The Mission: Daniel James Returns ft. Charles Pakana and Rhoda Roberts AO

Daniel James returns to hosting The Mission! He chats with Uncle Charles Pakana who covered for him in that time - what was slated to be a seven-week stint became seven months! The two of them reflect on the crucial conversations that have taken place on air this past year, particularly around Treaty and the work of Yoorrook Justice Commission - which Daniel worked on extensively over the last few months - Yoorrook have just recently released their historic final reports.

Also joining Daniel on the program is Widjabul Wia-bul woman Rhoda Roberts AO, who has written and will be performing in the Naarm-Melbourne debut of My Cousin Frank - the story of Widjabul Wia-bal and Githabul man from Cubawee, Frank Roberts, who was the first Indigenous Olympian of this continent.

Great to have you back, DJ!
