Cancer rates in young people | Pre-recorded testimony for victim-survivors | Politics in Sports | The psychology of extremism | Memefication of the right wing
Description
To unpack the impacts of cancer rates skyrocketing in young people, Producer Jaspar McCahon-Boersma talks with hosts Dani Zhang and Tanita Razaghi, with audio from Rare Cancer Australia CEO Christine Cockburn.
A major campaign is slowly gaining momentum across New South Wales, calling on the state’s criminal justice system to provide extra support for victim-survivors of sexual violence. To dive deeper into the topic, Jacinta Masters, the Campaign Manager at Fair Agenda, joins the show.
For decades, sport’s been treated as a no-go zone for politics, a place to escape the world, not confront it. But that’s changing. Dr Kasey Symons, lecturer in Sports Media at Deakin University and co-founder of women in sport collective, Siren, breaks down the changes in sports and politics.
As neo-nazis become increasingly visible on streets all around Australia, producer Emilios Kwasner-Catsivelakis takes a look at the psychology of radical political views.
And Crystal Andrews, founder of publication Zee Feed and author of the essay ‘Let’s Not Give Conservative Politicians The Power of Becoming a Meme’ joins us to talk the memefication of right wing figures.
This episode of Backchat was hosted by Dani Zhang and Tanita Razaghi, and produced by Holly Payne, Gabriella Accaria, Jaspar McCahon Borsema, Jordan Santander, Olivia Nunes-Malek and Emil Kwasner-Catsivelakis.
Executive Produced by Holly Payne.
Aired 6 September on Gadigal Land.
