Rewind on RTRFM – 19 November 2021
*LANGUAGE WARNING*
This week, pack your bags, we’re going on a shit road trip.
Grab the popcorn and get ready to sip some tea with the new movie Zola.
And sit back and enjoy a new performance from WAAPA, Walardu Thula.
Rewind is RTRFM’s talks digest, a round-up of the station’s most notable stories. Each episode features three of the most thought-provoking, timely, or surprising pieces put to air – plus a quick overview of what’s been on our radar. For everything else, check out the features on our website – or tune in live on 92.1.
First up, host Tiarne Lambert introduces a conversation between Breakfast‘s Taylah Strano and Geoff Rissole, co-author of Shit Towns of Australia: the Great Aussie Road Trip.
Then, Madeleine Mitchell chats with Zola’s director and co-writer, Janicza Bravo, about her film, which chronicles a whirlwind 48-hour road trip that turned into a viral and iconic Twitter thread.
Finally, Fiona Bartholomaeus discusses the new WAAPA production Walardu Thula (which blends the unpublished works of award-winning playwright David Milroy) with co-director Rick Brayford and actors Sebastian, Shante and Kira.
