Toby Guthrie Coils the Spring is a radio documentary made by Melbourne, Australia, audio producer Kyla Brettle.
The piece is a gentle and intimate story of living on the edge, waiting for a disaster. Toby Guthrie Coils the Spring was first broadcast in Australia in 2004 on ABC Radio's Radio Eye. A day in the life portrait of Toby Guthrie, an ambulance paramedic working in Melbourne, Australia, the programme follows the stops and starts of a regular 12-hour shift on the road. As Toby takes us through his day we explore what drove him to become a paramedic and why he thinks it's the best job in the world. When Toby puts on his paramedic uniform he feels able to do things and be someone he otherwise isn't. The uniform is also a ticket to the world where the other half lives - a confronting place of poignant stories and hard truths that challenge Toby's perspective on his own life and society.
