We hear an interview with Messiah Rhodes filmmaker and host of the documentary series Against All Odds(link is external). Messiah was interviewed by Amy Goodman on US current affairs program Democracy Now(link is external) on 14 August. His new documentary series, available online at ajcontrast.com/againstallodds, explores the challenges faced by people released from prison, especially women, through telling his mother's story. Rhodes describes his work as a response to calls to defund police and calls for investment in housing, education, family reunification and mental health support.
Soundscapes of the lockdown, produced by Thursday Breakfast’s Scheherazade. A few weeks back we heard sounds from Morocco, and we’ll try to recreate it here. Now, what is a soundscape? Well it's like a landscape but sonic, creating a sense of place through audio. The sounds that we’ll gather each week will represent stage 4 lockdown on unceded lands. This week we’ll hear a few soundscapes that our team made. To contribute sounds please contact us via Instagram @3crthursdaybreakfast

3CR is very sad to announce that long-term broadcaster Ralph Knight passed away today Friday 31 July. Ralph presented music programs Nostalgia Unlimited, Swing and Sway and Steam Radio, as well as the Unitarian Half Hour a program of the Melbourne Unitarian Peace Memorial Church.

We are sure that he will also be missed by his many listeners and supporters. We offer our deepest sympathy to Ralph's family and friends. Please stay tuned to 3CR's nostalgia music programs for tributes to Ralph over the coming weeks. Read a tribute to Ralph from his technical friends and colleagues here.
