- Informative
Interesting and revealing analysis of the way media is manipulated, consent is manufactured and diversity is tokenised in western capitalist countries.

Thank you for being a voice trying to save humanity.
You help me, and many others to not feel insane with the gaslighting and validate our concern for what’s happening.
Apple Podcasts5KitKindnessAustralia16 days ago - Literally Saving My Sanity
Thank you to the Ette’s for being a voice of reason amongst the chaos and rubble of mainstream media we’re being fed. Being of Lebanese-descent, this podcast warms my heart and validates my daily angst. This work on the podcast is more important than you may realise, thank you.
Apple Podcasts5Elizabeth♥Australia18 days ago - Listen with the teens
I listen to We Used to Be Journos on the daily commute with the teens in the car, which is no small feat, getting teenagers to tolerate the same audio as you is basically a miracle.
Fran and Antoinette are smart, funny, and honest about the media world. It feels like being the third wheel between two very sharp friends who know their stuff.
Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
