This week, we explore stories from the coastline. 

The Beach That Grew by Joanna Beard

Have you ever been to your favourite beach and noticed that a rock face, or a dune, looks different? 

This story explains how erosion isn’t just about loss, but about shifts and transformation, and how this change makes a beach into a resilient landscape that sustains itself. 

Produced by Joanna Beard.

Supervising Producer was Craig Garrett.

Special thanks to Tito Ambyo, one of Joanna’s lecturers at RMIT, who helped shape the story focus for this piece early on. 

 

 Trepang by Bridget Chappell

Bridget Chappell interviews Yolngu cultural leader Timmy Burarrwanga of Yirrkala about his community’s connection to Makassan sailors from Sulawesi, Indonesia, connected through the sea cucumber, or trepung trade, that began in the early 1700s. 

Produced by Bridget Chappell

Supervising Producer Mell Chun.

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.
