Rewind on RTRFM – 12 November 2021

Sustainability’s a struggle enough here on earth – but did you know that we’re facing a space junk crisis? On the Record’s Fiona Bartholomaeus got the lowdown on reducing, reusing, and recycling in space from Associate Professor Boris Eisenbart.

She Runs is a West Australian not-for-profit that empowers women in the political sphere, and its two founders have just been named finalists in the Women of the Future Awards. Jessica Short and Martina Ucnikova spoke to On the Record’s G*rey about the practical skills and networks they aim to help would-be politicians develop.

Finally, we get a brief lesson on producing the perfect punk release – and brevity’s the key. Aborted Tortoise drummer Alex Patching gave Taylah Strano the briefing following the launch of their second record, A Album.
