Yet until yesterday afternoon's Nine Upfront, none of the free to air TV players had set out their wares. In the podcast accompanying this post, I talk to Nine's new chief sales officer Matt James.It was also Matt Stanton's first Upfronts as CEO. And although he didn't come on stage, it was the first for Peter Tonagh not just as a Nine board director but incoming chair.So the event, ultimately, was a vibe check. After the sale of Domain, this was the first look at how Nine is facing the future in what has been a depressed advertising market.On the new content side, this was the least ambitious Nine Upfront I've been to since 2008 (the year the best content they had to talk about was Gordon Ramsay and Two and a Half Men). Not that this worried the audience - marketers and media agency people who prefer certainty when they book campaigns. The reliable shows are on the slate - The Block, Married At First Sight, Lego Masters et al. And sport - NRL, tennis and now the English Premier League - were prominent. Plus the winter Olympics.But with the exception of Shark!, featuring Nine-aligned celebs like The Block's Scot Cam meeting a shark. There was not a single big drama commission from Nine. That was a first, I think.There were some interesting choices around the preso, which was all business. There was no on-air talent on stage. And no lighter moments - imagine a whole Nine Upfronts without Today presenter Karl Stefanovic poking fun at himself. In what must have been a deliberate tone, there wasn't a single joke in the script. All the men wore suits (of course); all the women wore pantsuits.In our conversation, Matt James reveals that Nine's management have been working on their purpose for the business - and it's as a content company: “Fundamentally we are still a premium content long-form business.” But not, it would seem, one that plans to take big risks with that content. Not in this market, anyway.Most of the announcements were iterative - an upgraded self service Nine Ad Managers platform; lots of data and tech partnerships. (What would an Upfront be without a data partnership?)Instead this was an interim Upfront before Nine's future direction is settled. How to invest the money from the sale of Domain remains an open question. So too is the business-defining decision of what Nine does in the next NRL rights negotiation.Stanton gave a couple of interviews this week to coincide with the Upfronts. He said remarkably little. Giving the benefit of the doubt, it could be that revealing the plan would drive up the price of whatever asset(s) Nine wants to purchase. But it leaves a gap where the vision belongs. After these Upfronts, I'm none the wiser on the vision.The conversation with James does offer a couple of glimpses. As you'll hear, he is fond of business jargon, but there was a little more than that.Tellingly, was the fact that James was bullish on his ability to monetise NRL across free to air and streaming if Nine chases all rights in the next deal. “To have that control and flow of audience between your BVOD subscribers and your SVOD consumers… would be a phenomenal opportunity. So we already have an incredibly powerful and growing asset base, both in the BVOD and SVOD environment. I think we'd be very successful at it and would absolutely back myself 110%. If not, I'm shortly out of a job in six months.”In other words, as well as free to air, Nine may chase the pay rights currently held by Foxtel.Speaking of Foxtel, James also sent the strongest signal yet that Nine is going to become part of the Video Futures Collective. The VFC was created by Foxtel Media when Foxtel resigned from industry marketing body Think TV and later OzTAM.Despite the fact that Nine unveiled new research designed to demonstrate the effectiveness of television - the sort of thing that might previously have been industry funded via the moribund Think TV - James says that there will be collaboration with competitors.For more than a year, there have been ongoing promises from the TV players to imminently come back together to market their medium. Yet they never quite seem to happen. In our interview, James puts a timeline on it “I would like to think that certainly within the next two months, we can at least start to give clarity on how we would like to move forward as an industry. You know, it's critical.”More than once, James talked about the virtues of a private exchange. It sounds like the concept - effectively one place where premium video ads can be traded - is a few steps further than just being a concept.In the conversation, we also explore the virtues of Nine buying an outdoor company. And then there's the question of radio. With Nine Radio's talk network on the block, it must have been a dilemma on how to present it.The signal on the night was not entirely subtle - while publishing and TV presented side by side, Nine radio's commercial boss Brian Gallagher did his bit solo. It was a pretty good shop window, and he made Nine Radio seem like an asset worth buying.In our interview James accepted the premise that Nine might be better off owning an FM radio network that does better in the 25-54 demographic. “Obviously, in the FM environment, it does obviously attract to younger audiences. And there are actually strategically some interesting dynamics there that can work when you think about the sort of drive time integration and what those younger audiences represent.”By the time the next Nine Upfronts come around, things should be much clearer. The next NRL deal should be done. If Nine is going to buy into FM radio or outdoor, it will have happened. We'll see.Vinyl's AI bet gets early voteThe investment market appeared to like yesterday's announcement from Vinyl Group that it intends to use AI to create ten times the amount of content it currently produces, while reducing staff costs.

