We're taking you to 2019, where we met at a radio storytelling intensive run by Transom and the Community Media Training Organisation.
We made two baby radio stories in a couple of intense days holed up at the Glenelg Surf Life Saving Club.
TW: the second story features domestic and family violence.
Story 1
A sonic profile on Barry, an artisan knife-maker in the Barossa Valley
and
Story 2
A story about Helen, a domestic violence advocate.

We're visiting the final session at the Mainline Drive In, in South Australia... can you hear the nostalgia?
And then hitting the road to hear from the volunteers at the last remaining drive in, in Coober Pedy, over 800km north of Adelaide.
Special thanks to Karina Aveyard, Coober Pedy Drive In, and Sue Britt from the Coober Pedy Historical Society for a historical chronology.
This week, Tiarne finds a hidden world within the ABC building and gets a tour of Ori's wardrobe...
And Mel chat to Adelaide artist Julia Robinson about her latest body of work, The Beckoning Blade.
Poetry reading 'Lullaby for the Chosen' written and recorded by Adelaide author Sean Williams in response to Julia Robinson's work.

Dan and Indi head to Stony Point, a shallow rocky reef on the outskirts of Whyalla. There, thousands of cuttlefish return annually to breed, and then die. We get in the winter water in thick wetsuits to perve on the phenomena.
Tiarne heads to her local supermarket but gets distracted by the community notice board. She ends up with a typewriter with a little story of it's own.
