Healthy Soils, Healthy Communities (Donnybrook Community Radio)

From 106.9 Vox FM in Wollongong, Dee Milenkovic shares a tale that is attached to a national scandal, the story of the Ruby Princess when it hit the docks in Port Kembla. 

Supervising production from Sharon Davis. Training from the Community Media Training Organisation. Distributed by the Community Radio Network.

Produced for the 2021 CBAA National Features and Documentary Series.

When I heard about the “death ship” berthing in my town, I saw fear turn to hatred as people scrambled to keep our community safe from the infested Ruby Princess cruise ship.

Then one day, a lone voice of compassion cut through the sea of anger and panic and showed us that we weren’t helpless against a viral enemy.

My documentary tells the story of how this man’s compassionate action turned the tide in one of Australia’s most sensational public health disasters.

Turning The Tide (Vox FM)

From 4ZZZ in Brisbane, Nic Huntington takes us on a journey filled with mystery and conspiracy, as we head to Dijaki Kundu.

Supervising production from Anthony Frangi. Training from the Community Media Training Organisation. Distributed by the Community Radio Network.

Produced for the 2021 CBAA National Features and Documentary Series.

It's always daunting walking into any space where you don't know anybody.

Despite being a journalist for a quarter of my life, I still struggle with this, no matter how many emails I've sent.

For hours I awkwardly felt out the energy at Djaki Kundu with a roaring fire, camp chairs, and a bowl of delicious soup in front of me as the stars set.

On hour 6 of an overnight trip, I started to think this whole story might have been a mistake, stumbling through awkward introductions to the constantly expanding roster of characters. 

But when I awoke in the morning to a welcoming "I like this fella, he has a trustworthy energy about him" I knew the story was going to turn out. 

This story was a story of many visits similar to this, feeling my way through awkward reintroductions before finally understanding when the time was right to record.

I never could get Wit-Boooka to feel comfortable around a Shure SM58, but I can live with that.

Special Thanks

The Gympie Pyramid (4ZZZ)

From 4EB in Brisbane, Anisa Hobaya shows us how the subject of height discrimination often falls short of including the stories of incredibly tall people.

Supervising production from Celeste Macintosh. Training from the Community Media Training Organisation. Distributed by the Community Radio Network.

Produced for the 2021 CBAA National Features and Documentary Series.

We might think it’s an innocent joke but when you really think about it, what are people of extraordinary height going through in their day-to-day life? 

After hearing a story from a tall friend about some extreme prejudice she experienced growing up, Anisa Hobaya decided to explore the height stereotypes and challenges tall women face.  

Listen to Standing Tall for a jaw-dropping story and insight into the lives of tall women.

Special Thanks
Marianne De Pierres and Laura Clemesha for being very generous to share their personal stories. 
Celeste Macintosh, Giordana, Heli, and the team from the CBAA and CMTO for their continued support and motivation during the entire production.
