The Next Big Thing
-
Miniature Musical Carousels (Balgara)"...But I insisted..."
A conversation with conceptual artist Sophie Calle, who has made an art of following other people's dictates. Also, something between documentary and fiction about homes large and small, from Australian radio producer Natalie Kestecher; a street medley from Walkman Buster Gideon D’Arcangelo; and fierce competition among adults playing Dodgeball.
Looking for Santa
Memories, fantasies, and careful consideration of available evidence pertaining to the existence of Santa Claus. Produced by Jonathan Mitchell.
Dodge!

Tailor Made
Size matters. That seems to be the reigning belief in this country, and
the same holds true in Australia. But is it all that matters? Blending
fact with fiction, Natalie Kestecher presents to us a world in which
the answer is unequivocally "yes."
Kestecher produced this piece for Radio Eye, a program aired on the
Australian Broadcasting Company, with sound engineer Philip Ullman.

Walkman Busting
A guy walks up to you on the street and asks you what's playing on your Walkman. You tell him. But wait - now he says he wants to listen, too. Before you know it, he's plugged his recorder into your player and he’s taping your music. That's right, Gideon D'Arcangelo is at it again with his "Walkman Busting." Produced with Jill Krauss.
