On the eve of the 11th anniversary of the royal prank call that made international headlines, Mel Greig has decided it's time to own her story.In a sit-down chat with the Christo and Dion, Mel opens up in a way she never has before about that infamous radio moment that changed a number of lives forever. At the time, it made her one of the most-hated people on the planet. Soon, Mel internalised that energy into her own spiral of self-hatred, and many difficult years followed.BROWN PARK LINKS:InstagramFacebookTik TokWebsiteShop Brown Park
She is the woman who clinched the 2019 interview with Prince Andrew, described as 'a plane crashing into an oil tanker, causing a tsunami, triggering a nuclear explosion'. She is many things beside: the first in her family to go to university; a trained barrister; a single mum; a master of persuasion. In her former BBC colleagues' words, she was the 'booker extraordinaire', responsible for many of Newsnight's exclusives over the past decade, including Stormy Daniels, Sean Spicer, Brigitte Hoess, Steven Seagal, Mel Greig and Julian Assange.After 12 years producing content for Newsnight, McAlister reflects with candour on her experience, sharing not just the secrets of how the best news gets made, but also the changes to the BBC, the future of 'mainstream media' in the age of clickbait and the role of power and privilege in shaping our media landscape.This is a backstage pass to the most unforgettable journalism of our times.

In this episode Laura speaks with Sam McAlister, producer, and booker extraordinaire for the BBC, who secured the BBC Newsnight Interview with Prince Andrew in 2019. Sam is a former barrister and author of the book, Scoops. Scoops details all the behind the scenes of the BBC most shocking interviews, which includes the BBC interview with Prince Andrew, which changed history forever. Sam shares behind the scenes details about the interview with Prince Andrew and Laura provides insight into the psychology of his behaviour and actions. Laura also tells Sam she was asked to analyse and profile the interview for the BBC before the interview aired on BBC Newsnight. Before discussing Prince Andrew, Laura asks Sam about the most watched BBC Newsnight interview with Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus. Amanda was 16 and Gina 14 years old when they were tricked into going with Aerial Castro in Cleveland Ohio. Castro took them to his home, and they spent years locked in his basement, even giving birth whilst in captivity. You will not want to miss this. More about Sam: Sam was the first in her family to go to university, before training to be a criminal barrister. As a single mum, she decided her real passion was in news. Now BAFTA-nominated for her work with BBC Newsnight, McAlister's hard-won exclusives have shaped the public conversation including Stormy Daniels, Sean Spicer, Brigitte Höss, Steven Seagal, Mel Greig and Julian Assange. #PrinceAndrew #Scoops #BBCNewsnight #VirginiaGiuffre #Epstein #GhislaineMaxwell #WomenMatter #CrimeAnalyst #Expert #Analysis #TrueCrime #Podcast #Crime Clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUSbdplroIA Scoops Book https://www.amazon.com/Scoops-Behind-Scenes-Shocking-Interviews/dp/0861544404 Information about the DASH Coercive Control and Train the Trainer Masterclasses with Laura https://shoutout.wix.com/so/eeOI-OpnS?languageTag=en Crime Analyst Merch https://crime-analyst.myshopify.com/ Leave a Review If you want to support my work and Crime Analyst and if you enjoyed this episode, please leave a 5-star review here: https://www.crime-analyst.com/reviews/new/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to the latest edition of the Unmade podcast. Today's edition features another free extract from the audio edition of my book, Media Unmade, which is published by Hardie Grant and available online and in book stores.In this final chapter of Act 1, we explore the Australian radio industry at the first half of the previous decade. It was a time when Austereo's two networks, Triple M and the Today network were dominant. Hamish Blake and Andy Lee's national drivetime show had become a once-in-a-generation phenomenon and Kyle Sandilands and Jackie Henderson's new pairing was starting to hit its stride, first with the Hot 30, then with Sydney breakfast.But the takeover of Austereo by Southern Cross Media signalled a change of culture. As Kyle Sandilands later described it, the company went from the handshakes and cowboy boots of the Kirby family, to the corporate outlook of accountant Rhys Holleran.And Australian radio kept being hit with controversies. That included Kyle & Jackie O's infamous lie detector segment in which a teenage girl was quizzed about her sexual assault, and then Sandiland's “piece of s**t” on air attack on a female journalist. Over at 2GB, Alan Jones was beginning to experience the growing power of social media to create advertiser boycotts.And then, disastrously, came the suicide of nurse Jacintha Saldanha, over what should have been a harmless on-air prank from the inexperienced new hosts of the Hot 30, Michael ‘MC' Christian and Mel Greig.The duo ended up as the face of the tragedy, while those who took the management decisions to air the segment stayed behind the scenes. Today's chapter is free to all subscribers. Some future chapters will only be available only to paying subscribers to Unmade. For the next seven days, I'm offering a major discount on a year's subscription, which is available via the button below.

When I mention the words 'royal prank' I’ve no doubt you’re now picturing Mel Greig – one half of the radio DJ duo caught up in the firestorm that surrounded the whole fiasco.There was a time where you couldn’t turn on your TV, open a paper, or scroll social media without some mention of the scandal. But just in case you need a refresher… In 2012 Mel and her Hot 30 co-host Michael Christian pranked the hospital where the Duchess of Cambridge was receiving treatment. They were impersonating the Queen and Prince Charles and they fooled the nurses on duty.A few days later, one of those nurses took her own life.From that moment, Mel’s life completely unravelled.Suffering severe depression, she seriously contemplated ending her life. She was unemployable and because of the death threats made against her, she wasn't allowed to leave her house.But as Mel tells me on one particularly bad day, on her bathroom floor, she chose life. It's a motto she continues to live by and has got her through a turbulent time since, from discovering her husband's infidelity and their subsequent marriage break down, the destruction of her embryos, her mum passing away from pancreatic cancer, and a stage 4 endometriosis diagnosis rendering her infertile.Mel gets really candid with me about the last eight years with heartbreaking honesty. This is probably one of the most memorable interviews I’ve done during my time as a journalist. Mel is phenomenal, and a true testament of a woman determined to turn the lemons in her life into lemonade by encouraging others to choose life. And to choose it every single day.A trigger warning - this episode discusses suicide. 24 hour support is available by calling Lifeline on 13 11 14.If you'd like to connect with Mel on Instagram - check her out @melgreig_You can find me at my new handle @elizabethanileIf you're enjoying what you're hearing, I'd love for you to hit subscribe, click five stars and perhaps even leave a review, it'll help other people find Lemonade who perhaps really need it.
