Frances Swan co-wrote What About Me (A Moving Pictures Song), the 1982 classic Australian anthem, during a decade often described as a boy’s club. Christa Hughes rejected gender expectations in the late 90s and early 2000s, touring with Machine Gun Fellatio. Today, up-and-coming Milly McPherson has been making waves in a rock and roll circuit, inspired by the women who came before her. Join your host, Zara Upfold, as she explores the expectations and successes of these incredible women, the sadly predictable reactions of a male dominated music industry, and asks What About Her?

Milly McPherson is currently raising funds to re-released Milly's song under her own name, alongside a new album and a short film.

    it's not me it's you

    What do you think I look like? Is that a weird question? Probably. But I do have a point, stay with me.  In a perfect world we’re all moving away from judging a book by its cover, I don’t think we can say we’ve achieved this quite yet.   This idea is unpacked in our stories this week which delve into growing into our own skin, against the grain of social expectations.  Dating when different by Carey Scheer In our first story, Daniella Biagi shares the challenges of dating with physical differences. From traumatic encounters, malicious body-shaming to numerous not-so-happy dates, Daniella finds healing, growth, and resilience, as she leads us through a quest for genuine connection—with others and herself—in a world too quick to judge. Remember, you are worthy of love just as you are—the right person won’t need you to have Snow White’s beauty, or Cinderella’s glass slippers to see the princess you’ve always been. This story was produced by Carey Scheer with additional production by Mel Bakewell. You can discover more of Carey's work at Purple Orange podcast. Comfortable by Samuel Luke   In the second story, Samuel reflects on his transition journey of coming out as transgender and the emotional weight of his first year on testosterone. Through recalling vivid memories and emotions, Samuel explores the dissonance between his evolving body, the long-held feelings of discomfort, alongside the slow, surreal process of self-acceptance.    It’s not just about becoming—it’s about relearning how to exist, to heal, and to finally see oneself in a body that feels like home.   Find more of Samuel's work on Instagram @samuellukeart or at samuellukeart.com.   All The Best Credits Executive Producer Phoebe Adler-Ryan Editorial Producer Mel Bakewell Host Madhuraa Prakash Episode Mixed and Compiled by Emma Higgins Image: Liz Ham lizham.com  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  6. Trash & Treasure

    12 NOV

    Trash & Treasure

    This week, stories about the things we sometimes need to do to get a decent bite to eat.    Table Diving by Patrick Mckenzie In our first story, Patrick explores the odd temptation and social taboo of "table-diving"—taking leftover food from strangers' plates. Through his inner thoughts and expert interviews, the episode delves into themes of etiquette, hygiene, and practicality behind the peculiar act of table-diving.  To take or not to take—would you dare snatch that chip? Don’t worry, human pigeon, your secret’s safe with us. Produced by Patrick McKenzie with Supervising Production by Mark Yin.   Big Rat by Miles Mazzocato In the next story, Miles tells a story of confronting a community of rats: a symbol of the sacrifices needed for survival. As one weighs the cost of economic stability against the value of joy, the harsh reality of their choices becomes painfully clear.  When the pasta is cold, wet, and rosemary can’t fix it, maybe it’s time to question if survival alone is worth the taste.   Around the back by Danielle O’Neal, Inger Kviseth, Doreen Lee and Christina Lu  In our third story, Charlie, a performer, shares his weekly adventures of dumpster diving with his partner, Jenny, uncovering treasures like Dutch chocolates and olive oil.  Highlighting systemic inefficiencies and hypocrisy of supermarket chains, the story exposes the paradox of food abundance and waste in a world facing hunger. Dumpster dive, gourmet finds; a treasure hunt worth a try.   Would you like to get involved in audio storytelling?

B Fung-Ling and Derek Dao are the hosts of the Licensed Poetics podcast and extremely passionate about supporting emerging artists.   All The Best Exec Producer Phoebe Adler-Ryan sat down with the duo to talk about the story they created for us and their artistic process delving into audio fiction for the first time.   A Literary Podcast Origin Story   Two literary critics are tasked with writing a book review at Big Media Company. It’s their first real job where their opinion will carry influence, but things go wrong even before they can select a book.

    29 OCT

    Nights at the Circus

    This week, a story about connection through theatricality and a night at the circus. For Persephone, La Clique is both home and family. She shares childhood memories spent in circus cabaret wings, sketching and watching performers she now calls colleagues.  The episode also features Harley Mann, custodian of Na Djinang Circus, a First Nations led contemporary troupe. Blending Indigenous themes with Western circus traditions, Harley explores “identity” and how “failures", both choreographed and accidental, bring authenticity to circuses, blending superhuman feats with human vulnerability. Ending the episode is David Bates, Persephone’s father and founder of La Clique. Walking down the memory lane of La Clique’s past and its iconic Spiegel tent, the father-daughter look toward the future of circus and cabaret, celebrating its ever-evolving nature and its power to bring joy, and provoke thoughts. Under the circus lights, we are all part of the act—each gasp, each clap a heartbeat in the night; a legacy that pulses wonder across generations. This story was produced by Phoebe Adler-Ryan. With special thanks to Harley Mann, David Bates and Persephone D'Arbela Bates for sharing their stories. You can see La Clique at the Sydney Opera House until November 17. Find out more about Na Djinang and their next tour dates at: https://www.nadjinang.com.au/ Music Credits This story featured Kotoba, Usufruct, Primordial by Nuisance from the Free Music Archive. And music from La Clique including Hurry On Down by Madam And The Rent Party, Curtain Call by La Soirée and the La Clique Trailer theme. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
