In many cultures around the world, water is sacred. In this episode we see bodies of water as conduits for memory, history and, of course, stories.
Pitjantjatjara and Gurintji man talkin’ stories by the river Think of the anatomy of a river. Our first story is the upper course. Caleb and Orlando reflect on history, their own lives and the families while sitting by a river on Gurintji land. Produced by Caleb Doolan and Orlando Rubuntja Supervising Producer: Helene Thomas Interview conducted by Brenton Woods
When I Lived Our next episode meanders into the middle course.

This week we are featuring our first story from our Jesse Cox Audio Fellowship 2026! More than 15 Years ago, Jesse Cox co-developed an incredible audio narrative program on fbi.radio called All The Best.
