“The most powerful monologue I have heard on RCR.” - Julian Tobias wrote and released this spoken word poem last year. Earlier this month, it was broadcast on his RCR show, Truth Speaker, striking a chord with many of our listeners. None more so than Julian from Christchurch. He sent in this feedback: “Dear Tobias I listened to your letter to the music industry (re)broadcast on RCR on Tuesday. I stopped and listened to this in awe of the words and power of how you said them. In my view the most powerful monologue/ mic drop moment I have heard on RCR. I wanted everyone around me to hear it because you were speaking for so many of us. It brought back so many memories about a group of people who should have stood with us, but chose a different path. But there were a few who knew the immorality of what was happening and that was enough. They will always be able to hold their heads high as can you. Thank you Tobias for being one of the few. It’s an honour to stand alongside you. Julian” Thank you @tobiastahi
