Podcast appearances and mentions of Michelle Guthrie

Join us in an enlightening episode featuring Michelle Guthrie, the mastermind behind Neglected Musicals. Michelle's rich history in the entertainment industry, managing media for legends like Cyndi Lauper, Bernadette Peters and Kristin Chenoweth, is truly inspiring. In this episode, we explore the concept of Neglected Musicals, a theatrical initiative dedicated to bringing musicals that Australia has rarely seen to the forefront. Dive into her insights, the format of Neglected Musicals, and what constitutes a 'neglected' musical.

Welcome to an audio-led edition of Unmade.Today's episode features an interview with one of Australia's most storied media figures - former Insiders host Barrie Cassidy, who shares his unfiltered thoughts on the state of the Australian media landscape, the ABC, Michelle Guthrie's turbulent tenure as ABC boss, the devolution of the prime minister's press office, and the unhealthy coziness between politicians and journalists that's developed in recent years.If there was ever someone to offer an authoritative account on the evolution (or devolution) on the state of Australia's media, it would be Barrie Cassidy, former foreign correspondent and original host of ABC's Sunday morning Insiders program for 18 years.In conversation with Unmade's Seja Al Zaidi, Cassidy offers a candid analysis on the state of political journalism, the ‘arrogance' of the ABC when it comes to outside criticism, and his loss of faith in editorial judgments across the media industry after the Robodebt Inquiry was poorly covered.The conversation begins with Cassidy's scorching assessment of how prime ministers' press offices have devolved in how they try to manage the media. Cassidy was former PM Bob Hawke's press advisor from 1986 to 1991. He believes the decline began in the Kevin Rudd years, as political operators began to see an opportunity to fill the void created by 24 hour news."“And that's a very different way of operating now than what exists today, where they have so many press secretaries that they're able to get so heavily involved in media manipulation,” says Cassidy. “They get to the point where they really do think they can manage the media.”He warns that journalists are now reluctant to hold politicians to account the way they used to, because of the fear of being frozen out from information.“The end result of this - and I think it's a sad development in terms of how political journalism works - is the coziness of the relationship between the politicians and the journalists. They all depend so much on one another and it becomes this bubble, this club where where there's an attempt to mutually benefit one another,”While Cassidy classifies the biggest change in the Australian media landscape in the last decade as News Corp becoming “more blatantly propagandist”, he doesn't spare his alma mater, the ABC, from criticism either.Though he believes the ABC to be ‘the most important public institution' in the country, he also says it's “become just a little too arrogant and authoritarian in some respects” He's also critical of proposals to move some ABC operations to Parramatta as “tokenism”.On the topic of the ABC, Cassidy also explains why he believes former managing director Michelle Guthrie's tenure was such a failure, and made her predecessor Mark Scott so successful.Today's podcast was produced by Seja Al Zaidi and edited by Abe's Audio, the people to talk to about voiceovers, sound design and podcast production.We'll be back with more tomorrow.Message us: letters@unmade.media This is a public episode.

A very special episode. We're joined by Tim Burrowes author of the book “Media Unmade: Australian Media's Most Disruptive Decade”.We unpack some of the key events and themes in the book through the lens of the Media Sales Professionals working on the frontlines. We discuss whether the past 10 years can be a predictor for the next 10, and ultimately why an understanding of the structural foundations of the Media are essential for people working in the profession.Click here for a free 60 day trial to the Unmade Newsletter.Unmade is my email newsletter for the Australian media and marketing industry.

Drawing on insights from his ringside seat, independent journalist, commentator and Mumbrella founder Tim Burrowes knits together the big events and conversations with key players then and now to reveal the drama and tell the stories behind the changes that every consumer of Australian media has witnessed over the past decade.In this unprecedented account, Tim considers how the newspaper rivers of gold evaporated, TV viewers turned to Netflix, and radio listeners started streaming instead. He covers how networks went broke, the ABC came under sustained attack, and how News Corporation's phone hacking drama in the UK delivered Rupert Murdoch to the most humble day of his life.Of course there is no drama without people and as much as Media Unmade is the tale of the fluctuating fortunes of some of the country's best-known companies, it also presents the compelling stories of the powerful personalities who have shaped them – from the Murdochs, to Antony Catalano and Greg Hywood, to Kim Williams and James Packer, Gina Rinehart, Alan Jones, Michelle Guthrie, Justin Milne and Kerry Stokes.Against the existential threat embodied by Google and Facebook, Australia's media companies remade their broken business models and plotted takeovers in a battle for survival. And just when the worst seemed to be over, COVID-19 delivered the biggest advertising recession of all time, pushing every media company to the brink.

