it four half-asian co-hosts out of five" - Nick Watts (Editor, Future Perfect)

***** "Self Indulgent Bliss' - Amelia Jenner (Body Promise)

***** "There was snacking, chatting and a very warm feeling in the Sleepless studio last night - as a bonus, I received 5 star therapy for my Drake addiction and ventured into the night liberated xoxo" - Justin Wolfers

***** "Very permissive music policy, cosy atmosphere and emotive themes - a bit like a music therapy session if you're supposed to feel worse afterwards" - Moon Holiday

He might be a Sleepless in Sydney host alumni, but Saint-Leon's Alister Hill is still very much dedicated to the project of late night listening. You'll hear his selection of midnight songs from midnight tonight! From 11 we'll be selecting songs on the theme of 'obedience'.

28/11/2018

Our Queen of extravagant pop Donatachi will be in the studio tonight from midnight to wax lyrical about the extravagantly emotional music they listen to late at night. Listen to the latest Donatachi single “In Love” right now. We, too, are in love!

By stark contrast we will be dealing with the theme of the “mundane” in the opening hour, a slew of drab songs to really make it feel like you’ve earned the hypercolour of Donatachi’s midnight snacks.

All this from 11pm on FBi Radio.

21/11/2018

What a mess! But tonight, we’ll sort through the layers.

FBi Radio, 11-1am.

14/11/2018

We are completely floored to announce that our guest on Sleepless tonight is none other than CHARLI XCX! In what must be one of our most exhaustive Midnight Snacks segments yet you'll hear her wax lyrical on Britney's Everytime alongside a gushing, 7-minute soliloquy on the genius of Yung Lean and the story of her friendship with Sophie. We'll be broadcasting that interview from 11pm tonight.

Afterwards, we'll discuss Jared's devastation at being out of the country for the both the interview and her incredible Pop 2 show at the Metro (from which the below photo is taken - by Georgia Moloney), and we'll be selecting songs on the theme of "1999".

From 11pm on FBi Radio tonight.

Tonight on Sleepless in Sydney we're blessed to welcome FBi celebrity and Weekend Overhang host Maria Dimitrakas as our guest. Her star power at the station is so vast and undeniable that she was most recently tapped to perform on film as a teen, human version of FBi Radio itself, pictured below.

In tribute to her glory, we'll be dedicating the entire first hour of the show to songs dedicated to, about or mentioning "Maria" - think West Side Story, The Sound of Music and maybe a few tracks that aren't showtunes thrown in for good measure.

From 11pm-1am on FBi Radio tonight.

31/10/2018

tonight’s episode is dedicated to diving into the “horror! the horror!” of both halloween and the wider world.

we’re going to play songs scarier than looking into james woods’ cold, dead, libertarian eyes.

Say what you want about the emotional opacity of internet goth aesthetics, our guest tonight, the waify angel below, lets his heart and spirit shine through at all times. Christian Whitwell, code-name Grasps_ will come to us tonight with selections both tortured and sublime that have accompanied the late nights of his life.

Incidentally you can also check out his brand new track "Drained" right!! now!!

Meanwhile, we continue with our themes related to the location of vacationing host Jared by playing songs about New York - his next destination.

Tune in from 11pm tonight AEST on FBi Radio.

Basking in the glow of the weekend at National Young Writers' Festival, Marcus and I are both dreaming of the Newcastle ocean baths, dolphins swimming not too far away. So for our first hour, we're talking all things 'Salty', a nice counterpart to last week's overindulgence of confectionary.

Then, for Midnight Snacks, we're continuing the post festival glow with delightful writer, panelist and podcaster Liz Duck-Chong. She'll be taking us through the songs that keep her warm at night.

FBi Radio 94.5fm 11-1am, or, as always, listen online and on-demand at https://fbiradio.com/945fm/programs/sleepless-in-sydney/

It's FBi's Sweet 15th Supporter Drive, and tonight we're supplying the sugar.

Tonight's theme is confectionary -- and we've got a lot of the sweet stuff to go around, so it's a two-hour special. Oh, honey honey.

Listen in FBi Radio 94.5 11-1am, or online and on-demand over at FBi's site, where you can sign up as a supporter and go into the draw to win some pretty sweet prizes of your own.

Since we're in the swing of FBi Radio's sweet fifteenth supporter drive, we've lined up two of the station's behind-the-scenes heroes for tonight's show.

First, we've got All The Best's Chloe Gillespie filling in as co-host, which is terribly exciting -- in keeping with the teenage vibes, we're theming our first hour around all things DRAMA.

Then, for Midnight Snacks, we're hearing the late-night listens of Selena Shannon, FBi legend, audio story genius and generally illustrious presence.

While I've lined up co-hosts for two of the three weeks Marcus is away in Europe, sometimes it's best to feel the lack before you move on.

With that in mind, tonight's Sleepless is a little different: we're playing music around the theme of 'absence' tonight, sitting within the void. And for Midnight Snacks? Well, we can't always be sated, so we're going to do the full show on-theme.

Feel free to text in song requests: 0409945945.

Do you ever find yourself reckoning with the unexpressible? Unable to find the correct words to say to others in your life? Unsatisfied with the available vocabulary to pinpoint the exact feeling you're experiencing? Tonight's theme is just for you - we'll be selecting songs from 11pm that consult and sometimes embody "the unspeakable".

Then, at midnight, we welcome for the first time composer Alex Turley and his selections of songs that have melted away his late night problems like too much icecream in the Perth sun.

All this from 11pm tonight on FBi Radio.