In this episode, Tina Tower takes listeners behind the scenes at South by Southwest (SXSW), her favorite tech conference. Having attended eight times, Tina shares her biggest takeaways, standout sessions, and key emerging tech trends—all with her signature candor and enthusiasm. This episode dives deep into AI trends, the loneliness epidemic, balancing technology and human connection, the environmental impact of AI, cybersecurity, and so much more. If you're keen to stay on the cutting edge of tech but also crave a more connected, fulfilling life, this one's for you. Key Takeaways: SXSW Overview: SXSW combines tech, music, and film; Tina focused on the tech track. It's a hub for learning, inspiration, and connecting with like-minded change makers. AI Everywhere: AI dominated the conference, but Tina questions whether mainstream desire matches tech-world hype. Small language models are emerging as more eco-friendly than large ones like GPT-4. AI agents, avatars, and robo-taxis are evolving fast—commercial fast-learning robots may be here by 2030. Human Connection & Loneliness: Keynote by Kasli Kalam emphasized the "loneliness epidemic." Her "5-3-1 Game": Connect with 5 people weekly, maintain 3 close relationships, and have 1 hour of quality interaction daily. Even introverts need meaningful connection, though the ideal amount varies. AI, Tech & Health: The paradox of embracing convenience tools while ensuring they support—not replace—human connection and mental health. Future health may involve mindset coaches as common as personal trainers. Ethics & Future Threats: A growing divide: people embracing vs. avoiding advanced tech (think brain chips and body-embedded sensors). Issues around trust in information and the growing need for credible journalism. Cybersecurity: Meredith Whitaker from Signal warned about privacy risks as AI agents start connecting all your personal information. Tips: Enable end-to-end encryption, especially for sensitive accounts like iCloud. Wonder & Curiosity: Beyond tech, nurture your community, stay curious, and deliberately step out of your echo chamber. The Need for Balance: Leverage AI for productivity, but use the gained time for real connection and human experiences. Draw boundaries with tech—seek more “off time” for happiness and well-being.   Whether you're a tech enthusiast or just trying to make sense of the digital world we're living in, this episode offers a grounded perspective with heart. Tune in to feel inspired, informed, and reminded that the future is human—tech is just the tool.

Brain Hurt Scale = 2/10 - Did you know, one of the biggest growth channels tech companies invest in is community? The same goes for companies outside of SaaS as well. Companies like Sephora and Nike have massive communities of customers that act as the glue for their entire promotional model. But how do you create them? What are the do's and don'ts we need to be aware of and what tools should we use? Luckily Paz Pisarski has created countless communities for some of the biggest companies in the world before evolving her model to teach this method to other community managers and interested entrepreneurs. During a panel discussion at SXSW Sydney in 2024 Paz Pisarski came into our orbit and we just had to have a chat afterwards, So if you want a crash-course in community building this will get you at least 90% of the way there. You could leverage the network effects and synergy that comes from building a high-value community. Or Continue to be a one-trick pony, cross your fingers and publish that next piece of content which everyone says is "going to go viral". ___________________ Paz Pisarski's LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/paz-pisarski/ Community Collective https://thecommunitycollective.co/

In this episode of the Black Magic Woman Podcast, I sit down with the talented group Dem Mob, a rising Indigenous hip-hop band making waves in the Australian music scene. Dem Mob, formed in 2019, began as a school project aimed at re-engaging Indigenous youth through music and culture. Today, they've transformed into a powerhouse collective, bringing Aboriginal language and culture to the forefront of their music, blending English and Pitjantjatjara languages to reach diverse audiences. In our yarn, we discuss the group's origins, their mission to inspire Indigenous youth, and the importance of integrating culture with education. They share how music provided them an escape and a path to empowerment, overcoming the challenges of mainstream education systems that often leave Indigenous students feeling disconnected. Now, with award-winning tracks and performances at major events like SXSW Sydney, Dem Mob continues to inspire and give back to their communities. Tune in to hear about their journey, their dedication to culture, and their vision for the future.

