The Rainbow Table – other but together

Good-bye Adnan (Adrian) Alberts

We were saddened to learn this morning (6/10/2016) of the passing of former Bush Radio volunteer and staff member Adnan (Adrian) Alberts.

Adrian was a volunteer on several programmes on the station, including the ground-breaking “In the Pink” and “The Morning Cruise”.

His beautiful, velvet and sweet voice was only eclipse by his beautiful and caring manner.

Sexy, sincere and playful – The Salon

Bush Radio’s new programme; The Salon is a sexy, sincere and playful hangout session between three friends that discuss the Queer Capetonian experience. Moving through LGBTI (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex) content, introducing new queer voices that laugh, play and get serious about difficult topics to broaden the perspectives that restrict the human rights of LGBTI community with compassion and acceptance.

We are hoping the audience includes everyone within the LGBTI community as well as those that stand outside of it with curiosity or disapproval.

The programme is designed to break down stereotypes and negative ideas about the LGBTI community, and aims to shatter negative misconceptions by including those that have them into its audience. There is no us vs. them, rather a movement towards an us, that is all inclusive regardless of sexual orientation.

The Salon is hosted by Myles Heneke, Sarah Summers and Sizo Mahlangu.

Tune into The Salon, Wednesdays from 8pm on 89.5FM or via www.bushradio.co.za
