This week we explore … silence...through a feature length experimental audio piece.



Audio Club

If you haven’t already seen our socials, All The Best has started an audio club. Each month we're sharing a new prompt and this time it's the ‘sound of silence'.

First up we hear an Audio Club story from Ramon Briant about the beautiful things we can discover when we pay attention to the spaces in-between sounds.

You can learn more and get involved with Audio Club here.



EternalSunshine of the Spotless Drive

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Drive ventures into the abstract where memory becomes a shattered mirror of intangible realities. A deconstruction and reconstruction, the audio weaves together disparate threads of voices and experiences into a tapestry of disjointed narratives.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Drive was created as a fourth year media project at the University of Sydney. 

It was recorded and produced by Jenae Madden in 2023.

This week, stories about breaking the rules of modern society.

And just a heads up - it’s the punk episode - so there might be some swears.



Please Come to My Show

In our first story, we’re gonna hear from five people looking back at their young, punk selves, and how the politics, music, and spirit of this community has continued to shape their lives. 

That story was produced by Mel Bakewell with production assistance by Phoebe Adler-Ryan.

Thank you to all of the contributors to that piece, including Tim Steward.

A shout out to Charlie Fern and Jasper Craig-Adams, hosts at FBi Radio. You can catch Charlie on the Sunday Overhang and Jasper on Real to Reel Wednesdays.



The Ballad of Gary Bamford

Sometimes we encounter people who are like a portal to another world, who show us a completely new way to be. In our next story, Laura shares how a chance encounter with a man at a grocery store changes her life unexpectedly. 

That story was produced by Laura Luck. Find more of her work at lauraluck.com

The Supervising Producer was Dan Semo.
