On todays National Talk Black via NIRS – National Indigenous Radio Service we have:

Alinta McGrady, Eat Slay Zombie Co-director, talking about Eat Slay Zombie returns in 2026, biting into big issues with humour. Originally developed and produced by Playlab Theatre in 2024, Eat Slay Zombie by Alinta McGrady turns the apocalypse on its head in a chaotic, genre-defying mix of horror, comedy, music and spectacle where survival advice comes from TikTok and the real threat might be the people you’re trapped inside with… From 14-30 May, La Boite Theatre will host its second edition, which Alinta says is a fresh take on the original production highlighting the strength and creativity of First Nations voices in Australian theatre and the arts.

A new report ‘Building financial capability and resilience for low‑income people in the Northern Territory’ delivered through a partnership between Hoops 4 Health and the Brotherhood of St. Laurence shows that approaches shaped by First Nations leadership, local knowledge and strong relationships are helping participants build confidence, develop practical money skills and take steps toward long‑term financial resilience.
