POPULARITY
On this special episode of Media Voices, former Editor in Chief of EMPIRE Terri White takes us through the changes she made during her time at the magazine, from opening up the brand to a wider audience of both readers and contributors, to inspiring staff and cultivating the passionate community of new and longer-term subscribers. She also expounds her reasons for resigning from EMPIRE - a role that she still today calls the best job in the world - and the realities of juggling family life with a top job in media.
Journalist and Empire Editor-in-Chief Terri White’s job in New York appeared an incredible dream. But it triggered a mental breakdown that left her locked in a New York psychiatric ward. Her new memoir, Coming Undone, charts the troubled times that led to that moment, and her Grazia life advice is as honest as her book.
Our 100th episode special was recorded live in front of an audience in London on May 2nd. We were joined by four fantastic guests - EMPIRE’s Editor in Chief Terri White, The Week’s Chief Executive Kerin O’Connor, PinkNews’ Head of Platforms Ellen Stewart, and Bibblio’s founder Mads Holmen - to discuss whether publishers can maintain brand identity in a world of distributed content. Many thanks to Bibblio for helping to organise the event, to our media partner What's New In Publishing, and to the guests who turned out to celebrate with us!
For years, Adam McKay was dedicated to making us laugh with brilliant, surreal, gloriously daft comedies like Anchorman, Step Brothers, and The Other Guys. Lately, he's turned his attention to making us laugh, and also scream in horror at the state of the world, with the Oscar-winning The Big Short and next week's Vice, in which Christian Bale plays former US Vice-President, Dick Cheney. In this week's podcast, McKay chats to Chris Hewitt about that film, about his new approach, and his very real brush with death. Then, in the podbooth, Chris is joined by Helen O'Hara, Empire Editor-in-Chief Terri White, and James Dyer to tackle a question about the 2019 movie news story they'd like to see, discuss the news stories that broke this week, from Missions Impossible to the Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer, and then review Glass, Mary Queen of Scots, and Beautiful Boy. And, in true Adam McKay fashion, there may be one or two LOUD NOISES. Enjoy.
This month, Sali Hughes is joined in the studio by co-host Sarah Morgan, Empire Magazine Editor-in-Chief Terri White and writer Michael Hogan. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Recorded in front of a live audience because why the hell not, the first ever Pilot TV Podcast, tied in with the new cinematic TV magazine brand from the people who brought you Empire, is hosted by the mag's Editor in Chief Terri White, along with her trusty bald deputies James Dyer and Boyd Hilton. Together they discuss this week's Hot Topic - current BBC ratings smash Bodyguard, plus TV News on the imminent arrival of the hugely anticipated comedy thriller Killing Eve, from Fleabag creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the trailer for the final season of House Of Cards, and TV sexiest ever drama, apparently, Wanderlust. We also review new ITV thriller Strangers starring John Simm, BBC2's wildly ambitious Black Earth Rising with the phenomenal Michaela Coel, and Sky One/NOW TV's big-budget fantasy series A Discovery Of Witches.
