  • Clarification

    The “two-headed monster” description is accurate. But just to be clear, the curiosity around Kyle and Jackie O right now isn’t coming from fans.

    People are paying attention because it looks like behaviour that’s been normalised for decades is finally catching up with them.

    For more than 25 years the show has trained parts of Sydney to accept a level of disrespect and humiliation disguised as humour. Jackie’s role in laughing along and enabling Kyle’s behaviour is arguably just as concerning, b... more

  • The Finest Resource for Any Broadcaster

    Game Changers has, somehow, elevated itself yet again. This podcast has been one of the biggest competitive advantages for my broadcasting career, and seems to only be getting better. I am not sure how sustainable this incredibly high standard is, but somehow, the team seems to be getting better each week. Thank you Craig, Irene and Wade for all the hard work. Your content is so good, it almost feels like cheating.
