This week, we’re taking you back to Ancient Greece with a story you probably didn’t read about in your school textbook.

The Bacchae by Jake Neville 

You’d think that a story about a sexy, naked, lesbian forest cult and their gender-bending queer leader who destroy the patriarchy by dressing the nation’s head honcho in drag would be a very modern kind of story, right? You’d be wrong. Jake and Liam revisit the bloody story of Dionysus and the Bacchae and discover just how little has changed since 405 BC. 

Find out more about the upcoming short film via instagram – @thebacchaeshortfilm

Producer: Jake Neville
Supervising producer: Evana Ho
Featuring: Liam Fitzgibbon

With special thanks to Ruby Ellam, Brodie Healy and Chelsea Pataki.

Music by Petros Tabouris Ensemble – public domain arrangements

#466 Rebel Gods

This week we journey back in time to look at Sydney’s music scene through the eyes of three different women. 

You can hit it as loud as youcan

First up, we hear from musician and music mentor turned academic, Hannah Fairlamb, about rock boot camps and gender equity.

Produced by Mel Bakewell, with music by Ferus Cut Blue Dot Sessions.
You can learn more about Rock Camp here.

What About Her?

Frances Swan co-wrote What About Me (A Moving Pictures Song), the 1982 classic Australian anthem, during a decade often described as a boy’s club. Christa Hughes rejected gender expectations in the late 90s and early 2000s, touring with Machine Gun Fellatio. Today, up-and-coming Milly McPherson has been making waves in a rock and roll circuit, inspired by the women who came before her.

Join your host, Zara Upfold, as she explores the expectations and successes of these incredible women, the sadly predictable reactions of a male dominated music industry, and asks What About Her?

Frances Swan played her original music live in front of an audience for the first time on the 25th of November. Milly McPherson is currently raising funds to re-released Milly's song under her own name, alongside a new album and a short film. Finally, Machine Gun Felatio have recently reunited and Christa Hughes has been performing in the band for the first time in 20 years.

Produced by Zara Upfold, with support from Phoebe Adler-Ryan and Evana Ho.

What About Her?

This week, we’re playing stories from our 24 hour radio challenge, in which producers are tasked with creating audio stories from scratch in a day!

This year we had people participating in Sydney here at fbi but also down in Naarm and even overseas as far as Italy and the UK.

1 - Cristina Marras takes us into a recurring dream. 

2 - Keyari Page constructs a radio drama about the road to perfection.

3 - You know when you keep texting someone but they just..don’t reply? Linda Gao, B Fung Ling and Kaspar Visser weave a tale through voice notes about a secret and a lie wrapped up in sushi. 

4 -  Finally, Jac Hope delves into an underground community that subverts expectations. 

Congratulations to all of the makers who took part. We’ll be playing more stories from our 24 hour radio race in upcoming episodes. 

Can’t wait? Come hang out with us early for an online listening party on 11 December at 8am Eastern Standard time. You can register via the humanitix link here.

And you can always support the show by hitting subscribe or follow if you're listening to the podcast, or tuning in to your weekly broadcast on fbi radio at 9.30 am on Sunday or the Community Radio Network.
