  • Matty J ?

    Weird person and weird thing to do to invite him onto the podcast to discuss this topic knowing full well that Matty J and his wife have very publically tried to call out Kyle and have stated he deserved to lose his job. A bit bias in my opinion. There’s loads of podcasters that are A LOT more experienced in the podcasting world so choosing him was deliberate.

It was worlds apart from the others, who just feel so rehearsed and unnatural.

    Your podcast has done an excellent job of deep diving into why it exploded, the issues facing both l... more

  • 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

Is 2026 the Year Australian Media Changed Forever? | Tim Burrowes
Q: Is MFW a sustainable model, and what should advertisers do about it?
Tim notes that MFW is a business model built on outsized influence and advocacy, with advertisers needing targeted strategies and possibly regulatory leverage rather than broad-based campaigns; the path forward involves market-driven accountability rather than silencing opinion.
