We Used To Be Journos
A weekly podcast where two media insiders break down broken news.
This weekly podcast brings you honest and original media analysis from two insiders who’ve broken plenty of news and been broken by it too.
Hosted by veteran journalists (and even longer-suffering friends) Jan Fran and Antoinette Lattouf, We Used to Be Journos is your guide to the way the media works.
Join us every Wednesday as we unpack the headlines you see, and the power you don’t. We’ll take you through the week’s sketchy editorial decisions, suspect sources and thinly veiled bigotry. We’ll show you how the media sausage is made - and how not to get indigestion.
Armed with a low tolerance for spin, zero patience for BS, and just enough humour (and delusion) to keep working in the media, We Used to Be Journos serves up hot, sharp, unapologetic media tea.
Only Fran
A weekly Saturday podcast where Jan Fran analyses, critiques and gives her opinion on one issue from the week or cultural zeitgeist that's been living rent free in her head.
In this podcast you get thoughtful, considered, unique, researched, timely, and—let’s face it - hilarious commentary from Walkley Award-winning journalist Jan Fran.
It appears in the We Used To Be Journos feed.
