A Slow Death

Our first story comes from our Westwords and All the Best collaboration. Westwords in the centre for creative writing based in Parramatta, where a small group of writers were paired with producers and sound designers to bring their stories to life. Lee Mckerrecher was one of these writers.

A story that shows what happens when we ignore those who have protected the environment for thousands of years.

Written and Performed by Lee McKerrecher 

Sound Design by Ramon Briant. 

 

 

Keep Moving  

We've all faced some form of impostor syndrome. Or maybe struggled to finish something because we felt it could just be a little better than it is. Catarina figures out how to just keep moving. 

Produced by Catarina Fraga Matos 

 

 

Teresa 

Sometimes there might be something that slows you down and makes it hard to keep moving. Teresa had a lung transplant, and Beth follows her journey to recovery.  

This story was created as part of an audio storytelling course for regional community radio producers. It was delivered in collaboration with the CMTO, with thanks to the generous support of Creative Australia. 

Produced by Beth Baillie 

Supervising Producer was Maddy Macquine.
