Training from the Community Media Training Organisation. Distributed by the Community Radio Network. Produced for the 2021 CBAA National Features and Documentary Series. So, in 2021 I decided to live alone in Sydney. What I didn't realise at the time was what that really meant. During 100 days of lockdown in 2021, I spent most of my time in my studio apartment.  What started out as novel, began to drag as Winter turned into Spring, but Sydney stayed quiet. When the solitude felt more like isolation I was kept afloat by conversations with friends over the phone.

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 Rhianna Patrick Diane Djaki Widjung Wit-Boooka Credits “Little Things” feat.

Danni Stewart of FBi Radio reflects on the state of Aged Care in Australia with her late grandmother. Supervising production from Sharon Davis. Training from the Community Media Training Organisation. Distributed by the Community Radio Network. Produced for the 2020 CBAA National Features and Documentary Series. This started out as a story about how dementia care can be improved. But, throughout production I found there was another question which became more prevalent - why is the aged care system so bad? As I reflected on my grandma’s experience in residential aged care the Royal Commission hearings revealed deep seeded issues within the sector.  What I found is that the current substandard conditions in Aged Care can be traced back to neoliberal thinking and the Aged Care Act 1997.  Then COVID-19 began to spread through the corridors of Aged Care homes and the problems created by the Act were laid bare. For the last months of my grandma’s life visiting was heavily restricted.  I was able to say goodbye. Many families weren’t so lucky.  Caring for our aging population, particularly those with dementia is one of the greatest challenges our society faces. It’s estimated there will be one million Australians living with dementia by 2050 and it’s clear that in order to care for them the Aged Care Act needs to be reformed and the current system needs to be rebuilt.  Special Thanks Sharon Davis - My Supervising Producer  Giordana Caputo - CMTO  Heli Newton - CMTO  Andrew McLellan - CBAA My Mum - For letting me interview her about something so personal and emotional.  Claire Cao - For being kind enough to share her experience with me.  Lindsay Riley - For emotional support.
