This show went to air on 9/02/2013. In this show we talk with Rodney Dillon. Rodney Dillon has spent the last 6 years working for Amnesty International, working with aboriginal communities across Australia. He is the deputy chair of Weetapona, and has worked in aboriginal politics all his life.

All the Best returns to your airwaves for 2013 with a series of stories about people confronting out-of-the-ordinary life events. Two All the Best producers turn to fiction to tell personal truths about cancer, family and love. And we welcome back Zahra Stardust, a guest on the show last year, who was supposed to appear in an photography exhibition about empowered women in sport, until the art gallery banned the photograph.

Just in time for Christmas, All the Best brings you the story of a very unlikely pair of people— a nun and an ex-criminal— undertaking a very special project for those who face a festival season without love, family or presents. And we find out how the stories of your life could be preserved forever by the National Library of Australia through a new oral history project.

Hope’ and ‘Politics’ aren’t two words you often hear spoken together in Australia. But All the Best shares two stories about people inside and outside of Canberra who are hopeful— passionately hopeful— that they can make change happen. A unlikely trio of Liberal, Labor and Greens politicians work together on transgender issues; and an Irishman reflects on his country’s historical struggle for independence from the British at a rally for West Papua.

Doorstop (n): 1. An interview by a journalist in which the interviewee is approached unknowingly at their place of residence or work. 2. An uninvited interview by paparazzi or tabloid reporter (Source: All the Best dictionary). Armed with microphones, our producers chase down their unsuspecting targets to ask them the big questions in life, on the spot.

All the Best brings you stories of people whose flames burn brightly, against the odds. A sonic submerging into the world of a woman who stutters, a 103 year old lady who’d probably put you to shame on the athletics field, and a former self-harmer tells how she lifted herself from the depths of depression.

The false starts, stumbles and humble beginnings of successful people before they ‘made it’. All the Best tells the early stories of foodies, fashionistas and… Germaine Greer. Long before The Female Eunuch sparked a feminist revolution, Germaine Greer was a frightened schoolgirl, surviving World War 2 in a dysfunctional family.

Good things come to those who wait… good things such as this week’s show! Sit with us and wait. We’ll wait for the tide to come in. For answers. For things to turn around. We’ll wait on highways and open plains, looking to hitch a ride home for Christmas. And, once the waiting is done, we’ll hear from a woman who waited a very long time to tell her boss exactly what she thought of him.

All the Best has stories to make your skin crawl. Haunted house? Tick. Haunted e-mail address? Tick. Haunted dreams? Tick. And the creepiest part of all: Halloween costumes, for pets (where else but America). This week’s show is sure to leave you spooked.

All the Best brings you stories of transformation and revelation, about people who remake and uncover their true selves. A refugee from Afghanistan arrives in Australia and changes his name— twice; the story of a little girl who knew she’d been born in the wrong body; and an All the Best contributor tries to talk about sexuality with his conservative mother, without letting her know he’s gay.
