All The Best

About All The Best

All The Best is for new Australian storytelling. Hear from a Melbourne-based cannibal, how the Australian Wallabies used theatre workshops to improve their game, anxiety attacks in a Tantric sex class, and what the shopping centre Santa Claus is really thinking, all on All The Best. We're a weekly radio show and podcast produced at FBi Radio in Sydney in association with SYN and Triple R in Melbourne, and broadcast nationally via the Community Radio Network. We’ve been telling stories in a variety of forms since 2011, picking a theme each week and using short form documentary, personal narrative, interviews, and spoken word to bring you the best from across Australia.

   Notes To My Sister

   There is this Tolstoy quote from Anna Karenina, "All Happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." I've always struggled with this binary. This idea of happiness or unhappiness as somehow being fixed states. No nuance. I think real families, ones outside Russian fiction, exist on a more complex spectrum. Notes To A Sister by Anna Outridge Sisters Anna and Jordyn are house-sitting for their parents for two weeks. This is the longest time they’ve spent together in ten years. As they inhabit the rooms once occupied by younger versions of themselves, they reflect on the memories they shared in this home, the things that brought them together, and the things that tried to pull them apart. Producer: Anna Outridge Co-producer: Jordyn Moore Mentor and Supervising Producer: Jon Tjhia Original score and composition: Kenneth King @kenny_king_music This story was made possible by the Jesse Cox Audio Fellowship.

   View From A Mountain in Motion

   This week's Jesse Cox Audio Fellowship takes us outside. There is some change we can’t do anything about, some change that we can, and some change that feels so big that for some it's hard to see where they fit within it. I think the story is about how different kinds of people interpret and integrate their experience of change in a landscape that they love and know well. And I think that landscapes are more than just physical places. I think they exist in the collective imaginary made up of all the different stories and memories that many, many people hold of a place. - Tessa Campisi View From A Mountain in Motion by Tessa Campisi Perched on the edge of the Victorian Alps, up a long, winding road, lies an old, granite plateau which these days is known as Mt Buffalo. Beyond its physical geography, Mt Buffalo lies someplace out there in the collective imaginary, held together by a patchwork of memory and story. But things are changing in the Alps, and what was once known edges towards the unfamiliar. If we look out across the arc of time, from the deep past through the present, and nudge our gaze towards the future – what do we see? And where do we see ourselves.

More than 15 Years ago, Jesse Cox co-developed an incredible audio narrative program on fbi.radio called All The Best. JCAF is an audio mentorship program, pretty one-of-a-kind, championing the kind of work and spirit our show's co-founder upheld and honouring his legacy. After the Storm, Episode 1 - Arrivals by Ramon Briant Ramon brings us a Black Mirror-esque vision of Sydney. In 2075, a jaded ex-revolutionary is called back to Australia to complete his mission, but must avoid detection and navigate the world he left behind to be reunited with the ones he loves. After The Storm is an original audio fiction written and produced by Ramon Briant. The mentor and supervising producer was Ian Walker. Starring: Indiana Kwong as Alex, Tabitha Lafernis as the Robots Voice and Ad woman, Vinay Seethamraju as the customs officer, Catarina Fraga Matos as the news reader, Aileen Hyuyn as Sonia and Ramon Briant as Forest.
