Tanya Ali is no stranger to you - she's the host of Wednesday lunch, as well as FBi Radio’s managing director, so she drives a lot of what we do here at station. During our Supporter Drive, she joins Mia to talk about her story, the story of FBi, and how much the two play into one another. We also learn about Tanya on a personal level - she’s a lover of Meg Washington, a fearless leader, a music maker, precocious, and a huge horse girl.

Antonia Gauci is no stranger to FBi Radio. She’s a former presenter, our current sponsorship producer, and we play her songs on the radio all the time (she’s a member of the alt-pop three piece GAUCI). But you probably know Antonia for something else - she’s a mixer, sound engineer and producer, so her hands and her ears have worked on a lot of songs you’ve most likely heard before. On this episode of Out of the Box, Antonia speaks on the artists she’s worked with, burnout, dancing, music making at all its stages, and her love for FBi.