Welcome back to another season of The Future Report podcast! Last week, Mark McCrindle and Ashley Fell had the pleasure of speaking at the second iteration of SXSW in Sydney - a conference for global creative professionals seeking future industry trends and adventurous new ways of thinking. In today's episode, our podcast producer, Holly Schaaf, sits down with our host, Ashley Fell, to discuss McCrindle's recent involvement with this great event.

A BigLaw firm recently ran an experiment at the South by Southwest Sydney event, in which it tested whether artificial intelligence was capable of besting a senior associate in a mock trial. The end result offers pertinent lessons – not just for lawyers' use of emerging tech but also for advocates and clients alike. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Lander & Rogers senior associate and innovation manager Jeanette Merjane and digital economy lawyer Kenneth Leung about their respective work at the BigLaw firm and interest in artificial intelligence (AI), the impetus behind testing AI's capacity to win a court case, how they undertook the experiment at SXSW Sydney, and the questions the firm hoped to answer in doing so. Merjane and Leung also delve into what happened in the mock trial, how well the AI platform performed, what Merjane's experience was like going up against an AI platform, whether AI is likely to improve its advocacy, the insights gained from running the mock trial, whether the nature of advocacy is changing, whether clients will want to use AI to get the answers they are seeking, and what the experiment teaches us about the importance of human advocacy.

To call Parish Malfitano's sophomore feature, Salt Along the Tongue, a straight up horror film feels like a disservice to the experience of watching this magnificent melodrama-adjacent film. Yes, there are most certainly horrific elements - blood features heavily throughout the film, upsetting tales about the symbiotic relationship between wasps and figs are told, bodies float in the air in unsettling ways, boils and scars emerge in haunting ways on the legs of characters, and of course, the thematic backbone of Italian witches that feature within the film - but Salt Along the Tongue instead feels more like a familial, motherly drama in the vein of Pedro Almodovar's work.Yet, even calling Salt Along the Tongue an homage to Alomdovar feels like it's doing a disservice to Parish's work here. This is, much like his first film, a distinct work syphoned from the mind of Parish Malfitano, and in the realm of Australian cinema, that is a blessing.Salt Along the Tongue follows Laneikka Denne's Mattia, a teen girl who struggles to find her place in the world being bullied at school and simply unable to be herself. It's a reality that's thrown into further turmoil when her mother unexpectedly dies, with Mattia having to move to live with her aunt, Carol (Dina Panozzo), who also happens to be her mothers identical twin. Yet, Carol is distinctly different than Matthia's mother, with her aunt having an exuberant personality that, when married with her complicated relationship with alcohol and the cooking show she records with her coven of friends, causes Matthia's life to shift in ways she doesn't know how to fully navigate.This is just the surface of what Parish is working with in Salt Along the Tongue, a film that features an almost completely women led cast, and acts as an ode to mothers and the hardships that men have put upon them in the world. Shot with a stunning colour palette that plays out at times like an aurora gracing through the sky, and at others like a freshly slaughtered chicken, blood dripping everywhere, Salt Along the Tongue is a film full of supreme confidence, driven by a vision to explore Parish's Italian heritage in an Australian setting.The co-lead of the film, Laneikka Denne, wisely said on Letterboxd that this does not feel like it was made in Australia in all the right ways, and they are completely right. There's a brilliance at work here that feels diametrically opposed to the projects that funding bodies in Australia are supporting. Parish is not working alone in this capacity, with filmmakers like Alice Maio Mackay and Alina Lodkina each exploring personal narratives within Australian cinema, and in doing so, these filmmakers are shifting what Australian cinema is.That notion of Australian cinema, as always, is embedded in my conversations with filmmakers, and the following discussion with Parish, recorded ahead of the films launch at SXSW Sydney on 18 & 19 October, explores his relationship with Australian cinema, his drive to tell stories that he wants to see on screen, and his journey through the creative process of making Salt Along the Tongue. While this conversation goes for fifty minutes, I feel like we barely scratched the surface of what's at play within this vividly realised and sensorially invigorating film.So, with that said, if you're in Sydney, head along and see the film on 18 or 19 October. It looks like the 18th is sold out, so jump on board for the 19th if you can. Make sure to seek out Parish's previous film, Bloodshot Heart, which is available on demand.

