After two weeks of episodes at the Grote Reber Museum, we’re headed next door to the Mount Pleasant Radio Observatory for our final episode in the space mini-series! 

Brett Reid, manager of the University of Tasmania's radio telescopes, and Dr Patrick Yates-Jones, research associate at the School of Natural Sciences at the University of Tasmania, tell us all about their work at the Observatory, as well as take us into the exciting world of the Control Room.

Show theme music: Kevin MacLeod

It’s easy to speak of those we remember. But what about those we’ve forgotten? A hank of human hair transports us back to Brighton in 1882 when a musical ingenue by the name of Percy Grainger was born. His fame grew at an exceptional speed… But then disappeared just as quickly. This week on Uncurated, Nell Geraets and Mengjie Cai replace a missing note in Australia’s music scene, exploring the passions and perversions behind an enigma of a man.

Art is made to be looked at, to be objectified. But people are not. So what could this mean for those painted onto canvasses that are then flaunted around museums across the world? This week on Uncurated, Yimin Qiang and Angus Thomson venture into Melbourne University’s Arts West to look at 100 women’s faces, all of which were painted by men. Who are these women? And where are all the female artists?

One of the first things that tourists visiting Australia hear is that there's a lot that could kill you. Sharks, snakes, crocodiles, jellyfish — whether you’re on land or in water, nowhere seems safe. So imagine what it was like back when British settlers were colonising this strange new land. This week on Uncurated, Thomas Phillips and Xiao Zhu begin with an intricate little medical box that packs a hell of a punch. With limited knowledge and primitive equipment, sometimes the methods used to heal were even more dangerous than the creatures around them.

We all know Ned Kelly. In fact, we’re pretty tired of hearing about him. Australian history is filled to the brim with these sorts of stories — white-washed and not even that old. So where are the parts of Australian history that haven’t been told? Where are the stories told by those and about those that aren’t white, British men? In this episode of Uncurated, Rebecca Pridham and Maya Pilbrow look at six small photographs depicting the aftermath of the Glenrowan siege, only to discover Ned’s indigenous counterpart and a side of Australian history that stretches back far beyond any settler.

It all began with a letter. A colourfully illustrated poem about a Gothic house built for a couple who donated a huge museum collection to the University of Melbourne. This missive is hidden among the 700 plus items collected by Russell and Mab Grimwade. It tells a more personal story than the other objects they gathered, which construct a colonial version of Australian history. In this episode of Uncurated, Pema Monaghan, Josie Hess and Claudia Su unravel what that poem tells us about a man whose collection both defined and reflected the way Australian history has been told.

Four hundred and three specimens of a single vibrant plant are included among the flora at Melbourne University’s Herbarium. It's most commonly known today as the Emu Bush or eremophila — a native Australian medicinal plant with the ability to cure numerous diseases, but not everyone knows it by this name.   The issues raised by this single plant represent the stark cultural divide between Australia’s indigenous communities and the British settlers, illuminating patterns of marginalisation that persist to this day. In this episode of Uncurated, Mustafa Nuristani, Xinyue Huang and Xiaowei Chang examine the many names of a plant that speaks volumes about Australia’s past and present.

A little book – modestly bound, fragrant and full of... cloth.   It started as an 18th century Western curio and found its way to the Rare Books Collection at the University of Melbourne. Collected on Captain Cook's journey to the South Pacific, it's become an object of obsession among Western collectors and museum curators alike. The swatches of cloth tell their own tales, of the first trades - sometimes coerced - between cultures, of an ancient Pacific artform practised only by women, and of so much more.   In this episode of Uncurated, Clancy Balen and Qiushi Wang explore a side of Captain Cook's story that we weren't taught in primary school.

This was a fun one! Got to chat with my buddy Will (@cornfedduck) about all the stuff going on in OKC. Will has some interesting thoughts on the city, but has grown to love his new home. We talk about some good breweries in town, the best steak, and much more! Thanks for coming on Will and I hope y'all enjoy!
