In this week’s show, Kevin talks to Emmy nominated filmmaker, journalist, and writer/host of the ‘I’m Not A Monster’ podcast, Josh Baker, about his journalism career, his pathway into media and reportage, and the new show itself, which is proving to be a smash hit around the world.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The older generation of broadcasters and influencers know that the work they have done has been handed down to them. Therefore, the great ones know when the time is right to pass the torch onto a new generation.
• There is beauty, even in the most troubled parts of the world. It's regrettable that conflict arises in these beautiful corners of the planet.
• Stories we hear on the media are not always the clear cut narratives we think they are. Often the truth of a situation, especially from foreign lands, is obscured by our need to feel justified about foreign policy.
• When reporting on a situation, or acting as presenter, it is our responsibility to not inject our own feelings, emotions, or bias towards the subject. It must be presented with a sense of ambivalence. The audience must be allowed to make up its own mind.
