Acknowledgement of Country// HeadlinesPort Phillip Council votes to dismantle homeless encampmentsExperts call for the establishment of an independent Police OmbudsmanVictorian council workers take mass industrial actionPublic hearings held in inquiry into offshore processing and resettlement Following our conversation with Disability advocate Andrew Bretherton about the Albanese Government's planned cuts to the NDIS in the May budget, we shared “landfill”, a poem by artist TextaQueen. “landfill” responds to the systematic devaluation of disabled people's insight and embodiment in legislative decision making processes. In this piece, TextaQueen pushes through dehumanising narratives cultivated by the Albanese Government's unjust economic strategy to remind us that people living with a disability will remain - grieving, relating, desiring, creating, suffering and resisting. Support the National Day of Action to “Protect Our NDIS” this Saturday 9 May starting 1PM outside the State Library of Victoria, Narrm.

SOIL was a radio mentorship designed for young people through the model of liberatory radio and community-centred wellbeing. It spanned 6 workshops, shared meals, new friendships and audio ventures. In this conversation, guest Producer Virginia Barahona was joined by community builder and Yung Prodigy Founding Director Maia Ihemeje. This poignant conversation unravelled the contradictions of the so-called justice system and made clear the work of Yung Prodigy as an organisation centring young people whose experience of the prison industry often goes unseen.// Chris Christoforou, CEO of VAADA, joined us to unpack Report 25 of the National Wastewater Drug Monitoring Program, which is based on new data collected from December 2024 to October 2025. In August 2025, the program covered 57% of the population – about 14.5 million Australians. The report provides a comprehensive picture of Australia's illicit drug markets and drug consumption habits for 12 substances, with this iteration adding data for the program's ninth year, allowing for longitudinal analysis.

For this special episode of Race Matters, we are joined by Boe Spearim from Frontier War Stories, Gamilaraay and Kooma activisit and Dad who has been archiving so called Australiaʼs first wars since 2020. Frontier War Stories is a podcast that details across the continent, the wars waged by the colonising British, the massacres and horific dehumanisation that was used as a strategy of genocide by the settling empire and the profoundly dedicated resistance held by Aboriginal warriors. Joined by King, a Ghanian/Wiradjuri creative and newest member of the RM team, these episode dives deeper into the lore of Pemuwluy and Dundali. Pemulwuy, being the first resistance fighter against the colony, organising and leading mob to retaliate against the genocidal regime. Dundali, being the last publicly hung warrior, a symbol of the colonisers to others considering resistance. Over a weekend that memorialises one version of history that seemingly erases the Truth about what happened on this land, this episode reminds us of the ways colonising nation states utilise propaganda and dehumanise resistance. With a special thanks to Clothing the Gap for sponsoring this episode. We are so grateful to be joined by Boe as we attempt to subvert the revisionist history of so called Australia.

Send us Fan MailThe hardest truths in public life are usually the ones we've trained ourselves not to see. We start by talking with Cornel West about Race Matters and the reality that racial injustice is not only about explosive moments on the news, but also about the “quiet riot” of daily suffering in South Central, Harlem, and any place where poverty and despair are treated as normal. We unpack why hope is not optimism, why small victories of love and care count, and how a renewed public sphere and real political courage matter if America is serious about racial justice.From there we widen the lens to foreign policy and ask a question that never stops generating heat: why does the United States support Israel so consistently? We trace the long arc from Christian Zionism and settler colonial history to Cold War strategy, military aid, and intelligence alignment. Along the way, we examine how media framing shapes what the public is allowed to call an invasion, an occupation, or a peace offer, and how “minimal honesty” might change what leaders can get away with.The episode closes on a moral note, pairing a humanist warning about greed and despair with scripture on suffering and endurance, not as an escape from politics but as a reminder that language, conscience, and solidarity still matter. If you care about race in America, Cornel West, public policy, U.S. Israel relations, and human rights, this conversation is built to challenge your assumptions without asking you to turn off your compassion.

A bittersweet send off to Executive Producer Shareeka Helaluddin who has metamorphed Race Matters into the ever abundant, ever expansive program that it is.

After nearly 27 years on the bench, Mecklenburg County's longest-serving judge — Lou Trosch — is stepping down. He served beginning in 1999 in the 26th Judicial District and later joined the Superior Court in 2018. In that time, he co-chaired the Race Matters for Juvenile Justice Initiative. We look back on that and other milestones as well as changes to the judicial system.

In this episode of the Discovery podcast, we speak with Professor David B. Owens, assistant professor of law and director of the Civil Rights and Justice Clinic at the University of Washington School of Law. A nationally recognized civil rights litigator and scholar, Owens discusses his recent essay in the New York University Review of Law and Social Change, “The Equal Protection–Fourth Amendment Shell Game: An Essay on the Limited Reach of the 2023 Affirmative Action Cases, the Fourth Amendment, and Race Beyond Skin Color.” He explores the Supreme Court's 2023 affirmative action rulings, the limits of colorblind constitutionalism, and how race continues to shape policing and justice in America — drawing on both his lived experience and his work advocating for systemic reform.  Through this deeply personal and incisive interview, listeners are invited to confront the tension between constitutional ideals and real-world inequities — and to consider how law, experience and empathy must intersect if equal protection is ever to be what it promises.  This Discovery episode invites listeners to reflect on how constitutional interpretation, judicial philosophy and personal narrative intersect — and on what meaningful equal protection might require in practice. 

I had the privilege of sitting down with Dr. Cornel West, one of America's most distinguished public intellectuals and philosophers, to discuss his historic Gifford Lectures, which marked a watershed moment in the series - bringing a jazz-soaked philosophical methodology to this centuries-old tradition of natural theology. West has spent decades at the intersection of rigorous academic scholarship & prophetic public witness. In our conversation, we explore how his lectures challenged the conventional philosophical approach of reducing catastrophe to manageable problems, instead starting with the lived reality of suffering and historical consciousness. Drawing from his deep engagement with thinkers from Plato to Kierkegaard, from his Baptist roots to his years in academia, West demonstrates how the African American musical tradition offers profound philosophical resources for understanding truth, beauty, & moral courage. We discuss his three cruciform convictions - kenosis, kinesis, and kairos - & how they inform Christian intellectual engagement with everything from ecological crisis to the ongoing violence in Gaza. This is public scholarship at its finest: academically rigorous, spiritually grounded, & courageously engaged with the catastrophic realities of our time. You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube Dr. Cornel West is the Dietrich Bonhoeffer Chair at Union Theological Seminary. He has written 20 books and has edited 13.  He is best known for his classics, Race Matters and Democracy Matters, and for his memoir, Brother West: Living and Loving Out Loud. His most recent book, Black Prophetic Fire, offers an unflinching look at nineteenth and twentieth-century African American leaders and their visionary legacies.
