader Queensland community and to promote Queensland's relationship with Israel” as well as “to create an atmosphere within the community that values Zionist thought and expression…and pride in Israel and her achievements.”Now, there's been a lot of pretty ridiculous and hateful media coverage of these protest actions by the mainstream media and conservative politicians, who have worked hard to position this as a hateful or anti-semitic protest rather than a principled refusal to support an event hosted by a Zionist political lobby group. Much has been made of the fact that the social event coincided with the Jewish celebration of the Shavuot, which celebrates the giving of the Ten Commandments to Jewish people on Mount Sinai. Despite not being there in person, Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner felt confident to circulate a front page story from The Courier Mail article with the headline “Backed by Green Hate,” a story which focused a truly unhinged amount of attention on the fact that Jonathan Sriranganathan had attended and supported the protest. Indeed, much of the mainstream media coverage completely fails to mention that this action was organised by workers, performers and patrons of the Wickham Hotel, and that they had tried a number of other measures to ask their parent company, Aus Venue Co, to cancel the booking. It also conveniently erases the context of this protest being organised and formulated by queer and trans members of the Wickham community who were deeply uncomfortable about the venue being used by a political lobby group that actively supports Israel's occupation of Palestinian land, and at least tacitly supports the current atrocities in Gaza. Certainly, the State Zionist Council of Queensland has done nothing over the past 608 days to raise concerns about Israel's current actions in Gaza, or made any attempt to censure the Israeli government or the Israeli Occupation Forces. Considering that their stated goal is to foster “pride in Israel and her achievements,” and to encourage closer connections between Jewish Zionists in Queensland and the state of Israel, I don't think it's a stretch to say that this suggests that the organisation actively supports the ongoing Israeli invasion of Gaza, and the now well-established war crimes being conducted. In this context, it is not hard to see how disingenuous the arguments being made across conservative media and by politicians (including both the Lord Mayor of Brisbane and the state Premier) really are. To claim that these actions were “spreading hate” by making Jewish people feel unsafe at a religious event is to wildly misconstrue both the nature of the protest and the political function of the State Zionist Council of Queensland. Organisers involved in this action were predominantly targeting the decision of Aus Venue Co to host an event by a political lobby group who are supportive of the actions of the Israeli government. The fact that the event in question is a social event is irrelevant. To accept the idea that protesting an event like this is inherently anti-semitic would be, as Jonathan Sriranganathan put it - like suggesting that it constitutes religious discrimination if protesters interrupt a Christmas party hosted by Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party (or indeed, by Labor MP Jim Chalmers, which Justice for Palestine Magan-djin planned to do in 2023). And yet, these are the lines that the mainstream media has consistently been running, along with attempting to use the presence of people like Jonathan Sriranganathan and Remah Naji as evidence that this autonomous action was a Greens event. Leaving aside how frustrating and disrespectful this is to all of the people who were actually involved in organising the action, it's also emblematic of the continuing pressure to censure higher-profile figures including people like Jonno and Remah, as well as academics like Mununjahli and South Sea Islander Professor Chelsea Watego, writer Ren Wyld, and academic Dr. Randa Abdel-Fattah. So we figured that it was worth spending some time this week getting to the bottom of what this action was really about, and how it came about. I start this episode with a chat to drag performer and artist Lulu LeMan, who stopped her performance on Friday evening at the Wickham in order to join talks with workers and management about the planned picket for Saturday night. I then share a live radio interview with two of the organisers who helped workers hold a picket on Saturday evening: Oriela, who is a non-binary Lebanese person and a proud disabled dyke, an advocate, and a long-time patron of the Wickham; and Bizzi, who is a Wakka Wakka and Arrendte Burlesque performer and writer with deep ties to the Wickham performance community. We talk about the work that went on behind the scenes to build some momentum for a protest against this booking, and in opposition to this exploitative use of a beloved queer venue to pinkwash an event hosted by a Zionist political lobby group. If you're not familiar with the term, Dean Spade explains that pinkwashing is: “a term activists have coined for when countries engaged in terrible human rights violations promote themselves as “gay friendly” to divert attention from terrible human rights violations, in this case diverting attention from the brutal colonization of Palestine. Israel is the country most famous for pinkwashing, engaging it as a strategy in their rebranding campaign for the last decade.”This particular angle has been largely erased in media commentary about the picket, which, as Oriela and Bizzy explain, was largely focused on challenging the use of an iconic queer venue for this particular State Zionist Council of Queensland event. Another key thread that has been largely ignored by mainstream commentary is the fact that this picket was organised by a collective of workers, patrons and performers and included the incredible decision of workers from the Wickham Hotel deciding to refuse to work if the booking went ahead. To talk about the importance of this action, I catch up with dear friend of Radio Reversal, Ari Russell from Unionists for Palestine, to put this action in the broader context of workers organising against the ongoing genocide in Gaza. We talk about how hard it has been for many of us to find ways to leverage our power as workers; and the ongoing struggle to build a sense of collective power in a time of record-low union membership and ineffective trade union bureaucracies. In this context, it is especially important to highlight the significance of autonomous worker-led action like this event. It might not be perfect, but it's worth emphasising how powerful it can be for workers, performers and broader community to flex their muscles together in ways like this; standing, as Lulu LeMan put it, against pinkwashing, against the exploitation of workers, and in solidarity with queer Palestinians. We wrap up by talking a bit about an ongoing crowdfunding campaign to support workers and performers who lost wages as a result of refusing to work during this event, which you can find and support here. Another jam-packed episode full of revolutionary potential and tantalising threads. As usual - we'd love to hear your thoughts, concerns and questions.

