How do you hold on to the ones that you love? Is it through shared experiences or through objects?

This week, we hear about a grandad’s love for Christmas, we sit in the garden with Pappou, listen to a mum deciding where to put her grandma’s inherited item, a granddaughter remembering moments with her grandmother, and the small things that remind a granddaughter of her grandma. 

Between the stories, some of the  All the Best team share their own grandparent memories. (You have to listen! No Spoilers!)

 

Papou’s Garden  by Olivia Thoma

Olivia walks and talks with her Papou through his garden, and she sees how it helped him to make a new home.

Producer: Olivia Thoma

Featuring: Yiangos Thoma, with contributions from Andreas and Chloe Thoma

 

I’ll Always Remember by Rae Zhang

Sometimes it's not objects or recipes but ... a song.

When her grandmother's memory starts to fade, Rae realises that that its okay for her grandmother to forget, because she will always remember.

Producer: Rae Zhang 

Featuring: Jing Xiang

 Translation: Haozhen He

These stories were produced as part of a media unit at the University of Sydney - special thanks to Lea Redfern.

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.
