Jake Duke: What it Really Takes to Make It in NRL Media
In this special episode we're joined by Fox Sports host Jake Duke.
From pretending to interview people as a kid to becoming one of the faces of NRL media, Jake takes us inside his journey - the grind, the setbacks, the outfit changes in public toilets, to bring us what it actually takes to break into the industry.
In a wide ranging interview we cover his Indigenous advocacy, advice for aspiring media talent, and stories from behind the scenes of some of the biggest media organisations in Australia. We don't shy away from headlines or viral videos either.
If you've ever wanted to work in sport or media and wondered what it's really like, this is one you don't want to miss.