Send us a textThis episode is pure joy! I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Grace— who found me on YouTube (how cool is that?) and felt a connection that led to this beautiful conversation. Grace didn't choose ministry; it chose her. Born to Italian immigrant parents, her faith journey was shaped by culture, family, and a whole lot of heart.She opened up about overcoming her fear of public speaking through faith (yes, miracles do happen!) and how she started retreats to bring teens into the light of spirituality. Grace's mom, once lost in depression, found community and joy through her local parish—and it deeply impacted Grace's path.We talk about the healing masses that completely changed her understanding of what faith really is, and how even in moments of doubt—especially during tough times in the Church—Grace kept her eyes on Jesus.And then there's Medjugorje. Oh, my goodness… Grace shares her awe-inspiring experience of this holy place that feels like heaven on earth. She reminds us that Mary sees our hearts and hears every single one of our prayers. That God is closest when we feel the farthest. That joy is possible—even in the hardest moments.This conversation is a reminder to look for the little things. They matter. Faith is alive. And young people are hearing the call. God is moving—right here, right now.So, let's bring it to everything and everyone. Because love like this? It's meant to be shared.Tune in for a conversation full of heart, honesty, and a reminder that it's never too late to change your story.

Bizzy Balboa is back and poppin off Season 7 of the Get To Know Me Podcast with a bold new twist. Episode 184 marks a shift in the way Bizzy is showing up behind the mic — blending her signature real talk on music, art, healing, and life lessons with her unfiltered takes on what's going on in the world.In this episode, Bizzy breaks away from the usual interview-heavy format to tap into something deeper and more personal: opinion, perspective, and purpose.She kicks things off with a candid reflection on celebrity culture, using the public breakups of Remy Ma & Papoose and Cardi B & Offset as case studies to remind listeners: celebrities are not gods. Bizzy challenges the idolization of public figures and calls for people to stop putting fame on a pedestal.Also in the mix: a viral clip of rapper BigXthaPlug getting pressed for a photo while gambling sparks a bigger convo — does fame mean forfeiting privacy? Bizzy says no. Just because someone has a spotlight doesn't mean they owe constant access.The main message of today's episode? “Be Careful What You Ask For.”Bizzy gets deep on how blessings don't always come gift-wrapped. Sometimes they show up looking like sacrifice, loss, or hard lessons. She opens up about her own spiritual growth — how she used to think setbacks were punishments, but now sees them as setups for something greater.Whether you're here for the gems, the perspective, or just to vibe with Bizzy's voice — this episode is the start of a new era.

Send us a textIn today's episode, I'm getting real about transitions—the ones we see coming, and the ones that sneak up on us. With the conclave starting today, I couldn't help but think about what it means to be in that sacred in-between space.Whether it's becoming a parent, watching your kids grow up, or suddenly finding yourself an empty nester—change is never easy.

Well, that journey brought a beautiful new friend into my life: Grace.She called me out of the blue, and of course, I called her right back! I truly believe God placed her in my life. She is loving, kind, supportive, and a real blessing.When the Pope passed away, I knew in my heart that I wanted to have a priest on my podcast. I reached out to several priests with no luck. So, I called Grace and asked, "Do you know any priests who might come on my podcast?" She said, "I'll reach out to Father Jeff Pomeisl — but no promises!"Well, Grace made the call... and Father Jeff reached out to me!

Send us a textHey friends! In today's episode of Conversations with Bizzy, I'm sharing straight from the heart. It's Holy Wednesday, and I'm reflecting on my journey through Lent, the lessons I've learned about forgiveness (especially self-forgiveness!), and how my relationship with God continues to grow.I open up about some of my habits—yes, even shopping during Lent—and how they've become little signposts on this path of self-discovery. We dive into why communication and connection matter so much, especially in today's world. And I talk about the joy of being back to coaching—what a gift it is to walk alongside others as they find their own freedom and happiness.If you've ever struggled with letting go, or just need a little encouragement today, this episode is for you. We're all on a journey, and it's never too late to start fresh.

