On Sunday the 4th of January I was joined live in the @fbiradio studio by Connor Hughes @oisin_delahugh and Clive Meldrum @lizsiddal members of @captchacollective , a new group of artists established in 2025.

During the interview we discussed their respective art styles, how the collective formed, the importance of in-person collaboration, the challenges local artists face and CAPTCHA’s debut exhibition ‘Firkytoodle’ 🖼️

When I attended ‘Firkytoodle’ that Friday, on the 9th, I was completely amazed and intrigued by artworks that captured the essence of an Old English word for intimacy/sex. A majority of the artworks at the exhibition were sold before the end of the night, including Clive and Connor’s (seen in the slideshow above) demonstrating the capacity for collectivisation to transcend the boundaries established by the art world.

Also shout out to @thelimbss and @parasocial.band who I witnessed tear up the stage :)

Give the collective a follow and, maybe, consider joining up :)

You can listen back to our full conversation on the fbi.radio programs page ❤️

🚶‍♀️Beneath Hyde Park lies one of Sydney’s strangest oddities, and our storyteller Lindsey Vassallo (@chernyat) went underground to uncover its secrets.

We're sharing some BTS from our past episode, Travelator, where Lindsey dived into the weird, wild history of this mechanical marvel, complete with court drama, mystery, and dreamlike murals.

🚶‍♀️Underneath Hyde Park, there’s a place most Sydneysiders have never noticed.

An underground travelator, once hailed as a marvel of the future, now sits quiet and half-forgotten –– a 200-metre tunnel lined with dreamlike murals, hidden just beneath the city’s surface.

This week on All The Best, we explore one of Sydney’s strangest oddities: a moving walkway that tells stories of innovation, controversy, and the people who refuse to let it fade into history.

🎧 Listen to "Travelator Oddity" at the link in our bio or tune in to @fbiradio 94.5 FM this Sunday between 9:30 and 10AM.

Hidden right under the grounds of Hyde Park, is 𝗦𝘆𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘆’𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸. A travelator, spanning a near 700ft and accompanied by an equally long mural. It’s a place surreal enough to feel like it can only appear in dreams. 🏙️

But for Lindsey, there’s a real fascinating story she aims to uncover in this 𝗺𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗱𝗱𝗶𝘁𝘆. One complete with world records, controversy, mystery, love and a court drama in between. 🔍

𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸𝘀 goes to the interviewees 𝗩𝗮𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮 𝗕𝗲𝗿𝗿𝘆 (@vanessaberryworld) and 𝗧𝗶𝗺 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿 for sharing their informative insights about the travelator with 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗲𝘆 𝗩𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼, the storyteller, researcher and interviewee of this historically adventurous tale. Additional thanks goes to Persephone Waxman for her professional guidance as Supervising Producer of this story. ❤️

I can’t describe what an honour it was to interview the lovely @milly.mcpherson about her new album Avoca on Postmodern Love, my @fbiradio show this week!

The theme for this weeks episode was Faith in Love, and what was special about our conversation was that this time last year (see the side where I’m wearing the exact same pants) Milly and I spoke about her dream to release her track ‘Milly’s Song’ under her own name, on her own terms... One year later and here we are- she and her band have released a whole godamn album!

If you would like to listen to the @allthebestradio podcast that I made last year featuring Milly McPherson you can do so on Spotify (link in my bio) ❣️

The episode is called What About Her and tells the story of three women who experienced Sydney’s music scene during different decades.

🩷

Frances Swan @francescswan 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 @christahughesladieslounge rejected gender expectations in the late 90s and early 2000s, touring with Machine Gun Fellatio.

And today, up-and-coming Milly McPherson has been making waves in a rock and roll circuit, inspired by the women who came before her.

🩷

What About Her was produced with support from Phoebe Adler-Ryan and Evana Ho (see the last slide for some storyboarding shenanigans). The editorial producer was Mel Bakewell and the All The Best host was Madhuraa Prakash. The episode was mixed and compiled by Emma Higgins - and the cover image (and those cd cover images in the slide show) we designed by the wonderful Lindsey Vassallo @chernyat

You can listen to Milly and I’s interview from this week’s episode of Postmodern Love on the FBi Programs page! <33 (link in bio❣️)

feeling very lucky to be amongst some great female artists, @francescswan and @christahughesladieslounge in @zaraupfold ‘s new podcast ‘What About Her’

the podcast covers my experience of music ownership, female representation, and my journey of reclaiming professional autonomy in a traditionally male-dominated industry.

zara creates an insightful collection of stories, weaving together some beautiful reflections on the evolution of the female voice in Australia’s music industry.

it has premiered on Spotify (in my bio) and will broadcast live on @fbiradio on Sunday December 22nd at 9:30am.