These agents handle complex tasks independently, but questions remain on how they'll be monetized. Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff criticized Microsoft's approach, advocating for more integrated AI solutions.  Survey: 55% of Users Turning Away from Traditional Search Engines A survey by Barry Schwartz shows that 55% of respondents are using traditional search engines like Google less, favoring generative AI tools like ChatGPT. This contrasts with another survey by The Information, which reported a higher figure of 77%. The discrepancy might be due to differences in audience demographics, with Schwartz's poll leaning more toward SEO and search marketing professionals. AI vs. Lawyer: Live Mock Trial to Test AI's Capabilities in Court At the SXSW Sydney event in October 2024, a live mock trial will test whether AI can successfully represent a litigant in court. Using NexLaw's AI tool, one defendant will be supported by AI, while the other will have a human lawyer. The trial will explore whether AI can assist people who lack legal representation. The outcome, voted on by the audience, will offer insights into AI's potential in courtroom settings. Food Bloggers Concerned Over AI-Generated Recipes AI's integration into recipe development, including Apple's latest "Apple Intelligence," has stirred concerns among food bloggers. While AI can conveniently generate meal plans, critics argue that it lacks the human nuance, sensory experience, and cultural connection vital to cooking. Sarah and Kaitlin Leung, creators of The Woks of Life, emphasize that AI can't replicate the deep research and testing involved in crafting recipes. Conversely, Andrew Olson, developer of the AI-powered DishGen, believes AI offers new creativity in cooking without replacing human insight. Are Résumés Becoming Obsolete in the Age of AI? As AI increasingly powers applicant tracking systems and platforms like LinkedIn grow, some job seekers question if résumés are still necessary. Career expert Eli Amdur argues that despite tech advancements, résumés remain critical communication tools, presenting what role a candidate can play in an employer's future. While technology aids in initial screening, decision-makers still prioritize thoughtfully crafted résumés when evaluating candidates for roles.

Our guest today is the incredibly talented singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Sarah Kinsley. With roots in classical music, Sarah's journey into contemporary music led her to start writing and composing her own songs. She's now set to release her highly anticipated debut album, Escaper, this Friday. This indie pop record showcases Sarah's growth as an artist, with grand arrangements and beautiful instrumentation, featuring the production work of John Congleton. In today's episode, we chat with Sarah about stepping out of her home studio to collaborate with Congleton, how she knew the songs on Escaper would form her debut album, and delve into one of my favourite tracks, "My Name is Dancing." We also reminisce about our time together at SXSW Sydney last year and discuss her experience touring with Mitski.Sarah Kinsley: Instagram / SpotifyPurchase Escaper here.Visit our official website here and follow us across our socials.