Send us a textIn today's episode of Conversations with Bizzy, I sit down with Mary D'Angelo, a cybersecurity expert with an incredible story. Mary opens up about growing up in a big Italian family and how her roots, life experiences, and faith journey all played a part in leading her to the world of cybersecurity.We dive into everything from staying strong in your faith in today's chaotic world, to how AI is influencing beliefs and mindsets without us even realizing it. Mary shares real-world advice on cybersecurity — including how social engineering attacks target human emotions, why VPNs are important (but not a cure-all), and how even the best parental controls can be outsmarted by tech-savvy kids.She also shares her personal journey back to Catholicism after a difficult breakup, showing how life's challenges can sometimes bring us back to our spiritual center. We talk about the complexities of Catholic teachings, the comfort spirituality can bring during tough times, and how relationships often shift as we deepen our faith.Throughout the conversation, Mary reminds us that personal responsibility — whether in faith, relationships, or protecting ourselves online — is more important now than ever. From understanding the risks of the dark web, to seeing how cultural identity shapes who we become, this episode is full of lessons for navigating today's digital — and spiritual — landscape with strength and awareness.

We'll talk about the role faith has played in my journey, why community support is so important, and how childhood experiences can shape the choices we make as adults. My hope is that today's conversation reminds you that you're not alone — and that living your truth, even in a judgmental world, is not only possible but essential.

Send us a textHey everyone, welcome back to Conversations with Bizzy! In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with MJ Gottlieb, the co-founder of the Lucid app — a fantastic platform that's creating a safe space for sober individuals to date, connect, and thrive.MJ's been sober for almost 13 years, and hearing his story was so inspiring. We talked about the challenges of dating in recovery, the stigma that still surrounds sobriety, and how Lucid is helping break down those barriers by supporting a community where authenticity and meaningful connections can flourish.What really struck me was MJ's passion for building a space that prioritizes both safety and inclusivity. With over 160,000 members in the sober dating section alone, Lucid is making waves. He shared some amazing success stories of people finding love — it was so heartwarming.I also learned about the complexities of building a dating app (way more than I realized!), especially when it comes to creating a user-friendly experience while keeping the community safe and verified. It's clear MJ and his team are deeply committed to protecting and empowering the sober community.Here's What We Covered:MJ's personal journey with nearly 13 years of sobrietyWhy he started Lucid and how it's supporting the sober community.The rising popularity of niche dating appsHow sobriety stigma can hold people back from finding loveThe importance of safety and verification on the Lucid platformHeartwarming stories of real-life matchesI loved this conversation and I think you will too.

Send us a textHey everyone, welcome back to Conversations with Bizzy! Today, I'm reflecting on something near and dear to my heart — Valentine's Day. Having celebrated 56 of them, I've seen this holiday through so many different lenses: from the childhood excitement of exchanging little cards at school, to the pressures and complexities of adult relationships.Valentine's Day can bring up a lot of emotions — joy, love, sometimes even loneliness or frustration. But one thing I've learned over the years is that love shows up in many forms, not just in romantic relationships.I also share a bit of history about how Valentine's Day evolved from ancient rituals to the holiday we know today, complete with chocolates, roses, and sometimes, a little stress! But whether you're partnered, single, or somewhere in between, this day can be a beautiful reminder to celebrate all kinds of love — love for family, friends, and most importantly, yourself.Here's What We Chat About:How Valentine's Day has changed for me over the yearsChildhood memories of inclusive Valentine's traditionsWhy adult Valentine's Day can sometimes feel performative or pressuredThe importance of staying hopeful and open-minded when searching for loveHow patience and resilience can lead to meaningful connectionsWhy love is not just about romance — it's about connection in all formsThis episode is really about embracing love in its many shapes and sizes and reminding ourselves that connection is always possible. So whether you're spending this Valentine's Day with a partner, family, friends, or just treating yourself, I hope this conversation encourages you to appreciate all the love in your life.Thanks for listening, and Happy Valentine's Day, my friends! ❤️Be sure to connect with Conversations with Bizzy! Patreon: http://patreon.com/elizabethchanceFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/conversationswithbizzy/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/busylivingsober YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@elizabethchance TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@busylivingsoberwithec X/Twitter: https://x.com/BusyLivingSober Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/elizabethlchance/busy-living-sober/     LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethchance/ Sign up for email updates: http://eepurl.com/iDtRnw  Remember you can reach out to me at elizabeth@elizabethchance.com with story ideas and if you want to come on my show. Thanks for listening! Love, Bizzy
