A former headmistress gives a student a liberating gift... a woman learns the meaning of a 'mum'... and a story for every person out there enduring the Aussie summer and afraid to strip off!

Three stories from our show at the Noosa Long Weekend Festival at the Noosa Arts Theatre.

For #MentalAs week, 6 brave Tasmanians told their stories of mental health at Moonah Arts Centre.

What happens when you ask a bunch of writers to tell us about 'losing the plot'?

Stories of the 'The First Times' from our storytelling night at the Tasmanian Writers and Readers Festival.

Will Siobhan Hegarty find the pin up boy from Frankie Magazine? How will Andy Leonard keep his pet budgie alive? Does Helen Townsend prevent traumatising her children when a pet mouse goes missing?

We're lucky at Now Hear This. A lot of the time people come back more than once to tell their story. Over the years of Now Hear This, Sophie Townsend, Sonny Mickelson and Mart Basa have each told wonderful stories, more than once.

Three completely different stories: Sophie Townsend takes us inside the world of celebrity, Peter O'Connor attends a death on Goulburn Island and Jenni Cargill-Strong tells the stories of two very special mulberry trees.

Sometimes, going away from home is about more than seeing places you haven't seen before. In these two stories, from Lisa Pellegrino and David Ridley, a whole new understanding comes from being somewhere far from their comfort zone.

Right near where the New South Wales border meets the Victorian, there are loads of good stories to be told. Now Hear This discovered this at the Write Around the Murray Festival in Albury. Seven storytellers both from the festival told true stories from their lives. The stories you're about to hear take us from mischief in Albury to stalking in America to the many things the weather did to stall a house being built.
