FBi's All The Best

All the Best heads to the Warbuton Ranges in the heart of Western Australia, to hear a little-known part of Aussie history. In 1933, Christian missionaries arrived in the Ngaanyatjarra lands, and made contact with the Yarnangu people, who were nomadic and lived off the land. But unlike darker parts of our history, the community wasn't a part of the Stolen Generation. Today’s Yarnangu elders sit down and tell us what really happened on the Warbuton Mission.

We hear stories everywhere: in news reports, from our families and friends, even in gossip magazines. Some are true, some are false, some fall in between. All the Best blurs the lines between fact and fiction, featuring two writers talking about the challenge of sticking to either category. And we’ll mix it up with some more great yarns from our best and brightest young storytellers.

Gather ’round for some great yarns. Straight from the creative bustle that is the This is Not Art Festival in Newcastle, All the Best brings you tales from some of Australia’s up-and-coming storytellers. A father’s obsession with snakes goes too far, a migrant kid goes in search of her Spanish heritage and a woman’s desperate pursuit to capture the heart of a courier driver ends… awkwardly.

Coast to Coast Stories ahoy! All the Best brings you intriguing tales from the high seas. A South American geologist's rough-and-tumble journey on a raft to Australia leads to a life-changing encounter with Gough Whitlam. And, the real Puberty Blues: a young girl tries to join the blokey surf culture of the 1970s- but an initiation rite in the water goes terribly wrong.

We're sitting you down and telling you about the birds and the bees: and it's guaranteed to be just as awkward and intriguing as you remember it. From a parent- to-child sex talk that happens 10 years too late- just for your listening pleasure; an escort who falls for his client; to the craze for 'vagina spas' in Jakarta: All the Best does its very best to explain that crazy little thing called (making) love.

All the Best presents New Kids on the Block: No, not the 1990s-era boy band. We’re sharing stories about the unexpected fights and friendships that happen when new people come into a neighbourhood. The arrival of a new priest splits a parish community in Redfern, and a couple moving to Sydney’s fringes get more than what they bargained for.

This Friday night we will go to sleep underneath a blue moon and so this week on your radio All the Best brings you an episode about the night and what happens when you live by the moon. We follow a family through Ramadan, head to Darwin for Territory Day and ask a nurse why they don’t like working on full moons.

The theme today on All the Best is taken from ‘Im Not There’ a film about Bob Dylan. In the film six actors play six incarnations of Bob Dylan and today we have stories about shifting personalities, missing family and friends who seem real one moment and gone the next. From Jasper who has 1 million imaginary friends, to a story about the discovery of a bag of memories and the attempt to get to know your mum.

This week's program is a challenge. On Sunday August 5 we sent 10 contributors out to the streets of Sydney and Melbourne and another on a Countrylink train towards Port Macquarie. The goal: To find a story in 24 hours. Want to hear how they went? You better stay tuned.

On today’s show, we’re talking diaries... Justin Heazlewood aka The Bedroom Philosopher reads from his teen diaries, and author and playwright Anna Barnes on why we should all keep a diary. Also, our host Georgia reveals a shameful incident of diary snooping from her past!

Guests - we’ve all been one, we’ve all had one and we’ve all subsequently gathered a few amusing - and often sordid - tales along the way. From the unwelcome, to the unexpected and from the unusual to the down-right crazy, guests can often prove to make life just a little more interesting. This week on All The Best, we will chronicle some of the more interesting sagas, such as couch-potato house mates, controversial cockatoos and all the goss from behind the walls of a 5 star hotel

Where were you when the Cronulla Riots broke out? The answer to this question is something that most Sydneysiders can recall with ease. This week’s episode explores the Cronulla riots and the topic of Nationalism from the perspective of an ‘accidental passerby’ and and ‘accidental local’. Sometimes, things aren’t always as they seem.
