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.
JCAF is an audio mentorship program, pretty one-of-a-kind, championing the kind of work and spirit our show’s co-founder upheld and honouring his legacy.

After the Storm, Episode 1 – Arrivals by Ramon Briant
Ramon brings us a Black Mirror-esque vision of Sydney.
In 2075, a jaded ex-revolutionary is called back to Australia to complete his mission, but must avoid detection and navigate the world he left behind to be reunited with the ones he loves.
After The Storm is an original audio fiction written and produced by Ramon Briant.
The mentor and supervising producer was Ian Walker.
Starring: Indiana Kwong as Alex, Tabitha Lafernis as the Robots Voice and Ad woman, Vinay Seethamraju as the customs officer, Catarina Fraga Matos as the news reader, Aileen Hyuyn as Sonia and Ramon Briant as Forest.
This episode was produced with the support of All The Best and The Jesse Cox Audio Fellowship.
