It’s my annual 9th Radiothon show on Tuesday from 9am til noon and I can’t wait to be joined by six brilliant people who I admire and appreciate. They’ve been part of the show or station and its history in some way and they’ll be asking you, just like I will, to subscribe and support Triple R - 3RRR 102.7FM for another year. Why? Because live independent community radio that is produced by a diverse bunch of passionate volunteer broadcasters is a rare and beautiful thing that must be treasured, watered, and tended to in order for it to not only survive, but thrive. Triple R is that beautiful 🌻 sunflower in my life. It’s the oxygen I breathe, it’s the mycelium connecting the ideas in my brain, and I have no doubt it means a lot to so many of you too, for a range of reasons. I want to know why, so please let us know and leave a message when you subscribe and/or donate during the show between 9am and noon. We will read out your name and message if you choose to share your thoughts and dosh with us 💵.

Joining me will be talented Triple R broadcasters Mel Fulton of Literati Glitterati and Clem Bastow of Superfluity. Former and regular guests who I’ve had the pleasure and joy of speaking with more than once will also return to the show; author Linda Jaivin, editor and writer Nick Feik, poet, musician, and writer Gregory Day, and local musician Yeo – whose music I’ve played on the show since it began in January 2017!

Thank you for supporting my show by listening & thinking critically, always. The best part about presenting my show is knowing that every one of my listeners is an astute, switched on person who, when presented with something new, interesting, deep, or thought-provoking, from one of my guests, will ponder it, stretch their minds and souls, and think for themselves. It might catalyse something new for them, just like it did for me too. That’s all I can hope for when I spend time digging deeper into these issues & subjects with long-form interviews. Thank you again for supporting a slower-paced, mindful, kind of radio that 3RRR fosters 👩‍🌾

I am privileged to have 3 hours that can be utilised in the way that I am able to on this stellar medium of radio, at the greatest station on the planet, with the loveliest and most talented people I know and have ever met, and more importantly, the ones I probably haven’t met – the people listening.

A special panel chat first up about the humanities in crisis at Australia’s universities and the Australian Historical Association’s open letter, campaign and petition to reverse the Morrison-era Job-Ready Graduates scheme, which doubled the cost of Arts degrees to $50,000. Professor of Public Humanities and Director of the ANU’s Humanities Research Centre Dr Kylie Message-Jones and Professor of History at the ACU Dr Kate Fullagar delve into the issues.

Then, hear about the Heide Museum of Modern Art’s new winter exhibition, Man Ray and Max Dupain, now open, with Co-curator and Heide’s Artistic Director, Lesley Harding joining us.

This landmark exhibition places the contemporaneous photographs of American-born, Paris-based Man Ray (1890-1975) and Australian Max Dupain (1911-1992) side-by-side for the first time, offering insights into their unique yet aligned visual languages and their contributions to international modernist photography.

Man Ray and Max Dupain examines these artists’ works across the figure, still life and portraits, fashion and advertising, and offers insight into these artists’ unique yet aligned visual languages and their mutual impact on international modernist photography and surrealism.
