Route 58: Emma Gibson

Today’s journey is a new fiction work by Emma Gibson: Happily, Ever Future. The optimum place to listen to it is on the route 58 tram, starting at stop 45, Bell Street and ending at stop 4, Collins Street, but it can be listened to on any tram at any time. In the near future, Melbourne is selected for a bold experiment to solve a wicked problem plaguing urban planners around the globe: will jamming mobile phones during peak hour commutes improve safety? Ash and Gem are regular passengers on the tram. Without screens to distract them, they make a connection, opening up the possibilities of further adventures together, but once normal mobile phone service is resumed, will they lose sight of one another again? You decide the ending depending on which stop you depart at.

Route 35: Nadia Bailey

Today’s journey is a new fiction work by Nadia Bailey: Route 35. The optimum place to listen to it is on the route 35 tram, starting at stop D2, Central Pier, but it can be listened to on any tram at any time. You’re startled awake on board route 35, and are unsettled to find that you recognise four of your fellow passengers from your dream. Each passenger tells a supernatural story related to four landmarks: Flinders St, State Library, Fitzroy Gardens, Old Melbourne Goal. You are filled with a sense of foreboding that something terrible will happen. A passenger presses you for information, and you lose control and attack them only to wake up, back at the start of your journey.