If there was one thing you think society should talk more about, what would it be? “Giving can be a small amount and it still makes a difference.”__________If you've been listening to me for a while, you may recall that I attending the inaugural SXSW Sydney event in 2023 and amoung some of the most incredible talks and panels I attended, I came across today's guest. Theresa Winters organised the panel and session with the topic being microgrants. Alternative forms of fund raising have always intrigued me and I've been involved in micro-financing and giving circles previously so I was eager to learn more. Theresa is an international-award-winning community builder. Her full-time role is as the Alumni Programs Coordinator at the University of Technology Sydney (Australia's #1 young university), where she creates global connections between alumni, organisations, and students. She was the winner of the international Community Manager Award from the Global Workspace Association.She is the co-founder and editor of The Plus Ones, a media company that focuses on telling people about the best events and experiences across Melbourne and Sydney. If that wasn't already enough, Theresa is also the Dean of the Sydney chapter of The Awesome Foundation, and recently served as a Board member of the Surry Hills Business Partnership. She also acts as the Sydney lead for the Fomo Killer Society - a private group of the best founders, operators, and community builders throughout Australasia. Theresa's favourite activities include running a book club (focused on prize-winning and acclaimed literature); teaching workshops about Historical Linguistics at Laneway Learning; and planning elaborate theme parties for her friends! It takes a special kind of human to do the work Theresa does, so please enjoy meeting this wonderful woman.For more information about Theresa, check out these places;-Instagram: @desdrata  and  @awesomefoundsydLinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/theresawinters/Website: https://www.awesomefoundation.org/en/chapters/sydneyHead to michellejcox.com for more information about the ONE QUESTION podcast, your host or today's guestsConnect with Michelle on Linkedin here:- @MichelleJCoxConnect with Michelle on Instagram here:- @michellejcoxConnect with Michelle on Facebook here - @michellejcoxAND, if you have a burning topic you'd love people to talk more about, or know someone who'd be great to come on the One Question podcast, please get in touch;- hello@michellejcox.com

The Pals x Oliver Cronin Episode 268 Following the release of “Hello Goodbye” earlier this year, a sold out debut headline tour, and being nominated for Best New Artist at the 2024 Shure Rolling Stone Awards, Australian dark-pop artist Oliver Cronin keeps the momentum going with the anthemic new single “Burning House” via Warner Records / Warner Music Australia.  Taken from his to-be-announced debut album, “Burning House” hears the Sydney based artist stepping into a pulsating synth soundscape that is reminiscent of artists like Justin Bieber. Layering the upbeat production with confident and romantic lyricism, Oliver Cronin sings about even if everything goes wrong that you'll be fine as long as you're with the person you care most about.  "My producer Skimmy played me the beat for it the first day I got to LA, and I immediately knew I wanted to use it for the album. We got distracted making the rest of the album but every time we got in the car I'd get him to play that beat for me again. We got to the last couple days of the trip and we decided to give it a go, at that point in time I didn't have enough love songs on the record so we went into it with that in mind. The fun thing about the process of this song is there was absolutely no pressure because we had basically already written the whole album, so we could just fuck around and have fun and see what we came up with. I wrote it with Mason Dane, Dan Elkayan and Matt Hall and the song is about sticking by a loved one, your partner, your best friend, your ride or die really, through thick or thin. We knew it was something special as soon as we made it.” Says Oliver Cronin on the song.  2023 was a year full of highs for Oliver Cronin which saw multiple viral successes with his TikTok remixes and livestreams that have seen him amass over 670K followers on the app. Interpretations of songs like “Paint The Town Red” by Doja Cat, “Escapism” by RAYE, and “3:15 (Breathe)” by Russ have introduced him to a whole new audience, while his livestreams have seen him creating new music and candidly showing viewers his creative process. He shared a couple of singles including the hypnotic “Speed Bump,” the tropical-pop collaboration “I Need You” with Lil Xxel, and the summer anthem “1,2,3” with Topic which highlighted a well-crafted sound and an excitement to experiment. He also dropped the three-track EP after midnight (demos),which was a collection of unfinished demos he's written on live streams and ones fans were requesting. He featured on Connor Price's viral track “RUBY,” and Canadian rising star Lum's “Temptation.”  On the touring front in 2023, Oliver Cronin joined Nessa Barrett on her sold-out Australian and New Zealand tour in December which saw him performing in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Auckland. He also performed at the inaugural SXSW Sydney. 2024 is shaping up to be a massive year for Oliver Cronin following the release of “Hello Goodbye” and “Burning House”, his debut sold headline tour, and he's currently overseas on a whirlwind promo trip in UK, Germany, America and Asia. Stay tuned for more exciting news soon.    Follow him at @olivercronin & us @thepalspodcast / @yourpalrick @danigalarneau

