In a first for the DAB+ digital radio platform, a special broadcast by Sydney's FBi Radio included a transmission of images to support a narrative form. Radio with Pictures was held at the Opera House, as part of the Graphic Festival program on the 11th of November. The event featured some of Australia's most talented writers, radio makers and illustrators being brought together to create 90 minutes of story telling.

Abstract
This article discusses a pilot project that adapted the methods of digital storytelling and oral history to capture a range of personal responses to the official Apology to Australia’s Indigenous Peoples delivered by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd on 13 February 2008. The project was an initiative of State Library of Queensland and resulted in a small collection of multimedia stories, incorporating a variety of personal and political perspectives. The article describes how the traditional digital storytelling workshop method was adapted for use in the project, and then proceeds to reflect on the outcomes and continuing life of the project. The article concludes by suggesting that aspects of the resultant model might be applied to other projects carried out by cultural institutions and community-based media organizations.
