In this episode, the current state of Australian media is examined through Jan Fran and Antoinette’s decades long journeys in the industry.

They talk about how they broke into journalism, caught the tail end of television’s heyday, watched social media splinter audiences, and now brace for what AI is about to do to journalism and truth. They also maintain a decades-long grudge against their less-than-encouraging high school careers advisers.

In the end they land somewhere cautiously optimistic: independent media is growing and audiences want better.
