The Thirtieth Anniversary

Thu, 31 Jul 2025 02:41:25 GMT

The story for this episode is ‘The Thirtieth Anniversary’ - a tale of a woman who discovers her husband’s infidelity in the week before they are to celebrate their three decades of wedded bliss. A bliss that is proven to be a sham.

The story also draws much inspiration from jazz music – an interest that initially binds the couple together but then ultimately breaks them apart.

Sculptures by the Sea

Mon, 23 Jun 2025 01:29:12 GMT

Today’s story - ‘Sculptures by the Sea’ is inspired by a yearly art exhibition in Sydney’s eastern beaches where, for nearly three weeks in late October, an incredible cliffside walking track becomes the backdrop to a major sculpture exhibition, showcasing works from all over the world. This story, however, is less about the sculptures themselves and more about love in a long marriage and the grief that comes when illness causes that lengthy partnership to change shape.
