This week, we’re celebrating a pretty huge milestone, our 500th episode! 

All The Best was created by founding executive producers Jesse Cox, Eliza Sarlos and Bridgette Dagg in 2010. A time when there were no podcast apps and before storytelling podcasts were the phenomenon they are today.

This week, our host Danni chats to former EPs Jess O’Callaghan, Giordana Caputo, Heidi Pett and Allison Chan on the magic of storytelling, collaboration, community and more.

#500th Episode Special

This week, we focus on Khaled’s story, which offers insight into hope amid conflict. From Yemen to Tasmania, Khaled recalls his journey through university study and creative pursuits in a very different environment from the one he once called home. 

Khaled from Yemen by 177 Nations 

That story was from the 177 Nations Podcast. 177 Nations is produced by Mark Thompson from Lutruwita, so-called Tasmania. 

Edits for this episode were by Ruijie Tang and Mel Bakewell. 

You can hear more episodes of 177 Nations wherever you get your podcast, or by checking out Mark’s site here. 

If you want to know more about what’s happening at All the Best, check out our Substack! It’s a round-up of all our activities ... with a little bit of BTS.

177 Nations - Yemen 

 

This week, lots of jumping, diving, falling and some bold decisions.

 

On your bike! by Jeffrey Khoo 

In this story, your ultimate bike tutorial (absolutely not!)

Trying something new in one’s adulthood may feel like a fish out of the water. Jeffrey felt the same way, too.

From curving out chaotic zigzags in the grass, tipping over, giving up and back-pedalling through self-doubt, the bicycle has become the love of his life.

Now the fish knows how to bike — just in time for Amsterdam’s bike lanes and Berlin’s questionable late-night decisions.

 

Produced by Jeffrey Khoo

 Supervising Producers  Evana Ho and Mel Bakewell.

 

Just jump by Alannah Vidic-Worth

In this story, Matt overcomes his acrophobia as he jumps off a waterfall in Samoa during a study trip.

All it takes is a leap and perhaps… a scream off a Samoan waterfall.

Produced by Alanna Vidic-Worth.

Special thanks to Janak Rogers and Dan Semo.

 

In the Deep End by Catarina Fraga Matos 

After being dragged out by a rip at a dangerous Australian beach, Craig avoids the water for 15 years.

Then, a move to Timor-Leste pushes him back into the water.

Sometimes the scariest water leads you straight to the most beautiful reefs.

Produced by Catarina Fraga Matos

Supervising producer Mel Bakewell 

And a special thanks to Craig Garrett for sharing his story.  

 

Nathan’s Comedy Failings by Nathan Roach

Nathan went in search of a comedy duo and found a community instead.

On ya Bike 

This week, we go analogue by exploring how to document memory through physical media. And to pull back to back from the interconnected digital world and just ... sit with art.   

You get to hear why some of our friends at fbi.radio are stepping back from digital. Also fbi.radiois awesome. Please give a little love by being a supporter. 

Special thanks to Tommy, Benny, Jasmine, Lindsey and Catarina for being a part of this episode.

 

The Analog-ish Revolution by Kwame Slusher

Kwame even made a 7 minute  story about paring back the digital and going analog ... ish. 

 Produced by Kwame Slusher 

 

 

Tintypes by Maya Fawaz 

In an age where everyone has a high-quality camera in their pocket and a cloud claiming their photos, people are going even more analogue than a digicam. And then some people - like Cole Caswell - are going even further than that.  

Produced  by Maya Fawaz

Supervising Producer was Persephone Waxman. 

 

Year 2537 by Sepehr Jamshidi Fardi and Eugenia Zoubtchenko 

This one is from the archives!

On his shelf in Sydney, Sepehr has a camera from the future. Sepehr's father’s camera allows him to reflect on a pivotal moment from the past of the country he was born in … Iran. 

That story was produced by Sepehr Jamshidi Fardi and Eugenia

And the deadline for our first Audio Club challenge is on 23 March.  And we plan to have a little listening party.  🎉 🥳 🎈
