Let activist and author Iain McIntyre (of 3CR's Suwa Show) take you back in time to the Great Depression. Thousands of Melbournians were thrown out of their homes and Brunswick was the site of some of Melbourne's fiercest anti-eviction battles (now the sites of some of Melbourne's fiercest real estate auctions!).

Everyone is welcome to come to the Calendar Launch on Friday, 13 November at Readings Bookshop in Carlton at 6pm for free wine and talk! Contributing artists Deborah Kelly, Rayna Fahey from Radical Cross Stitch and Tom Civil will be speaking.

Join a 3CR People's Tour at the Melbourne Fringe Festival.

Next stop is a long history of a short river - a historical walking tour along the Maribyrnong River with author and editor Jenny Lee this Sunday 4 October, 3 - 4.30pm.
Find out more at the People's Tour website.
