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.

You can read her article here.---This week Australia’s radio sector celebrates 100 years on the airwaves. The first licensed station to broadcast over the airwaves was Sydney radio station 2SB, now ABC Radio Sydney. Community broadcasting in Australia emerged in the 1960s. Today, there are more than 450 community-owned radio stations – making community broadcasting Australia’s largest independent media sector. But the sector is not so healthy everywhere.Malaysia had to wait until the early 2000s for its first community radio station. Radiq Radio brought the voices of refugees, squatters, factory workers and other marginalised groups to listeners in Malaysia, via a shortwave transmitter located in Indonesia. Journalist and broadcaster Sonia Randhawa was the founder of RadiqRadio. They join us to share more about this grassroots project and the international community radio landscape.Interested in hearing more about 100 years of radio in Australia?Tuning in or Fading Out: Radio’s Past, Present and FuturePanel discussion hosted by Jonathon Green from ABC and featuring Pilar Aguerra, Chairperson at 3CRThursday November 23, 20236.15pm - 7.45pmEureka Centre Auditorium, BallaratFree event but you need to register.https://eurekacentreballarat.com.au/tuning-or-fading-out-radios-past-present-and-future

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 needsovereignty 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.
