Finding inner peace is difficult... especially when you're sitting next to Harvey Keitel. This story was produced by Pejk Malinovski as a Falling Tree production, and originally aired on BBC Radio 3. Featured on the Truth Podcast.


Narrated and Produced by Pejk Malinovski

Selected by guest curator Cristana Marras

This amazing piece by Pejk Malinovski. “Everything, nothing, Harvey Keitel” is a crazy ride inside the head of the author. I love the apparent spontaneity of it all, the understated way of tell the story so that you feel you might as well be in the same room in which Harvey Keitel appears, completely unexpected and out of place. Amusing, compelling, beautifully written. It’s the kind of storytelling that makes me feel like dropping everything I’m doing to go producing something beautiful. :-)

I Will Not Grow Old Here: A Girl from Alex

Mary-Ann Nobele (SA 2022)

Mary-Ann Nobele / Radio Workshop (SA 2022)

27 min Episode 1 of 3

This story starts with a number: 70%. That's how many young people in South Africa are unemployed. Youth hustle and hope to find success, but how do you make it in a place like Alexandra township in Johannesburg? And how do you get out? In this three-part series, 23-year-old Mary-Ann Nobele brings listeners into her life in Alex and shows us why she's made this promise to herself: I will not grow old here.

Hosted by Lesedi Mogoatlhe, the Radio Workshop is a podcast of the Children’s Radio Foundation. We collaborate with youth reporters and radio stations across Africa to tell stories from places that are often overlooked, in ways that reflect how young people see the continent.

Narrated and Produced by Mary-Ann Nobele

From the Center Out - Archiving Black Dance In The U.S

Laura Marina Boria + Ana Cecilia Calle (US 2021)

Laura Marina Boria + Ana Cecilia Calle (US 2021)

15 min

Gesel, a choreographer living in Austin, Texas, walks us through solos that a hip-hop dancer and an expressionist dancer taught her over 10 years ago. "From the Center Out - archiving Black dance in the U.S." is about how a dancer's body remembers and what those memories sound like. During rehearsal, we're transported to scenes from the solos and we experience the stories and emotions driving them.

As Gesel dances, she talks and through her voice we experience her movement in a visceral sometimes uncomfortable way. If you’ve ever wondered how dance could be represented just through sound, this piece does exactly that.
