A South Auckland news junkie on the end of Newshub and a new era at the Pacific Media Network
William Terite has been fascinated by the news since Barbara Dreaver showed up at his primary school. He started working at Newstalk ZB at 17, and got his dream job at Newshub at just 20. Now a veteran of 23, he has a new role at the revitalised Pacific Media Network, hosting its flagship Pacific Mornings show. He joins Duncan Greive to talk about all he's been through in a short span.

Chris Henry founded 818 publicity a couple of months before The Spinoff, in June of 2014. He joins Duncan Greive on The Fold to reflect on a radically changed environment for entertainment PR – and the sometimes tense role of pitching stories to editorial outlets when all the ad spend goes to social media.

A tumultuous year in the life of Shit You Should Care About
SYSCA founder Lucy Blakiston returns to the Fold for the first time in a while to talk through a truly singular year. Her business pivoted to being what it was perhaps always meant to be – her, as a solo news-explaining creator, working for her audience primarily. That meant saying goodbye to her two co-founders and taking on the whole load herself. But it also saw her sign a huge global book deal, move to Portugal, hit a deep depression, confront the realities of covering the war in Gaza online, move back to Blenheim. She also watched Instagram become Twitter in the process, while Substack became her true home. She joins Duncan Greive for an incredibly candid conversation about the reality of UGC life in 2024.

What does a near-complete survey of podcasting in New Zealand tell us?
Lewis Tennant is an energetic guy – an ex-radio presenter who got curious about podcasting about the same time we all did. But instead of stopping at listening or even creating, he turned it into an area of academic teaching and research. He joins Duncan Greive on The Fold to discuss what his research has unearthed, which New Zealand podcasts are driving the form forward, and the takeaways from his recent Podcast Summit.

Meta might turn off news in Australia. Here's how one publisher is responding
Sam Koslowski has news in his blood – his father was a senior journalist and he's been in the business for 12 years despite not yet hitting 30. He co-founded The Daily Aus with a bold goal – to create a news brand for young Australians which met them where they lived: on Instagram. Now Meta is threatening to turn off news across all its platforms, threatening the viability of his business – a situation which could also happen in Aotearoa. Koslowski joins Duncan Greive on The Fold to talk through the model and mission of The Daily Aus, and how it's responding to a near-existential threat.
