Australia23 days ago - Excellence In Journalism
Trail blazing blog, podcast and emails that gives us alternative and thorough analysis to the major media (mostly their ex-employers).
Ironic that journalists ’let go’ or who jumped are now setting the standard for traditional media companies to aspire to.
Apple Podcasts5HovelitesAustralia4 months ago - Quality podcast
Succinct and intelligent questioning. Plenty of uninterrupted time for guests to respond. Great work.
Apple Podcasts5Solowoman07Australia5 months ago - Big Topics
The only media company talking about the real big topics and not just following the same stories as the rest of the media pack. A podcast not owned by a billionaire which is a breath of fresh air.
