In this episode, Jan and Antoinette have a candid and sometimes chaotic conversation about whether they still see themselves as journalists—and why they threw caution to the wind and launched an independent media company. This honest exploration of the Australian media industry is part reflection, part existential crisis.
It’s A No From Me: A dissection of a political TV debate that’s more spectacle than substance, and the framing of the massacre of Palestinians seeking help is manipulated to fit a narrative that’s as deadly as it is misleading.
It’s A Yes From Me: Antoinette gives a thumbs up to independent media peers who are growing and commissioning writers Cheek Media and DeepCut News.
Meanwhile, Jan shouts out British journalist Mona Chalabi’s interview on Real Talk —because sometimes, you just need a good interview to rewire your brain and remind you that you’re not alone.
