Podcast #50 2012: Fiona Connolly
It has taken a while to organise a recording session with the editor of the biggest-selling weekly magazine in Australia, Woman's Day. But we were invited into Fiona Connolly's office this week for what amounts to a masterclass in magazine publishing and celebrity wrangling. Hear the behind-the-scenes story about securing an interview with Simone Callahan for the cover story of the current edition. Find out about the celebrities that sell and those that don't. Connolly talks about her weekly competitors and about being the official magazine for The Voice. She recalls her days on Sydney Confidential and reveals how she feels about Kyle Sandilands now after she famously banned him from the newspaper during a massive feud several years ago.


Podcasts #51 & #52: Inside Sky News
First up we spoke with Bridie Barry, Sky News Business anchor and host of the world-famous Mediaweek TV program.
We also caught up with Celina Edmonds, the national affairs correspondent for Sky News who talked about her highights from covering major events around the world for Sky News. She also looked back through her career and recalled for us the amazing years she spent in Tasmania 20 years ago covering the shootings at Port Arthur as a young reporter and news anchor for ABC Hobart.
