While this started as a podcast, it is now the audio from a YouTube show. That’s probably where the money is, so I don’t blame Rob. You miss an out on a bit without the video, but it still works as audio only.

It isn’t up to the standard of TV BlackBox, but still wor... more
Miss TV Blackbox. McKnight tonight is obnoxious concocted faux outrage and grandstanding.
When do we change the name to Seven’s Blackbox?
Rob is annoying & petulant but he has a producers sense of pace and punch. He’s never boring and the podcast is lost without him.

A sharp, debate-heavy takes on TV and media industries, with a focus on Australian broadcasting, industry upheavals, and behind-the-scenes production practices. Episodes frequently dissect media ethics (joke theft, on-set behavior), executive moves (exec departures, station sales), and the evolving landscape of free-to-air and streaming, often pairing insider analysis with pop-culture headlines. The host leans into candid, sometimes provocative commentary and panels, drawing on deep media connections to illuminate both industry dynamics and celebrity-era storytelling.
