Instant Recall

This week we explore taking unnecessary risks, being in the wrong place at the wrong time and how you and your friends can remember the same events very differently. Like very, very differently.    The Medina by Patrick Lazzar Our first story takes us to Egypt.  When the hustle and bustle of the Medina, a chaotic market in the heart of the city centre, becomes all too overwhelming, a stranger offers to show Seamus and his friend Alex  a "secret leather market." Producer: Patrick Lazzar  Supervising Producer: Nicholas Doring  Featuring: Seamus McDyre Tutor: Camilla Hannan     Routine Traffic Stop by Eleanor Crosby-Hardman In a small Victorian town, Craig, on his way to work, finds himself in the middle of a real-life police drama and ends up on the other side of the car crash of a lifetime. Producer: Eleanor Crosby-Hardman Peer Supervising Producer:  Ellie Starkiss Featuring: Craig Hardman Tutor: Dylan Bird   As We Remember It by Alannah Kein Have you ever had that experience where you realise that your memory of an event doesn't match anyone else's version of the story? April 10th, 2026. A night in Adelaide city for Gather Round. As they retraced one night, their stories of the event began to conflict in surprising ways. Through a seemingly simple story of friends, football and beverages, this audio piece explores a bigger question. Are our memories a record of the truth, or simply the stories we come to believe as such?