Welcome to this week's mini episode all about how you should think about career opportunities. Making career decisions can be really stressful can't it? One guest who made a big impression on us with her career advice is the well known Australasian leader, Michelle Guthrie. Michelle has had an international career including being CEO of Star TV in Asia, a senior executive at Google in Asia, and she was Managing Director of Australia's national broadcaster the ABC - a term which ended in great controversy and was a challenging time for all involved.Michelle really believes all of us need to take a few more risks and think about our careers with the long term in mind. She also has great advice on how we need to back ourselves more and trust we'll figure it out even if it seems really daunting. So if you're in need of some reassurance and perspective on a career decision, then this is ten minutes you need to spend right now!

A theatre foyer would not be complete without the presence of Michelle Guthrie. She has worked in the entertainment industry for over 30 years and has been present at a vast array of entertainments as a performer, publicist or producer. Since her youth she has been an avid participant in any experience involving the business called show. She was always destined to contribute to the making of theatre.Creating Neglected Musicals in 2010, Michelle has presented 21 musicals over the past 10 years. She is the Associate Producer of the critically acclaimed and Award winning Calamity Jane, which toured Australia in 2018 and Monty Python’s SPAMALOT touring in 2020.

Ep. 23 Emma AlbericiAs a very highly regarded journalist and television presenter with over 30 years experience, Emma Alberici has some fabulous stories of her time in the industry. And some not so fabulous. She parted ways with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in 2018 where she was the Chief Economics Correspondent. It was a very public departure. To say the least. In the fallout that followed, the then Chairman of the ABC, Justin Milne resigned, the then Managing Director, Michelle Guthrie was sacked, the then Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull was throwing his weight around on the issue. Seriously. And Emma was in the middle of it all. Regardless of your personal opinions at the time....can you imagine?Some of the press were quite vicious towards Emma. Personal and gender based criticisms were, at times, quite relentless. To Emma, that was especially disappointing and disheartening.So she opened a new chapter. She took a senior role in a fintech company, vowed to never front a TV program again....and set about writing her memoir (to be published later in 2021).I tried to entice her back with an offer of a joint weekly podcast about politics with a difference. This one would have an idiot sidekick. I even volunteered for the idiot part. She just laughed. Quite rightly. She's happy right where she is. #RIW #reallyinterestingwomen #emmaalberici #abc #yourabc #lateline #aca #walkleyawards #comparethemarket #richardinstagraham

How will the power be handed back to the people?Plus, Mikey Robins dropped by for a chat about his new book, his media career, and whether satire will ever get old.

Alan Soon of Splice Media is promising a million dollars to give to start-ups to transform media in Asia. ShutterstockToday on Media Files, a podcast about the major themes and issues in the media, we’re looking at the future newsroom. We often hear about the doom and gloom of established media companies as they shed staff and revenues, but is there hope for journalism and a new style of digital newsroom? We ask of the man with an ambitious mission to launch 100 media start-ups in three years: what does the future newsroom look like? Our guest is co-founder and CEO of Splice Media, Alan Soon. Based in Singapore, Alan is a former journalist and producer at Yahoo, CNBC, Bloomberg and Kyodo News, and is promising a million dollars to give to start-ups to transform media in Asia. We talked about: • Challenges and opportunities for start-ups • His pledge to launch 100 digital media start-ups in Asia over three years with a $1 million fund – and where the money comes from • Why he thinks Asia lacks a robust ecosystem around media start-ups. • How to build communities around membership and make a media start-up financially sustainable. • Media trends and innovations that he expects we will see more of in the future. • How limiting the different regulatory environments and political norms such as regard for freedom of expression may be in parts of Asia. And much, much more.

It's hard to imagine the ABC without Insiders, the television show that reshaped the broadcaster's Sunday morning political programming. Host Barrie Cassidy launched Insiders 17 years ago, but plans for the program actually began in Belgium, where he sketched out a promising format with his houseguests, photographer Mike Bowers and future news director Gaven Morris.Barrie has seen both sides of politics in an extensive career. He spent three years as a press gallery journalist in Canberra, and six as Prime Minister Bob Hawke's press secretary.In this episode of Behind the Media, he tells Stephen Brook about accusations of partisan bias, what went wrong with sacked ABC managing director Michelle Guthrie, and his own experiences of political fallout at the national broadcaster decades ago.

Former ABC Managing Director Michelle Guthrie looking toward a different future earlier this year at the ABC's first Annual Public Meeting.
