    Mediaweek Newsmakers - Anthony Jeselnik

    He’s been described as a comedic dark genius. But beneath Anthony Jeselnik’s acerbic wit lies a mind shaped by the power of literature. Fiction, to be precise. In fact, Jeselnik’s appreciation for the written word is so great that he’s even started a book club. Called ‘The Anthony Jeselnik Book Club’ - the only prerequisite for membership is … well, nothing really. And, to be honest, that’s the real genius of the club - it’s open to anyone and everyone who wants to read. There’s no deal in it for him, no movie tie-ins or kickbacks, making it probably one of the more PURE things in the world right now. In this chat, we talk about Jeselnik’s education at Turlane, why he walked away from his first job writing jokes for Jimmy Fallon, and why nothing hits the human spirit like fiction.

    Mediaweek Newsmakers: MOVE 2.0 unshackled

    For years, the media industry considered out-of-home advertising the blunt instrument of the media mix. Planners bought giant billboards and hoped people would drive past. Those days are officially over. MOVE 2.0 has finally launched. The new $20 million measurement tool leaves its cage to shift the industry from simply buying panels to genuinely understanding people. In the latest edition of the Mediaweek Newsmakers podcast, Elizabeth McIntyre, chief executive officer of the Outdoor Media Association and MOVE, joins Brittany Crowley, national head of investment at Universal McCann, to unpack the reality of the release.

    Mediaweek Newsmakers: The female leaders of Omnicom

    What do you get when you invite six of ad land’s most powerful women into a room to talk candidly about what it means to be a woman in the industry? It might sound like the start of a riddle. After all, coordinating the diaries of six CEOs and senior leaders is no small feat. Amazingly, Mediaweek managed to do just that. In the aftermath of International Women’s Day, the Newsmakers podcast brought together a group of Omnicom’s most influential female leaders for an unfiltered conversation about leadership, change and the realities of navigating advertising’s power corridors. The line-up includes Laura Nice, CEO of PHD; Jo McAlister, CEO of Initiative; Liz Wigmore, Managing Director of Hearts & Science; Sian Whitnall, CEO of OMD; Sue Squillace, CEO Mediahub; and Stevie Douglas-Neill, CEO of UM.

    Mediaweek Newsmakers - Marc Fennell

    Marc Fennell has a knack for finding the stories that make you double-take. From art heists to stolen colonial artifacts, he has carved out a niche as Australia’s preeminent chronicler of the weird and the wealthy. His latest project, Australia’s Greatest Conman, dives into the surreal world of John Friedrich and the National Safety Council. Marc joined Mediaweek's Newsmakers to talk behind the scenes on the doco series that investigates Australia’s biggest fraudster. A guy who built a private counter-terrorism base, gave helicopter lifts to Bob Hawke, and was awarded an Order of Australia. And he paid for absolutely none of it.

    Mediaweek Newsmakers Debate - AI And Journalism

    What happens when a journalist who’s spent decades in the newsroom goes head-to-head with a futurist who believes AI could save it? In the very first Mediaweek’s Newsmakers Debate, Joe Hildebrand and Rita Arrigo face off over one of the biggest questions in modern media: Is AI destroying journalism, or helping it evolve? It’s a fiery, funny, and surprisingly hopeful exchange about truth, trust, and the future of storytelling — and it’s one every media professional should hear.

    Mediaweek Newsmakers - Shelly Horton

    There aren’t many journalists who can say they’ve gone from covering crime scenes to coaching CEOs - but Shelly Horton can. After three decades in the media, she’s swapped newsroom chaos for the boardroom floor, turning her sharp instincts and trademark humour into a mission: helping leaders find their voice and women find their power. In this episode of Mediaweek’s Newsmakers, Shelly talks about I’m Your Peri Godmother - her funny, fearless guide to perimenopause - and the advocacy work that’s taken her from TV studios to Parliament House. She also reveals the secret behind her “five Ps” for public speaking (spoiler: they’re not exactly HR-approved). It’s classic Shelly - smart, bold, and brilliantly unfiltered - proving that good preparation (and a solid sense of humour) can take you just about anywhere.
