Program: Leigh Sales on humanity’s best stories

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume.

Some stories are best told first-hand by those at the centre of the action. 

It's how the ABC's Australian Story has brought us so many compelling personal narratives and it's a format that's captivated the program's host Leigh Sales.

So which episodes stick in her mind? There's a dramatic rescue on the Franklin River, the widows who found love again, Jelena Dokic's family anguish and the adventures of missing sausage dog, Valerie. 

This week, Sam Hawley is joined by ABC presenters and journalists to discuss their best stories and interviews from 2025.

Today, Leigh Sales on the tales she can't forget.