It's common knowledge that train travel beats air travel in the sustainability stakes, but in recent months I've put this to the test a bit more than usual, in a country where it can be hard to do: my homeland, Australia.  It all began when Dr Susanne Etti, the Global Environmental Impact Manager for Intrepid Travel, challenged me to fly the shorter route to Melbourne and then take the train with her from Melbourne to Sydney, on our way to speak at SXSW Sydney. The Melbourne to Sydney route is one of the busiest domestic air routes in the world, and seeing how the train alternative worked was such a good idea! Susanne and I recorded our thoughts along the way, so you'll hear those in this episode, along with our answers to a bunch of questions asked by listeners about our experience. Once you start looking, there are other times you might take the train instead of alternatives like flying or driving. Justin Watson, another SXSW panelist, took the train from Canberra to Sydney instead of driving or flying, and I chat with him about this experience too. Finally, I added another train ride just in time to make this episode - travelling on the Australind train from Perth to Bunbury on my way to run workshops in south-west Western Australia. Another fantastic experience, and I tell you all about it in this episode.  Links: Dr Susanne Etti - https://www.linkedin.com/in/susanneetti/  Intrepid Travel - https://www.intrepidtravel.com/ Susanne's op ed, The Track Less Travelled - https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/track-less-travelled-what-12-hr-train-trip-between-melbourne-etti  Justin Watson - https://justins.world/  Flight emissions calculator - AtmosFair - https://www.atmosfair.de/en/offset/flight/  Carbon footprint calculation from the Nature Conservancy - https://www.nature.org/en-us/get-involved/how-to-help/carbon-footprint-calculator/  Join our Facebook group for Thoughtful Travellers - https://www.facebook.com/groups/thoughtfultravellers Join our LinkedIn group for Thoughtful Travellers - https://notaballerina.com/linkedin Show notes: https://notaballerina.com/313 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When SXSW, arguably the world's most iconic conference, expanded from North America for the first time with a new event in Sydney, it was the perfect opportunity to explore future trends and fundamental truths with the CMOs of the biggest brands in Australia. In this panel discussion, live from SXSW Sydney, we sit down with Zach Kitschke from Canva, Jo Boundy from Commonwealth, and Brent Smart from Telstra for a no-holds-barred conversation on what it takes to build an iconic brand.

Sarah Walsh has been integral in making women's football in Australia what it is today. Following a club career that saw her play in the NWSL in the United States and in the A-League Women in Australia, she won 70 caps for Australia's national team the Matildas and has spent the second half of her career fighting for equity and equality for today's athletes.In the 2023 Women's World Cup, the Matildas captured the hearts of Australia and the world with record breaking audiences glued to their screens to see the Matildas secure Australia's highest-ever finish at a World Cup.The timing of this episode was made even more special by the announcement that the 2023 Collective Bargaining Agreement from Football Australia has gone even further to create the right conditions for high performance. For Sarah, the years and years of work leading up to this moment in time just keep paying off, and to hear her fully grasp the enormity of what she has achieved as she speaks with Damon in this episode is truly special.Sarah and Damon recorded this conversation live at the inaugural SXSW Sydney in front of a standing room only audience. They discuss the conditions needed for high performance, the importance of culture on and off the pitch and the pivotal moments in Sarah's life that saw her become the trailblazer she is today.Show notes: This episode pairs well with Damon's recent conversation with Jamila Rizvi, who detailed exactly what we need to do to make work and the workplace a better, safer and more equitable place for women.

SXSW recently increased payments to performers from $250 to $350 but performers still have to choose between getting paid or getting access to a free wristband to attend the festival. This change happened as SXSW expanded its global footprint and just put on SXSW Sydney. Contributor Celine Teo-Blockey went to the festival and spoke to artists on what they think is fair treatment and pay.    Hear more about the open letter that called for higher pay at SXSW: https://www.kexp.org/podcasts/sound-vision/2023/2/14/250/ Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/sound/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Here it is! This is the live recording of our panel at South By South West (SXSW) Sydney, from October 2023, on the topic “Why We Need Travel More Than Travel Needs Us”. It was such a thrill to be on the podcast stage at SXSW with Catherine Marshall, Susanne Etti and Justin Watson, three fabulous guests who had so many interesting stories and opinions to offer for this tricky topic.  We start off with everyone sharing a story about what travel means to them, then dive deeper into topics like wildlife tourism, overtourism, and how we can travel better. This episode was recorded live at SXSW Sydney 2023.
