⏮️On this day 30 years ago the ABC's Australian Story aired for the first time.

The new documentary-style program was groundbreaking at the time — a reportless format to allow "ordinary and extraordinary Australians" to tell their own stories in their own words.

Back then it was three stories over half an hour. Since that first episode Australian Story has delved into the lives of more than 1,400 people.

This weekend is the Wear Red round, an initiative to raise awareness of gender-based violence.

Any team from any code can take part by wearing two red armbands during their game and sharing a photo to social media.

"One is to honour the women who have been lost or killed by gender-based violence. And the other one is to drive accountability at sporting clubs," Ripley from Not All Clubs, who started the initiative, told 102.5 ABC Perth.

Not All Clubs calls out inequality in sporting organisations across the country. This weekend, the group is calling on teams to wear red armbands in memory of the women whose lives have been claimed by gender-based violence this year.

Dylan* was 15 years old when he gambled and lost his birthday money on an online game.

The app — which he had downloaded onto a school iPad, the type reserved for online learning in the classroom — was a puzzle game that relied on chance instead of logic and used crypto as betting currency.

"I lost the whole $100 and I remember I was pretty devastated," says the now 24-year-old from Victoria.

Despite that loss, he found himself turning to the app in class or in his bedroom at home, spending the money he was earning from a part-time job at a fast-food outlet.

"I was only doing about $100 per week. And then I discovered a website where you can play dice."

Big wins and even bigger losses followed, and after a very lucky streak, Dylan's bets were beginning to blow out.

"I remember there was a point where I did a $32,000 bet and I was like, 'I've got to stop.'

"But I couldn't resist the urge to press the button … what if this one was the one that made it all back?"

Dylan says it's easy for anyone to open a gambling account, including those who are underage.

"You would be surprised."

Ollie creates masks that are cool and different—just like him.

Some are based on everyday animals, others on creatures from their imagination. Because of his autism and ADHD, the process can take a bit longer, but it helps Ollie stay calm when things feel overwhelming.

Ollie says his masks aren’t about hiding, they’re just a small, fun part of life he gets to control.
